Frank Macy drives for ogoinst Burlington. o lay-up shot during the Homecoming game Sweoringen and Waller fight for possession of o rebound as North Forsyth ' s Denny Key (45) looks on. Even before the groans, grunts end bone-jorring crunches of football fall silent, the Reynold ' s gym comes alive fo the sounds of basketball. As this has been the traditional custom for many years, happily 1965 proved to be no exception Sparked by co-captain and playmaker Jim Gilliam, the De- mons provided many exciting thrills during the season. Forward Jim Waller made the transition from catching footballs to grab- bing basketballs look easy, backing up Gilliam ' s 20 paint scor- ing average and becoming the team ' s leading rebounder. Clever backcourt ball handling by seniors Rick Hemrick and Cliff Pearce, aided by key buckets by Frank Macy, helped keep opposing defenses honest, Ralph Grubbs and Tom English shar- ed duties at center and proved that they too, could shoot w ith deadly accuracy. Nearly always playing against taller foes, the Demons were fighting all the way. Some of the out-standing games included clipping Salisbury on a last-second goal by Gilliam, bombing East and West Forsyth, clobbering Lexington 82-65, and swamp- ing High Point 60-42.
