Woodsboro, Shallowaler l After Trying 19 Years Shallowaier Finally Reaches Slate M LUBBOCK. March 1 UPL- Shallowater High School's has- ket ball team left Tuesday for Austin to play in the state tour- nament-and made history by doing so. The team won the regional championship in Class B, the first Shallowater quintet ever to quality for the big tourna- ment although basket ball has been on the schedule since 1930 when the school was erected. This year's 'Vlustang quintet is one of thc s ost powerful in Class B circles. It won 42 games throughout the regular season while dropping only four. These defeats came at the hands of Stratford, perennial North Plains Class B power, Dlmmitt, another powerhouse, and two from Roosevelt. O O 0 IN THE CLASS B regional tournament here, Shallowater played and won four games.

Earlier in the season the Mus- tangs hung a pair of deleats on Lubbock High School, which is representing Districts l-AA and 2-AA at the state champion- ships Charlie Booz, coach of the Mustangs, has been at the helm two years now and has seen the Ponies come close once. In fact, Shallowater qulntets have been to the regional toumsment the st five years. Booz says thatlllthey hsdn't como through this year, he would have dug s hole, climbed ln lt and pulled the cover over his head. O O C l'l S 'A WILL-balanced squad, with speed, a fast-break, good passingg an a player by the name of Darrell Murphy who has most of the college coaches drooling. A fine broth of an Irish lad is Murphy. He's been a pretty fair help to Booz and the Mus- tangs. In the 39 games in which he has appeared, Murphy has scored 822 points. That breaks down to an average ot 21.07 points per game. He has snared 307 field goals for the season and has pitched in 208 chasdty tosses. Not bad for a kid play- ing! his second year of varsity a . During the two-day Class B tournament at Texas Tech, Mus phy was a little more than luke- warm. He started slowly with 21 points against Roaring Springs-and dldn't play a lull game. l-le scored 25 points against Ropesville and watched the last period from the bench. Fall in Class B Games Big Sandy and Slidell moved into' the Class B semi finals Thursday morning with victories in the open- ing round ol the state high school basketball tournament. The short but slick Wildcats from Livingston detealcd a scrappy Woodsboro teamQ -17-34, while Sli- dell threw up a zone defense which checked highly-rated Shallowater from West Texas, 32-26. Big Sandy held a shaky 35-32 lead with three minutes left ss tall Lewis Gilcrease led a late surge which pulled the Eagles up close. But Big Sandy put on a strong llnlsh to wln going away. Shallowater had to shoot from far out for g good deal of its points as Slidell checked most efforts to move in close by the Mustangs, who held a height advantage. Derrell Murphey, star Shallowater center, left the game with 3:30 remaining and the Ponies failed L0 score another point after his de- purture.
