SPORTS SPORTS FOR MANY YEARS HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING AT KNIGHTDALE. AMONG THE FAVORITES, BASKETBALL LEADSTHE LIST, THIS '48-'49 SEASON WAS A SUCCESS. WITHOUT A GYM T0 PRACTICE IN, WE ARE PROUD OF OUR TEAMS, WHO THROUGH THE COACHING OF MR. BOWERS AND MR, CASH WERE NOT THE CHAMPIONS, BUT ONE OF THE BEST. OUR TEAMS WERE PLACED AGAINST MANY TOUGH TEAMS IN THE CONFERENCE. MANY TIMES OUR TEAMS PULLED THRO, AND THEN AGAIN WERE UNSUCESSFUL. THE WINNING OF THE GAMES WAS NOT SO IMPORTANT AS THE OPPORTUNITY OF FIN' ALLY OBTAINING A NEW GYM. NEAR THE END OF OUR REGU- LAR BASKETBALL SEASON, OUR GYM WAS COMPLETED. WE HELD THE EASTERN SEMI-FINAL TOURNAMENTS AND THE EAST AND WEST FINALS ALSO. Now AS SPRING APPROACHES, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT AND SUCCESSFUL YEAR OF BASEBALL. OUR BASE' BALL TEAM HAS STARTED OFF WITH A GOOD STARTTHAT SEEMS T0 SAY THEY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FINALS. THEY HAVE PLAYED THREE GAMES THIS YEAR SO FAR AND HAVE woN ALL. KNIGHTDALE LOOKS AS IF IT IS GOING TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL YEAR OF BASEBALL, THE TEAMS THEY HAVEH.AY ED SO FAR ARE MILLBROOR, WENDELL, AND WAKELON. CONSIDERING ALL OUR wINNINGS AND LOSSES,wE HAVE HAD A YEAR FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT, AFTER ACQUIRING A NEW GYM, WE HOPE THAT NEXT YEARYS BASKETBALL TEAMS WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL WITH A NEW OOURT ON WHICH T0 PRAOTIOE. IF OUR BASEBALL TEAM CONTINUES T0 WIN, COULD WE WISH FOR A MORE SUCCESSFUL YEAR?. SPORT EDITORS ANNE WALL WAYNE FOWLER K 153 25 fig? 2:5 ' K I A I C7 LJ
