High Scorers Feature
High School Cagers
High school basketball swung
Into high gear last week and
before the Christmas holidays
most of the coaches will have
an opportunity to know what they
really have on their teams.
Harvey Heartley’s Little
Blues, from Ligon High, had
little trouble taking the number
of the Cardinal Gibbons High,
and took them by the score of
81-64.
The two Willies, Pulley and
Cooper, led the Ligon packu'lth
19 and 18 points, respectively.
Jones had 12 and Brooks 11.
Cooke pushed through 16 points
for the Catholic boys, while
London was high, with 18.
Coaches J. E. Foster and E.
L. Chester seem to have their
boys, at Frankllnton’s Person-
Albien, going at a rapid rate.
They have chalked up 9 victor
ies without a defeat.
Captain Henry Bibby, who was
a terror last year, and made
the All-State team is averag
ing 36 points per game. He
is backed up with Herbert Bro
die, Allie Wright, DavidTahron
and Charles Johnson. They
represent the starting-five.
Ronnie Brodie, Foster Bro
die, Sanford Perry, Elvis Hicks
and Jesse Fogg are not too far
behind the big five. They seem
to make up a strong bench
and it is apparent that the Yel
low Jackets, runners-up in
Class 1A last year, will improve
on that record this year.
Johnston Central, at Smith
field, showed much strength
against Dillard of Goldsboro,
and took a 94-91 game. Rich

tween Kinston’s Adkin and
Eppes of Greenville. Adkin
squeezed past Epees4s-43. The
closeness of the game can be
seen in the fact that Ricks w'as
the only man on the winning
team that w-ent into double

The losers had two double fig
ure men, Marrow with 16 and
Barrett with 13.

the scores made by the Har
nett County five, with 24, Bowton
got 30 for the winners, Eloy
11 and Battle 11.
Springfield was no match for
Spaulding and took a 73-42
trouncing. Spaulding had only
two double figure players how
ever, Pridgen with 30 and Whit
aker with 12. Jones and Barnes
got into double figures for
Springfield, with 13 and 12.

out on the long end of a 66-50
score over Dunn’s Harnett High.
Harnett had the high scorer in
Rhodes, who poured in 25 points.
Judkins helped with his 11, but
the others were not able to
match the efforts of the two.

on Apex Consolidated and de
feated the Apex boys by an
83-63 score.

by Dunn and U. Grissom, with
19 each. Farrar rounded out
the quartet with 13.
Whiteville’s Central got 80
and Mt. Olive’s Carver got 66.
With a little help George would
have made the score different

only two other team mates in
double figures, William 13 and
L. Lennon 11,
Central was sparked fay Roy
als with 18, George 16, Thomp
