Soph Paul Husband carefully studies situation. Action Packed Games All the Way . Being behind was all the reason our team needed to try harder. In one very exciting game at Central, the powerful bengals were only able to squeeze out a 1-point overtime victory. In the Hinds County Tournament Wingfield played a commendable game, losing to the eventual District six champs, Forest Hill, by only eleven points. Good team work, energetic hustle, and accurate outside shooting proved the key to the Wingfield attack. With our city champ B-team coming up to join the varsity, Falcon fans can look forward to win- ning teams in the near future. Below in the game against Callaway our Falcons gave heart and soul to prove themselves tops to the Chargers. In B-team action our boys demolished their Baby Bolts in both contests. irq 3, Good try but he scored anyway. 3 Larry Magee aims in a jumper.

Sophs, Juniors Pace Team With the first squad consisting of three juniors and three sopho- mores, next year promises a team with much more experience and balance. Even though no players had previously received letters, at times the team functioned as a well rounded squad. Wins were posted over Brookhaven, Scott-Central, Madison-Ridgeland, Vicksburg, Yazoo City, Natchez, Pascagoula, and Picayune. Probably the best showing of the season was a 76-58 romp of Natchez in the South Big Eight. Little Steve Rives goes up for two it F . h -at just can't stop that Husband boy.

Falcons take Third in South Big Eight Tournament After losing by a heart-breaking 1-point to Central three days be- fore, Wingfield had every reason to go to the South Big Eight Tournament at Laurel a let-down team . But this was not so as the thirteenth seeded Falcons knocked off the fourth seeded Natchez Rebels 76-58 in the first round. Following this upset, the spectacular Falcons surely made themselves the Cinderella team of the tournament by whipping powerful Pascagoula 58-44 in the quarter finals. After a narrow loss to eventual Big Eight champ Gulfport, the unerring Falcons coasted to a 61-53 win over second seeded Ficayune to take third place in the South Big Eight. Spirit, hustle, and amazing shooting percentage from the floor was the key to Wingfield's success. Pacing the Falcon attack were Wayne and Paul Husband and Larry Magee. Also showing outstanding ability were little Steve Rives and rebounder Merrill Tidwell. Named to the All Big Eight team were Larry Magee and Wayne Husband, while Paul Husband was selected to the Honorable Mention squad. ,tt 2' . :VM .
