lv ' , A x :mlm W A Zgashetiiall Season Playing and defeating every high school basket-ball team in VVestern North Carolina except three, Charlotte High School has made an enviable record. Although defeated for the State championship by one lone point, the basket-ball team of the Charlotte High School closed its season with a record unequaled by any other North- Carolina high school in the last ten years. Every team 113 VVestern North Carolina was played and all but three defeated. Of the. twenty- seven games played the team won twenty-one and lost six, three of which were played on foreign courts and one was played with a senior team. The strong team of the Asheville School for Boys was defeated twice and this is saying some- thing, for this team played and defeated the principal prep schools of North and South Carolina. The C. H. S. team at the end of the season had piled up a total of one thousand and nine points to their opponents' six hundred and sixty-three. The team was very fortunate in having one of the best coaches in the State, and if it had not been for him, Charlotte's won and lost column would have been different. Mr. f'Fessor Faul, although student of the game, managed to find time from his duties as physical director of the Y. M. C. A. to put the boys through their paces and whip them into one of the most formidable cage aggregations Western North Carolina has ever turned out. Heres success to Fessor and he will always ind a hearty welcome at the Charlotte High School. The first game of the season was lost to Churchland. But the Hi's came to their own and defeated Belmont, Greensboro and Concord--all in a row. Lexing- ton Hi's gave us our next defeat, but the team came home more determined to win. and defeated Raleigh and Monroe. Then they left on their western trip. defeating the strong team representing C. M-N. A. The next afternoon they gave the Asheville School for Boys its first defeat. That night they lost to ,Xsh-eyille lligh School. After the team returned they won two games, but lost one game to XYinston- Salem. Then started the elimination series. llefore a week had passed the snappy Hiis had eliminated Huntersville, Dixie, Candler and llelmont. The team left for Chapel Hill Tuesday morning and defeated Greensboro that night, and after a day's rest eliminated the strong l,ealasx'ille team. The game was anybody's game until the whistle blew. Then the strong team repre- senting the eastern part of the State was met for the State championship. The game was a hard, clean-fought one. Charlotte had had luelq on shooting foulg Never a better game of high school basket-ball had been seen at Chapel llill. Neither team ever led by more than four points, and had the game lasted om- llti ,.L
