Dreher with l0 lettermen defeated the Bearcats 63-29. The Bear- cats feeling the need for a victory, got revenge from Myers Park by defeating the Mustangs 44-43. The Bearcats playing with 3 seniors, 4 juniors, and 3 sophomores got the desire to win and captured 4 more victories after defeating Myers Park. Next the Bearcats ran into a fast, good shooting Parker team who walloped them by a 75-39 score. This loss brought the Rock Hill team to a 5-3 record. The Bear- cats meta weak Camden team and jumped back into the winning column. Then a rival game with Lancaster saw Rock Hill score its high mark of the year with 82 and win number 6. The toughest part of the schedule was now to come-the long awaited game with Spartanburg. The Bearcats had beaten Spartanburg only once in 8 years and at no time within the last four years. The Bearcats would not forget the licking they took last year and were determined to win. The Bearcats out- shot and outhustled the Red Birds and won by a 58-53 margin. This was a moral victory for the Bear- cats. This was a shot in the arm. The Bearcats after defeating Spartanburg, had only two days to rest before meeting undefeated Dreher. The tension was great before the game and the Bearcats were pawing for the Blue Devils. The game saw Dreher behind after five minutes, but they got hot and the score was tied at the end of the quarter. The Blue Devils kept hitting and they were ahead 32-30 at half. After intermission the Bearcats went on a rampage and were 5 points ahead at the end of the third quar- ter. Tommy Crump, Willie Stephenson, Tommy Vaughn, and George Lyons sparked an attack that was never overtaken. The out-rebounding of Don Dobbins was a key factor in the win. The Bearcats lost a mainstay in Wendell Stewart, however, Don Dobbins played like a veteran to add to the Bear- cats' needed strength on the backboard. Page One Hundred Forty-O e
