White Imp Cagers Recover After a Slow Start Perennially a slow starter, the 1961 edition of the White Imp basketball proved to be no different. After heavy losses from last years team, Cary dropped five straight games at the beginning of the season, all by close scores. The Imps then bounced back by routing four straight conference opponents. The well balanced team edged into fourth place in a tight conference race with eight wins and six losses at midseason.

 ALMOST DOESN'T COUNT, says Jack Chappell who neatly eludes a one-handed tackle on one of his famous end sweeps. Little Imps Tempt Rivals with Defeat Cearching to build a winning Cary team for the future years, both the Cary Junior High football and basketball teams found a winning little Imps team in the present years. Going undefeated in county competition in both sports, Cary rolled to two undisputed Wake County champ- ionships. Their only losses come from the larger Raleigh junior high schools in closely played games. LEAPING INTO THE AIR to grab a pass from a defender, Cary end Ken Martin shows his pass catching ability. IT'S THE END OF THE LINE for David Parsons as Gamer tacklers gang-tackle him. JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM First Row: Mr. Joel Long, Rusty Holder, Bobby Mills, Carl Griffis, Irvin Slade, Tommy Tucker.
