By MRS. ALGIE RATCLIFFE
(Mountaineer Correspondent)
Waynesville High School's bas
ketball coaches should feel a deep
sense of gratitude for Ratcliffe
Cove. :; ,,.-ilf :.i; vrf-.,
- The Waynesville girls 'went
through the last season undefeated
thoueh Ik dunce, and won all three
In the course of all this action,
Betty Sheehan, one of the regular
forwards, set a new Western North
Carolina scoring record for a sin
gle gam when she racked up 62
points against Edneyville in the
Enka Invitational.
Betty is from Ratcliffe Cove.
So is Ncncy Medford, one of the
other two regular forwards and
Nancy Leopard, and Mary Jo Gras
ty, the varsity guards.
That m?ans, in other words, that
Ratcliffe Cove supplied half of
Waynesville's starting team.
This community also did nearly
as well for the Waynesville High
School boys' team. x
Of the five regulars, Ratcliffe
Cove is home for Forward ' Gene
Liner, a senior; and Sophomore
Guard Ralph Jenkins, T' - ' ,
All these fine athletes, however,
aren't merely fine athletes.
Take Miss Medford, for instance.
Nancy Jane, as she was chris
tened, she:
1 Is President of the Elizabeth
Chapel Methodist Youth Fellow
ship; , :
2 Was secretary of the 1949
Sunday School;
3 Was named Haywood Coun
ty's Outstanding 4-H Club- Girl for
1949;
4 Is an outstanding member of
her Future Home Makers of Amer
ica chapter;
5 Was Ratcliffe Cove commun
ity queen in the 1949 Tobacco
Harvest Festival, and was named
a member of the Festival queen's
court;
6 -Was selected to serve in the
4-H Girls' delegation which greet
ed Governor Scott when he came
to Haywood March 4;
7 Took State and local honors
projects for 1949;
8 Has been named to take part
in the Apple Festival at Hender
sonville. , This substantial young citizen
will get ber high school diploma
this June. . -'-. :
After that, she currently plans
to go to Brevard Junior College
fpr hr first two years of higher
'idi'ealKmA
versity 6f Tenhessee.
One big reason that helped her
pick Tennessee the coeds can play
basketball.
Mary Jo, another senior and
guard, moved up to a regular berth
on the varsity after a year's ap
prenticeship on the second string,
Off the court, she wag chosen
as Senior Class representative for
the annual Valentine's Day dance,
is song leader of her Waynesville
Senior 4-H Club, and treasurer of
the Elizabeth Chapel MYF. "
Nancy Leopard is only a sopho
more ("thank goodness," the
coaches say) and another girl who
is active in church and 4-H Club
work. She's song leader for the
Baptist Training Union and when
ever there is work for her Senior
4-H Club to do, you'll- find Nancy
somewhere in the middle of it. -
Gene Liner, a senior, plays with
the crack Waynesville Township
High School senior band and is ac
tive, also, in the work of his 4-H
Club and the Ratcliffe Cove Bap
tist Church.
Ralph, his teammate, also de
votes a lot of his spare time help
ing the folks of the Elizabeth Chap,
el Methodist Church.

the underwoods had to lick a
bunch of .healthy. Clyde basketball
players and an acute shortage of
manpower to get through the semi
finals Friday night.
In fact, they wound up playing
the last six minutes of the ball
game with only four men.
Forward Bobby Plott was back
in Waynesville at the Haywood
County Hospital becoming the
father of an infant hoy just about
an hour before game time.
Manager Bill Kudos, a starting
guard, had to be in Fayettevllle on
business.
Consequently, only six players
made the trip to Clyde for the con
test and two of the starters fouled
out early in the final period,
Still, the host Clyde team found
the locals entirely too numerous
to handle, Of the six Underwoods
who attended the meeting, five of
theni scored, anywhere from Gard

in by Canton's Al Phillips.

finals of the annual tournament

before they nipped the Fines Creek
The Ci ablree hoys pulled an ifp

33-27.
Contrary to expectations, how
ever, the Canton boys didn't have
their whole varsity high school
lineup available.
The Fines Creek girls, compris
ing 'most of the players who won
two high school tournaments this
past seasun, might have made it
but for disastrous personal fouls
that knocked star guard Cenie Fer

Regina Ferguson out in the last
crucial minutes.
Marjorie Cogdlll, hitting for 19,
and Nancy Medford, collecting 12,
paced the Waynesville girls. Out of
action for the contest were varsity
guard Hazel Farmer and high-scoring
Betty Sheehan of the high
school varsity. Betty missed the
entire tournament because of an
attack of flu. c 1
Of th! others on the smooth
working scholastic sextet, Mary Jo
Grasty, six-foot guard, played only
three minutes of the championship

The Fines Creek girls, with
