Co-captains Will Booth and Maury Flood teamed up in a rematch with Open Door Community Center to soundly trounce the visitors 86 to45. It was definitely a Maury Flood Night, who for the first time this season found the range for 3lpoints. Nevertheless, 24 points by Dick Ohrt and 25 rebounds by Will Booth couldn't quite be eclipsed. In a tight tussle with an unbeaten Bethany Baptist team the Blue Knights finally pulled away in the last quarter to win 67 to HB- AQGIN It was Maury Flood who led the way with 30 points while Big Will Booth mastered the backboards. A week later the Blue Knights found themselves pitted once again against the Bethany quintet. This time Will Booth and Dick Ohrt found the range and turned the game into a 95 to 77 rout. ln a magnificent performance Booth poured in 36 points and once more controlled the backboards. Equally fatal to the Bethany team was Dick 0hrt's 30 points which kept the opposition wondering where thenext basket was coming from. Just to add to the Holy Trinity Holiday HarryEvans threw in I5 mafkefs and Dulled down I6 rebounds. In the next game a speedy Central team took the measure of the Blue Knights 64 toll8. After shining in the last four games the Holy Trinitlf five didn't look themselves. Will Booth and Dick Ohrt turned in I7 and W Points respectively in the losing effort. Art LaChapelle's jump shot with five seconds remaining in the game won the next game for the Blue Knights by a 48 to 47 score.The Knights had to overcome a nine point deficit to take this game. It was defen- sive battle all the way with Will Booth starring scorewise with Iaand Dick Ohrt turning in a fine defensive game along with Maury Flood, Ed Murphy and Harry Evans. In their last outing before the Bibb City Tournament, the Blue Knights turned back Bibb 65-58. Maury Flood and Will Booth turned in the scoring punch with 20 and 23 points. Ed Murphy kept the Bibb team off balance with his frequent steals and Joe Shaffer showed great Boise for a sophomore in this victory. At last came the Bibb City Tournament. The Blue Knights found them- selves pitted against third-seeded Newnan All-Stars. Holy Trinity led off with an I8 to I0 lead at the first break. But as the fates would have it thenext three quarters sawtheir attack bog down. The all-stars quickly overcame the deficit and staved off a desperate Knight bid in the last quarter to take the game 7I to 65. The Newnan club continued on to iakethird place. and found that Holy Trinity had been one of the best teams they had faced all season. The defeat however could not tarnish an impressive I0 and 5 record. The student body could well beoroud of the Blue Knights andtheir coach Although losing three regulars, Will Booth, Dick Ohrt, and Maury Flood together with Art LaChapelle, John Kiernan, and Mike Keown to theHov- tiateg the Blue Knights look confidently to next year. Returningwill be veterans Harry Evans, and Ed Murphy along with Val Ganter, Pat Mc Donough, Joe Shaffer, and Billy Murphy plus the newcomers from the Jay Vee.
