Vada Creasy FIGHTING TEAMS LOSE TWO OPENING GAMES New London Academy's boys basketball team began it’s 1950 season when we journeyed to Lynchburg College to meet L.C’s. Junior Varsity. It was a hard fight, but we lost, 58 - 43. The game was highlighted by the brilliant play of forward Rucker Stanley. Though some- what dismayed by an enormous floor, the boys from the country were in the fight most of the way. Center Royal Padgett was the high scorer for us, with 17, while Rucker ‘Stanley got 15, Jimmy Hall 8, Ingham 2, and Earl Lindsay got 1 while play- ing a bang-up floor game and getting a black eye in the bar- gain. The girls basketball team also played it's first game Dec. 12, with Lynchburg College J. V's. The girls had tough luck with their shots, but enjoyed playing the game. We lost by a score of 32 - 2]. Dorothy Newman was high- est scorer with 10 points, and Carolyn Clark next with 6 points. Phyllis Walker and Clar- ice White each scored 2, and Nancy Hall 1. Rorer was high- est for the J. V's. with I 1 points and Layne next with 8. The girls are looking forward to a return game with the J. V's. soon.
