NORCROSS VS. CENTRAL: The game against the Black Knights was a grand victory for the Blue Devils in which all the excitement of an ex- cellent basketball game was involved. The score was 48-49 in favor of Central in the last few seconds of the game. Being only one point behind and a few seconds remaining and a possibility to win, tension was building high on the Norcross side. All NHS players were alert. Mike Senf got the ball, shot, and the ball terrifically went through the nets just as the buzzer went off. So the final score ended in 50-49 win for the NHS Varsity Boys. It was remembered as one of the best games of the season. Jeff Henderson led in scoring with 12 points, followed by Mike Senf with 9, Jeff Sillay and Elbert Manning each with 8. Alec Gilner led in rebounds with 9, Elbert Manning had 6, and Mike Senf had 3. Overall, the season for the Varsity Boys was a good one. Such perfor- mances as the ones in the games with Central Gwinnett and Berkmar are good examples of their worthiness. They rounded up the season with 11 wins and 13 losses. Jeff Henderson with an average of 12 points, Jeff Sillay with 11, and Elbert Manning also with 11 were the leading scorers for the season. Rounding up the top 3 in rebounds were Elbert Manning with an average of 8 rebounds per game, Jim Crego with 7, and Mike Senf with 6. Thanks to the Senior Varsity players and good luck to Coach Norris and the rest of the team next season.
