Bucky and Robert take a breather at the half of a close game. Although it is a rough game, the boys always have a sense of humor. Mitchell faces a block as he goes up for a lay-up. The opponents attempt- ed to block one of Melvin's jump shots. Melvin tries hard for two points as he at- tempts to make a jump shot. The boys team has really tried hard this year. Each and every one of the players helped the team in some way. Sometimes the bench-warmers” are forgotten about, but it is these boys who give the spirit and pep to the starters. Bobby Green shows his poise as he shoots his high scoring jump shot. Jim Bowden 27

ROBERT BRUNE THE BIG FIVE EARL HALLEY Senior forward: Earl, a four year letterman and three year starter, showed his teamwork ability. Senior guard: Robert, a two year letterman, helped the team very much with his out- side shooting ability. MITCHELL CALVIN Junior guard: Mitchell's added experience as being the only junior starter will be a great asset to the team next year. BUCKY SMITH Senior forward: Bucky with his great height, along with his two years of being a starter, proved to be a leading rebounder. Ashland’s ’’Big Five” and teammates areto be commended on their fine athletic ability this year. They not only had a 24-7 record but also ended in the conference race by tying with Harrisburg and Hallsville for first place. The year ”66” has been good to Ashland as the boys took second in the Regional Tournament. MELVIN LEWIS Senior forward: We owe much to Melvin this year because of his ability to score under the basket which helped lead the team to victory.
