GIRLS ' BASKETBALL When football season rolled away and everything was quieted down a call was given by Coach Cassell for basketball volunteers. This call brought over thirty girls, all with vigor, pep, and enthusiasm. Practive every day and keeping Coach Cassell’s rules soon got the girls in shape to meet the on- coming teams. As the days rolled by practice grew serious and quite exhausting, but about thirteen girls held out; on these Coach Cassell could depend, and so from these he picked his team. These were loyal and held together to the end, showing the true Buccaneer spirit. Even though they did not have a winning combination, they learned to take defeat right on the chin and continue to fight. The girls who gave Big Stone Gap their team were: Capt. Legge, J. Pennington, Dixon, Carter, Maceyko, P. Pennington, Miller, Tilley, Cambios, Simms, and McCluen. Although Coach Cassell loses three Seniors from this season’s team, he will have a wealth of material for the next season. Those who are lost through graduation are: Capt. Legge, Tilley, and Dixon. Each of these girls has done much for Big Stone Gap’s basketball team.

Bill Moore was by far the individual star of the meet. Haynes won the broad- jump, and Willis came in second in the shot-put event. Kilbourne, Captain of the 1940 Team, was a member of the 880-yard relay and came in second in the 220-yard dash and the broad-jump. The members of the Relay Team are: Haynes, Kilbourne, Graham, and Moore. The Buccaneers should have a good team this season because only one member, Willis, was lost by graduation.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL The Big Stone boys had a very successful season. Winning twelve games and losing nine, the season was more impressive than figures show. The team lost six of the nine games by one to four-point margins. The undefeated Emory and Henry Freshman Team defeated Big Stone Gap by only one point. A victory over Norton brought the Buccaneers an invitation to the District Tournament at Marion. There they were defeated in the first game by William Byrd High School of Roanoke, 40-36. In the Wise County Tournament, they won over Wise to advance to the semi-finals where Flat Gap beat them 27-17. Hoyt Moore and Eddie Kilbourne made the All-Tournament Team. Kilbourne was also picked for the All-District Team. Coach Barker will lose five boys by graduation: Captain Callahan, Kilbourne, Oldashi, Cummings, and Burdette.
