COMPLIMENTS of GRANTHAM ' S BOYS ' YOUNG MEN ' S SHOP SMITHFIELD, NORTH CAROLINA The 1957-58 Boys ' basketball team finished the season with a brilliant record of 29 victories and three defeats. But what gave this team the stomp of great- ness was its exciting string of victories in the State Class AA elimination gomes after a great disappoint- ment — its upset by Cleveland High School in the County Tournament. Smithfleld entered the State AA play-offs unher- alded. It had to win three gomes in a preliminary tournament at Trenton to gain a place in the District AA tournament. It had to win three gomes in the district tournament to qualify as an entry in the State Tournament at Durham. The Smithfleld team went to Durham, won easily in the first round, and finally met its conqueror in the semi-final round when it engaged the team that sub- sequently won the State AA championship — More- head. Reaching the semi-finals was a tremendous ac- complishment for the Smithfleld team, but the team gave o further display of greatness when ' it come back from the semi-final defeat and scored o conso- lation victory that gave the team the No. 3 ranking in the State AA Tournament.
