ATHLETIC PROGRAM Sumner High ' s athletic program begins with basketball. Progress is being made, however, toward fielding a foot¬ ball team in the near future. The basketball season for 1947-48 can be termed as a successful one. Although the girls won only two games while losing nine, their hard play and good sportsmanship was a credit to the school. The boys won seven games and lost four, all of them to Allen Jay and Guilford, on the regular schedule. The boy ' s team, probably one of the best in several years, was coached by Shube Clark, Jr., a Sumner graduate- The girls were directed by Mrs. T. H. Smith, and Mrs. C V. Gamble. Sumner •pened the season against Pleasant Garden. The boys in red upset the Black Demons 26-23. In a return game, Sumner had an off night due to an injury sustained by Billy Lewis, and lost 21-15.

The second game was just as fiercely fought as Sumner won 28- 27. Jamestown, a bitter rival, played us on the Allen Jay court, long a jinx to Sumner. The regular game ended in a tie, just as the first overtime period did, but early in the second overtime Jimmie McCuiston broke the tie and Jamestown could never catch the Maroon and Gold, Final score was 39-36. In the Guilford County Tournament Sumner High beat McCleansville 29-17 to go into the quarter-finals against Guilford, Sumner showed its best form as it outplayed the very tall experienced Guilford team in the first quarter. However, Sumner gave way to a five point lead at the half. At the start of the second half, Guilford increased its lead to thirteen points, but the scrappy little boys in
