Excitement Prevails As Burros Go To Regionals The cars and buses shown above are only a few of the 115 that formed a caravan on that cold snowy Saturday for the trip to Hinkle Field House. The air was alive with excitement as fans in decorated cars and dressed in red, white, and black showed up to back the Burros. At Hinkle. the Pittsboro Burros have just been introduced to a full house as the Champs from the Brownsburg Sectional. Winning a sectional brings to any community the feeling of pride but when that community is Pitts- boro and the end of a school era is near, that feeling spreads like wild fire as students get in the spirit of things with their Burrow shirts and hats. Grades one through twelve became involved in decorating the school with every type of poster imaginable. This spirit carried over to the alumni as former stu- dents brought out their letter jackets and class Sweaters and proudly Wore them to the Regional. Though Pittsboro was the smallest school there Qand the peopleis choice, it was evident that enthusiasm Was at its peak as 115 cars, 2 fan buses, plus the team formed a caravan for the trip to Hinkle to face one of the larger schools in the state. The team did not lose their poise and fought to the end, to be over-powered by the very strong North Central Panthers. The final score of 86-59 was not in our fa- vor but the heart of every Pittsboro fan at Hinkle Well as the few left at home was filled with praise for the boys who played so Well on the last Pitts- boro High School team.

Seniors boosted spirit for the last home game with their poster and picture of Last Home Game Brings Back The last basketball game ever to be played in a Pittsboro Gymnasium was Feb- ruary 14, 1975. This was a very special event and much planning had gone into the pre-game activities. Weeks before, letters and news items had gone out to past principals, coaches, and alumni inviting them to attend the game. The alumni arrived early to a special coffee to renew old acquaintances and view all the pictures collected and displayed by members of the alumni. At half-time, ex- principals and coaches were introduced and ahunni band members participated in playing the school song. There was a full house in attendance by 6:45 the fire marshall closed the doors, there was just no standing room left. This last game was between the Pittsboro Burros and the Avon Orioles. The Burros proceded to entertain the visiting alumni by beating Avon 71 to 61. It is only fitting to re- mark at this time, that the first game played in the Pittsboro gym was November 3, 1950 with Avon and the score was 37 to 38 in Avon's favor, It was really a night to remember-the Last Home Came at Pittsboro. .
