Ronald Tyndle tries desperately to score. The Burns High Varsity Boys have ended one of their finest seasons by placing fourth in the Southwest Con- ference. The team was headed by outstanding athletes such as John Borders, Ronnie Tyndle, and Terry Hunt. Borders led the team in scoring with three hundred thirty-seven points. Ronnie Tyndle and Terry Hunt fol- lowed in scoring being second and third respectively. Borders also set the single season rebounding record of two hundred fifty. The previous high was two hundred forty-three. Ricky Sims set the single season assists re- cord with fifty. Coach Bill Powell put forth much time and effort to lead our boys in these victories. When asked his opinion on the season, he responded, ‘‘Only playing one senior, we’re real pleased with our record. It’s the best record we’ve had in the past four years. We also had a lot of outstanding help on the bench. We feel like since we are graduating only two people and with the fine J.V. season we had this year, we should be moving on up.”’ Burns Places Fourth in Conference t Ne | VW peg | John Borders shoots for two points. Terry Hunt jumps for a would-be rebound.

Our girls’ team should be commended for all the great work they have done this year. This talented group is composed of many fine players. Deborah Martin was the leading free throw shooter, thinking out her actions in- stead of merely reacting. Teresa Bolt was the best at hustling and on the man to man defense. Susan Warlick played the best offense. The best outside shooter was Phyllis Boggs whose accuracy for hitting the basket from ten feet or farther out was one-hundred percent. Another good player was Traci Smith who helped com- plete many successful plays with careful thought before each action. Coach Jerry Bridges is proud of the Lady Bulldogs, for with much hard work they won the honor of competing at Salisbury for the Southwestern Confer- ence title of number one. In turn, Burns is proud of Coach Jerry Bridges. Burns High School has had winning teams as long as he has coached. A good block is made to defend our goal. Get on up, Susan!! There are many ways to keep an opponent from scoring.
