Big-8 Competition inspires Ghiei's,7 Linksmen The 1963 Golf Team, consisting mostly of jun- iors, played on a circuit of city-wide meets, state meets, and of course the highly regarded Big-8 tourney in Laurel. Provine's team continuously made a good show- ing in all their meets. With practice beginning in late February at school and on two city courses, the members displayed their good form throughout the season. Competition among the team members deter- mined individual places on the team, and with Chief,' Taylor as coach, the team as a whole de- veloped the necessary finesse to attain a higher rating in the state. Ram linksmen strived to gain experience on var- ious courses by traveling throughout the state. As each member participated in these tournaments, he not only tried to reach a lower individual score but also to lower the over-all team score. Big-8 competition was scheduled for early May with Jackson being well-represented with five schools. Y.,- Y tk ,f'. mfr N, GOLF TEAM. Bottom Row: Jimmy Gallagher, Edwin Cheshire, Ronnie Loggans.

After this triumph, the Provine base- ballers went on to defeat Wingfield, a strong con- tender for the championship, in a pair of games 7-2 and 5--1. The Rams finished their regular season play with an 8-2 record in city play and a 19-2 slate in district action.

For the Provine High School tennis team, 1967 proved to be a rewarding year, bringing numer- ous honors both to the school and to individual team members. Robert Holcomb, in his first year as coach, managed the eleven-member team of Ram racqueteers. Late in February practice was started in preparation for the District VI Tourna- ment, held later in the spring. Buddy Miles brought honors to Provine by capturing the State Boys' Singles' crown while Bobby Wren and Harry Grimm carried off the State Boys' Doubles' cham- pionship. Returning lettermen Buddy Miles, Janis Guynes, and Susan McMullin demonstrated their proficiency with the ball and raquet as they helped lead Provine to the third overall award during state competi- tion, held at ,lackson's Battlefield Park. The Tennis Patrons of Jackson gave special recognition to Provine by sending junior Buddy Miles on a nationwide tour with the National Tennis Circuit. Miles visited the states of Alabama, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Michigan to battle with top netters of there states.
