Cougars Succeed In Their First Season The NSH football team presented for- midable competition to their opponents in District IV this year. The Cougar’s first season was successful, with a record of 6-3-1. Team members benefited greatly from the direction of Coach Joe May, who attributed the team’s success to the basic elements of dedication to the team, sportsmanship, a positive attitude, and hard work. Captains of the team, W. G. Garrison and William Wright, led the team with a spirit of determination. Mr. Billy Boswell, Mr. Wayne Staples, and Mr. Wa yne La- tham were assistants to Coach May at practices and throughout the games.

The team, prac- ticing and playing home games at the Armory in Blackstone, worked hard on such things as lay-ups, dribbling, and defense. Great concentration was placed on teamwork and good sports- manship. The leading scorer and rebounder, Lawrence Clark, worked hard with the other team members in many close games, some in overtime. The team cap- tains were Winston Moss and Linwood Stokes. 28 — SPORTS Douglas Garrett, William Gregory, Leroy ard Smith, Dennis Hawkes, Lawrence Parker, James Doswell; Third Row: Leon- Clark, Linwood Stokes, Orlander Marshall.
