Members of the all-county boys and girls teams will get keys and cer 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 | shore Basketball Conference was 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. More RepresentaUve l.ast year four members of the I All-Seashore Conference boys team came from the county and one 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.
