Central Junior High School Patriots Clinch Eleven Inning Victory Over Myrtle, 10-5 At Rotary Luncheon By JOE CORNWELL Herald Sports Editor It is always with a certain amount of way feeling that we note the recognition of a person for a job well-done. It is even more so when that person is one of the youth of the community and a friend with whom you have talked and joked on many occassions. It is because of this lhat this short space is used for congratulations, brief but sincere. You are the first in what is hoped to be a long line of Kings Mountain High School baseball players to be recog nized as the Most Valuable Mountaineer. The thinking in this is that the choice could not have been a better one. It could not have gone to a more deserv ing member of the team, though many could well be deem ed invaluable to the team You will be remembeied as the first. Your deeds on the diamond, that warranted you as the first choice, will long b»‘ remembered with a certain glow and feeling to one who saw them. Especially to be remembered will be vour stints 1 against Shelby and Belmont. These were those that base ball Ians are always looking for. Let it be said, that you arc I not only congratulated for yoiii' performance on the dia mond, l)ut also you are to be commended for your off-field | conduct Both are indispensable to] a per.son who is truly Most] Valuable. Congratulations again and! let's hope that subsequent winnei's will be up to the standards set by the first Most X'aluable Mountaineer.
