WTHS Mountainettes?Best In The Blue Kid^e
Exhibiting the same spirit and determination that mad:;
the 1953 Waynesville football team champion of the Blue
Ridge Conference, the WTHS girls basketball team has
fought its way to the conference loop's pinnacle, and is now
recognized as the best in the Blue Ridge.
Perhaps you can't imagine a group of pretty high school
girls sc lapping like Jimmy *"rady, Harold Met'lure, Tom
Cogdill or J. W. Stevens do on the gridiron, but if you had
seen the Waynesville sextet against Bethel last Friday, you'd
realize that the boys have no monopoly on Mountaineer spirit.
The Mountainettes were grimly determined to Is'at the
Bethel Belles for the second time this season?and that's
just what they did; although they had t<*battle the girls in
Blue and White from the opening tipoff until the dosing
seconds of the game.
In the last several minutes, Peggy Edwards, Bethel's
blonde bombshell, led a rally that would have defeated a
weaker foe. But the Waynesville girls aren't the kind who
wilt under pressure.
In addition to beating the Belles twice, the girls coach
ed by C. hi. Weathcrby and Margaret Perry, hold doubl ? vic
tories over Mars Hill, Fines Creek, Clyde, and Ilendersbnville.
and single wins over Canton and Brevard (both of whom are
to be met for the second time this week) and Crabtree-Iron
Duff the only team to conquer the Mountain Maidens.
'Standout in the Waynesville lineup is six-foot forward.
Linda Welch, who is responsible for much of the wear and
tear on basketball nets in the Blue Ridge Conference hav
ing poured 413 points through the hoop in 12 games for an
average of 21 plus points per game.
Besides being a terror under the basket, the attractive
Miss Welch is an expert foul shot. In fact, she's better on
free throws than most of the boys we've seen this year.
Waynesville's other two first-string forwards - Shirhy
Jones and Betty Smith ? also have good eyes for the basket
and would score more if they took more shots. But a lot of
^credit must go to them for passing up opportunities to lie
"high scorers themselves to feed the ball into Linda.
Down on the other end of the floor are three more rea
sons why the Waynesville girls are perched on top of the
Blue Ridge Conference?guards Margaret Walker. Joyce j
Hamilton, and Imogene Hooper. Although they never have
the chance to score themselves, this trio never lets up in its
efforts to give the forwards as many shots as possible;
The Mountainettes have two games remaining on their
regular season schedule?with Brevard Tuesday night and
Canton Friday night?both in the WTHS gym.
The first game should not be too hard, but the clash
with Canton's Lady Bears may be another thriller?just as
the first one was.
However, after having climbed to the top of the confer
ence heap, the Brown St. Belles are going to be extremely
reluctant to step aside for some other team to occupy the
heights.

Defeated
By BOB CONWAY
.Waynesville and Bethel met for
the second time this season Friday
night at Bethel and both games
proved to be repeat performances
of the contests here three weeks
ago.
Once again the WTHS Mour.
tainettes proved themselves the
class of Haywood County by out
pointing the strong Bethel Belles.
And, also once again, the Moun
taineers found the Blue Demons
too hot to handle.
Just as they did in the first
game. Coach Poindexter's boys got
the jump on the Mountaineers
early in the first quarter and then
resisted every attempt of the
Gold and Black to close the gap.
Bethel held seven-point leads at
the end of the first, second, and
Ihild quarters?at 14-7. 27-20. and
40-33. The final margin of victory
? eight points ? was two points
over that achieved by the Blue
Pe/nons irt the first meeting with
VV; ynesville, which ended at 61-55.
Generally speaking, Coach Bill
i Swift's charges gave a better ac
count of themselves Friday night
than they did on January 15th,
but another slow start, bad passes,
and weakness at the foul line put
them behind the eight ball.
Aldridge topped the Mountain-,
t ers with 12 points, and Tommy
Nichols, hit 11.
Gerald Owen, with 22 points, did
the most damage to the Waynes
ville cause; at times it seemed he
couldn't miss with his one-handed
ou-'h shots from close in.
The girls' game, qne of the
hardest fought between two coun
ty sextets this season, provided
constant thrills for the cash cus
