?" ' ~ ? Bethel Rolls Over Waynesville Twice; Mountainettes, Off Form, Drop First By BOB CONWAY Getting into the spirit of the oc casion Friday night as Bethel open ed its new gymnasium, both of Waynesville High's basketball squads did their bit by helping to provide the host teams with two victories ? both by sizeable mar gins. Ordinarily excellent marksmen, the Wavnesville Mountainetles couldn't find the range all night | and went down to their first de- \ feat, 52.38, at the hands of the ] Belles _ j The bo\s" gam-, was equally sad- < dening for Wayncsville fans as the j Mountaineers absorbed their third ' straight setback of the season ? losing 48-29 to the fast-moving . Blue Demons. On the day of the ' game, the Waynesville girls were ' rated the top sextet in Western ' North Carolina, but the Mountain- ' ettes played deep-freeze ball all evening on the new Pigeon hard- ' wood. Missing badly, the mountain 1 maidens got onlv two field goals in the first quarter and trailed 14-4 at the end of the period. Before . they were able to get back into the ball game, the Belles hoisted the count to 20-4 midway in the second quarter. Wayncsville cut the margin to only nine points at 23-14 at half time and to only seven points at the beginning of the third quarter, it was about that time when Bethel's tall blonde forward, Shir ley Poston, started dropping in goals from under the basket and the Belles soon put the game be yond reach. The Wayncsville girls' inability to hit from the foul line also hurt their cause considerably. With 24 chances, thev missed 18. Poor passing, such as the long tosses which were continually in tercepted by the Belles, and tight guarding bv the BUS guards also led to Wavnesville's downfall. Agncr Roborson led the Moun tainettes with 15 points, while Tulan Carver tallied 14 Shirley Poston dunked in 25 for Bethel, as Peegv Edwards, slowed by illness, hit 16. In the bovs eame, the Mountain- ' eers actually led until midway in he first quarter when Jack Phil- 1 ips raced under the basket for a ayup that put Bethel ahead. From ' hat time on, the Blue Demons * were in command and steadllv wid- ^ ?ned their margin. The halftime F icore was 24-12 in favor of the (~ tost quintet. ( Just as in the Cantan game, the C Mountaineers found their path to he basket continually blocked and 1 lad to shoot from the outer rim ' vhere, once again, they were un- r ible to hit "enough shots to keep lp with their opponents. Against the towering Blue Dem- I a >ns, the Gold and Black were con- a t a n 11 y outrebounded .? pa r-|n icularly on the defensive boards ^ vhere Worth Wells racked up 17 mints on tip-ins. e Defensively, Bethel was even q nore impressive than Canton. s. Joe Aldridge led the Mountain- p ?ers with seven points, while Tom ny Nichols and Jimmy Harris each [ot five. Waynesville was unable J| o pass the 20 mark until the ^ ourth quarter.
