sor All-County basketball
teams this year. Members of
the all-county boys and girls

tificates from the paper.
Second team selections and
those getting honorable men
tion will receive certificates.
The decision to sponsor an all
county team came after the Sca

disbanded While there has been
I no formal announcement that the
I conference is finished, all the
I schools seem to have given it up
1 as a lost cause.

came from Swansboro. T11E
NEWS-TIMES feels that all-county
teams will be more representative
of the basketball played in the
county Such a team should prove
to be of more interest to fans and ?
casual readers of the sports page
as well.
All schools in the county play
each other at least twice, so
coaches should be able to give a
fair appraisal of every candidate
for honors.
To Publish Scores
The paper will publish scoring
figures for the top players in the
county. Feature articles, written
by the coaches themselves, will
give fans a chance to sec which
players arc looking best to the
men and women who really know.
The junior varsity programs be
ing followed at some of the schools
will merit much space in THE
NEWS TIMES. These programs
are developing the stars of the fu
ture.
Sports in Carteret County have
always been conducted on a high
level of sportsmanship and com
petition. THE NEWS-TIMES feels
that by adding the incentive of
an all-county team the players will
strive even harder to maintain
that level of excellence.
