Waynesville led 14-K1 at the half,
and trailed only one point, 18-17.
at the end of the third quarter
Robbinsville stretched this to' a 30
18 decision before the game end
,ed. with Laura Davis accounted for
1 8 points.
Robbinsville gave Bethel's six
their worst scare of the lourna
ment in Friday night's semi-finals.
Bethel led Hi-fi at the halfway
mark, but the Graham county girls
unwrapped a scoring attack, led
by Davis and Walker, that put them
even with the Blue Demons. The
crowd followed some of the most
exciting moments of the tourna
ment as the lead see-sawed from
one team to the other, and Carlene
West sank a long lield goal (luring
the final minute to make the final
score 29 to 27 in favor of Bethel.
Canton and Waynesville then
took the floor to scrap for the other
finals berth. The Black Beared es
hooked in a couple of field goals
in the opening minutes, after
which the game settled down to a
defensive stage yvith the shooting
of both teams under par and free
shots accounting for most of the
points
Canton led by two points .he
lirst quarter, but the score was tied
11-up at the half and 13-13 when
the final period began. The home
team worked into a three-point
lead as the final minutes of play
ticked by, and Phillips bit a field
goal to close the gap to 10-18 just
before the whistle sounded to end
the game. Hendrix earned high
point honors with 8. although the
guards of both teams were the
most valuable players on the floor.
In Thursday night's program
Robbinsville outpointed Fines
Creek, last year's tourney cham
pions. 41 to 25. with Davis sinking
24 points for the winners. Bethel
edged past Mills River 44 to 2!).
Waynesville trimmed Edneyville 23
to 11, and Canton defeated Sylvn
23 to 18.
