The 1951 Yadkinville basketball team refused to believe those who said that the team would be woefully weak after the loss of the five regulars from the Journal-Sentinel championship team of 1950. Instead of believing all of those sob stories, the scrappy little band of players that made up the 1951 team went out and posted the second best record in Yadkin County, and one of the best records in the entire Northwest. The biggest handicaps to the team at the start of the season were inexperience and lack of size. Long hours of hard work under the able tutelage of Coach Malcolm Brown erased the inexperience angle. Plenty of fight and a bunch of sharpshooters who were considered one of the best shooting teams in the county took care of the problems caused by the lack of size. The average height of the team was five feet, ten inches. There were only two seniors on the team, Aaron Linville and Tommy Williams. Harce Dean Cornelius, Robert Trivette, and Darold Weatherman will be back for one more year of basketball, and the following boys are sophomores: Bobby Holcomb, Bobby and Delano Dinkins, Floyd Wilmouth, and Robert Shore. Kent Cranfill, a freshman, made up the eleventh man on the team. The team was strenthened considerably by the addition of Floyd Wilmouth, a transfer student from West Yadkin. The big burden of the offense was borne by sharpshooting Darold Weatherman and Bobby Holcomb. The team employed a man-to-man defense, and mixed up a fast breaking offense with their series of plays employing set shots. Some outstanding defensive work was done by Harce Dean Cornelius, Tommy Williams, Bobby and Delano Dinkins, and Floyd Wilmouth. The team should be considerably bigger physically next year.
