Cinder Men Show Eagle runners and jumpers did not gain much success as a team, but they had many members who worked very hard. Wayne Wright placed first in the central 4-A Sectionals with a high jump of 6 feet 2j 2 inches. Lawrence Baird won his heat at the Sectionals, but his time was not fast enough to get him into the state meet. Wayne Butler and Joe Lenins stood out in the shotput. All the boys will be back to win some meets this year as none were seniors. Wayne Wright will have a sparkling career ahead of him as he was only a sophomore. Charles Goodwin clears the high hurdle easily as he prepares for an upcoming meet. He has to jump several of these hurdles in an actual race. Signs Of Victory Wayne Wright demonstrates his unorthodox jumping style which gained him a berth in the state meet.

Last year, Smith began building its golf team for the coming 4A competition. After extensive practice and much hard work. Coach Claude Manzi led an anxious team into the tough 3A competition. In their first year of play, the Eagles proved to be able and willing foes to 3A oppo¬ nents. Coach Manzi cited Jack Baldwin, Lee Cavi¬ ness, Steve Jones, and Lee Owens as outstanding Eagle golfers. They proved to be consistent win¬ ners in helping Smith compile a 3-7 record. The Eagle golfers gained much valuable ex¬ perience in this first year, and figure to be much better in the coming seasons. 1965 Scoresheet Asheboro 15 Smith 0 E.

Smith Surprises Whirlies 46-41 In First Meeting A faked shot and attempted pass by Eddie Nix draws a foul from a Grimsley defender. Ball control was a key factor in that Eagle victory. Sterling Flowers drives through a maze of Grimsley cagers to get a tough basket. The Eagles had to cope with a tight Grimsley defense all evening. Phil Meeler attempts to tap in a missed shot, but the going is made difficult by West Forsyth foes. Steve Garrett comes up with nothing as he attempts to get a rebound in the season opener with Wilson.
