VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM CILCAPT’AIN ' S Ch-Cktptains Leonard Morgan ami Ronnie Smith L)e,sire, hustle, the will to win, and a wide-open brand of football were tbe highlights of the Ashley I ligh School football team this fall. While the “Mighty Green Wave’’ rushed to the conference championship, they were defeat- ed only by an upset-minded Asheville team. The week before, Ashley had clinched the title by defeating the South Sabres 14 to 6. In the semi-finals of the state 4-A championship the Green Wave gave all they had before falling to Durham 13 to 6 in a “close, hard-fought” football game. 1 o round out Ashley’s fine season, two players were given to|-) honors. Robert Burr and Dickie Giles were selected to the All-Conference team. Dickie was also selected to the Shrine-Bowl team and to the WBTV All-State team. Despite their loss to Durham the 1964 Green Wave will be remembered as a team with a will and a “wave.”
