SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS Football The newly formed F. Webb Wildcats enjoyed a very successful season. The wildcats', under the direction of Coach Parham defeated Wakelon 25-7, Henderson 12-0, Hillsboro 25-12, Southern 12-7, Southern Alamance 20-7, and Dunn 1-0, losing only to league champs Roxboro 20-19, Henderson 20-19, and Chapel Hill 21-6, while being tied by Northern 7-7. The team scrapped and hustled all the way, proving that desire and determination were all that really counted. The team had four boys to make the All-Conference team. They were tackle Richard Hall, quarterback Tony Oakes, guard Marty Yancey, and halfback David Cannady who also earned a position on the All-East team. Among the other outstanding players were ends Bobby Frazier, lay Perkinson, Donald Warren, tackle Robert Corbitt, guards Ben Barker and Earl Rose, center Fred Forsythe, and backs Tilden Martin, Bill Willis, Kenny Cox, and Charles Barker, Coach Parham and the team are looking forward to another good season with four- teen lettermen returning. Bascb all This year Coach Parham's baseball team is looking forward to a fine season. With improved pitching, Coach Parham thinks he will have a successful season. We should have a much stronger team resulting from the consolidation of the four schools. According to Coach Parham, the strong points should be hitting and fielding, and the weakest point will be pitching. I Basketball Under the guidance of our new head basketball coach, Iames Graham, the wildcats sprang off to a good start this season. The lack of height was the major deciding factor in the outcome of the many ball games. The boys worked very hard during prac- tice. They forfeited many of their pleasures so they could be on the floor learning new offensive and defensive strategy for the next game. Even though the team didn't have a winning season, they learned a lot about basketball. Now that the 63-64 season is over, the boys who are going to play in the dribble derby next year will have two goals to work for- a winning season and the District Championship. The Kittens,' respect every team - fear none. Win- ning three out of eight games they ranked third in the District III Conference. Mrs. Lacala Oakes coached this fine team with Betsy Gentry serving as captain. The leading scorers were Glynda Frazier, Betty Lou O'Brien, Betty Yancey, and Betsy Gentry respectfully. The fine diamond defense fed the ball to the offense who sank a total of 134 field goals. The loss of three seniors could hinder the team, but with a motto of KA winner never quits and a quitter never wins, they expect to go all the way next season. Track Long an unemphasized sport, track is quickly becoming popular. It is different from other sports in the aspect that each player is an individual on his own and has a chance to prove his excellence on the field without the help of his teammates. Coach Graham has an optimistic outlook and thinks with a lot of work the team will make a good record for itself. He is expecting points this year from returning runners Kenny Cox and Iames Horner, and strongmen Richard Hall and Robert Corbitt.
