Experience, talent, and a will to win gave the South basketball team one of the best seasons in the school’s history. With an eruption of school spirit accompanied by a great deal of skill, the boys scored victory after victory in the 1964- 65 season. Coach Dave Price led the Sabres to a fifth place finish in the conference, producing a team respected throughout the county. Unexpected but welcomed sur- prises, brothers Hubert, Herbert, and Harry Davis con- trolled the backboards throughout the season while Jim- my Myers and Johnny Robinson provided the scoring power for the Sabre team. The Sabres were aided considerably by the depth of the team. Coach Price is expecting even more ex- perience with the returning juniors and rising Jayvees next season. This experience together with teamwork and full cooperation the Sabres picked off many old time rivals leading to an 11-9 season and a berth in the Conference tournament. Coaches: Parker and Price.

South’s Harriers, led by Co-Captains Johnny Mayo and Jerold Burkes and sur prise junior star Terry Dona- von, made their way through the duals of the Western 4-A Conference ending with an overall record of 1-5. The Harriers, coached by Mr. Harold Lail, lacked depth and experience but hope for a more successful season next year. Donavon and Clement Wilson, the returning co- captains, will be the sparks igniting the flame for the Harrier’s aspiration to a conference title. Along with these participants, Mr. Lail is counting heavily on trans- fer George Blake, who finished 5th in the state tourna- ment, and on the rising sophomores who will add depth to next year’s squad.
