But last spring a few interested students formed the first Booneville High School Golf team. This first team was made up of Jeff Smith, Ty Hampton, Vince Guise, Buckley Foster, and last year's seniors Brad Mor- gan and Rusty McDonald. Under the direction of Coach Steve Brown, they played in regular matches held in Waldron, Ozark and Clarksville, plus the district match held in Dar- danelle. Although this recently developed team didn't win any matches, the players did well and really enjoyed competing against other teams in a new sport. Ty Hampton stated, Playing on the golf team gave me a chance to improve my game and meet players Driving to the basket, Dustin Blankenship (24) concentrates on making his lay-up against the Ea- gles.

Jeff competed in the ASGA- PG A Junior Golf Tour con- sisting of six one-day tour- naments. Two of these were held at the Hard- scrabble and the Fianna Hills Country Clubs in Fort Smith. Points were awarded to the top ten fin- ishers in each age group. Jeff finished first in the Northwest Region. The three best scorers were chosen to go to the state tournament in Little Rock. He went on to play at state. The top four finish- ers at state were asked to play in the regional tour- naments in Oklahoma City. Jeff finished fifth at state out of fifteen players. He missed the regional tournament by one stroke shooting a six over par, 78. 1 was disappointed that I didn't get to go to regionals but I was proud that I did so well in the state tourna- ment.

• v ts- s,vx ' .v v . Bearcats win with freethrows Nil v■ c uz j . It definitely was a freethrow game, explained new assistant coach Dale Mann. With a freethrow percentage of 71 percent, the Bearcats came out on top against the Mansfield Tigers, 50-43. From the first, the Bearcats and Tigers battled for the lead. Scott Goodwin scored the first bucket from a fast-break pass from Jeff Smith. Mansfield, not tak- en back, responded with two. Through- out the first quarter, both teams seemed to be trading baskets. But with 2:30 left and the Cats down by one, Ernest Goff swished a three-pointer only to be fol- lowed by another three-pointer from Smith putting Booneville up by five. Steals from Tony Travis and Smith joined with Goodwin's and Russell Wil- son's rebounding contributed to their 13-10 lead at the end of the quarter. The deciding quarter started with a 37- 32 lead for the Bearcats. Drives to the hole from both Travis and Wilson wi- dened the margin for the Cats. Needing to run some time off the clock, the Cats spread-out their offense. Smith drib- bling from half-court scraped off a screen set by Goff, then drove past three Mansfield players to score a lay-up. But the Tigers weren't out of it yet; a two- point play combined with a three-point- er brought the score back to 50-43. The Cats stayed in their spread of fense which caused Mansfield to foul. By making their freethrows and making key steals on defense, the Bearcats came away with an exciting 50-43 victory. Smith hit key shots from the baseline, ending as high scorer with eighteen. Tony Travis had ten while both Scott Goodwin and Ernest Goff added nine apiece. Following was Russell Wilson with four.

 Games like that put, at least, ten new gray hairs on my head! laughed an ex- cited but relieved Coach Steve Brown concerning the Lady Cats nail-biting victory over the Ozark Lady Hillbillies, 40-36. After coming from behind ten points at the half; the Lady Cats rallied in the third and fourth quarters to send the game into overtime. The turning point came in the third quarter with Tresa Adair hitting three straight baskets. Then Brenda Tomlin drove in for two, was fouled and made both shots. Combined with Martha Van- Allen's and Tomlin's freethrows, the third period ended with Booneville trail- ing 23-24. Michelle Whitaker's two freethrows brought the Cats the lead in the begin- ning of the fourth. After that, an ex- change of baskets by both teams tied the score 30-30 with 49 ticks left. Defense by Tomlin and Trena Adair contributed to converted baskets making the score 34- 31 with sixteen seconds to go. But, Melton from Ozark shot a three- pointer hitting nothing but net, sending the game into overtime. The Lady Cats spread out their offense after grabbing possession of the jump. The Adairs and Tomlin worked the ball up top, wearing the defense down. Spot- ting a weakness, Trena drove from half court to score a lay-up. Tomlin then picked off a pass; the Lady Hillbillies fouled to stop the clock. Trena and Tresa Adair combined with Brenda Tomlin's freethrows put the game out of reach, 40- 36.
