o One's Laughin At Brookstone Now From Staff Reports HOGANSVILLE, Ga. - Brookstone has never before measured up to the basketball powers in Region 5-A. As pat- sies, the Cougars have been ridi- culed by opposing fans and rou- tinely beaten by opposing teams. Through much of this season, the trend has continued. The laughing stopped Friday night when the Brookstone boys, playing in their first region tour- X. I 1 ff Heaton 123 nament game ever, defeated Greenville 67-64. The victory sends the Cou- gars, 12-14, into tonight's final against three-time defending state champion Woodbury. Ear- lier, the War Eagles narrowly escaped West Point 62-61. Win or lose tonight, Brook- stone will make a state tourna- ment appearance next Friday at Atlanta's Morris Brown Col- lege. First-year coach Jay Sparks savored his team's accomplish- ment 'ilior Brookstone's sake, it just feels great, Sparks said. We are laughed at when we go out on the floor because we are predo- minantly white. When we went our there today you could feel the chuckles in the air. We've turned our program around. We're not going to get blown out of every game. Stephen Kirven led the Cougars Friday with a game-high 24 points. Goshay and Morgan Wal- drep added 14, and Timo Treilobs 13. Kirven also connected on 12 of 13 free throw attempts. BROOKSTONE 1671 - Kirven 22, J.Martin J, Wol- ' h 14 B M 1 dn-P 14, Treilobs 13, Gos cv , . artln .
