CHARLES HOLT PHIL BOWERS LANE HURLEY JOHN OLIVER Ashe Central Boys Win First Game The Ashe Central boys opened their 1961-'62 basket- ball season December 1 at home against Riverview. Under the direction of their new head coach, Wade Rose, the boys showed all- around teamwork by winning 58-32. The scoring was led by Lane Hurleywith 14 points and Charles Holt with 12 points. Three seniors, Phil Bowers, Charles Holt, and Lane Hurley are representing the team as tri-captains for the year. It is an honor to be an athlete and represent the school. To be a basketball player at Ashe Central High School, one is expected not only to be a skilled player but also to possess high qualities of conduct andto meet certain academic requirements. Basketball is a great thing. It is too great for one person, for one team, or many groups. It is too great for athletes to show poor sportsmanship and tear down the ideals and qualities that make basketball a great sport. Thus We at Ashe Central would like to give a salute to sportsmanship. We as a team are proud of our fans, our gymnasitun, and our school. We hope that our sportsmanship will be as great as all of these com- bined. DICKIE LIDDLE PHIL WITI-IERSPOON JIMMY WOODIE GARY BLEVINS

Tri-Captains: Charles Holt, Phil Bowers and Lane Hurley. Our goal in the win and loss column is to better the conference record of last year which was five wins and nine losses. We also wish to play in the State Tournament. However we feel that there are many things more important than the score of a ball game. The real game is learning to get along with othersg learning to work as a groupg developing character and personalityg developing habits of fair ply, learning to carry out responsibilitiesg to think clearly, to develop leadership qualitiesg to build self-confidence and to be able to accept de- feat gracefully.
