Heacock BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL The Holly Springs Hawks have ended another basketball season with a record of three wins and eleven losses. Although many of our games were very close it seemed we just couldn't come out on top. Our basketball team consisted of only six players which was a handicap especially when one of the players was absent from a game and also hindered us in our practices by not having enough boys. The nurnber of points each player made this year are as follows: NAME OF PLAYER TOTAL POINTS AVERAGE POINTS Junior Gallagher 280 20 Edward Weber 51 3.63 John Sulsberger 35 2.5 Ted Ericksen 21 1.5 Dick Pixler 20 1.42 Elden Baker 9 .75 BASEBALL Due t.o only six boys in high school this year we had to use Junior High boys to have enough for a baseball team. We cou1dn't play any regular games but had a few practice garnes with different schools which was lot of fun.
