Basketball Team The Spartanburg basketball squad completed a successful 1950-51 season by winning twelve contests and dropping six engagements in regular competition. The Tomcats lost a hard fought two point decision to Union City in the sectional tournament. Coach Grubb is to be complimented on the fine record his team amassed. A graduate of Franklin College, Mr. Grubb is experiencing his first year as teacher and athletic director. Our sincere thanks go to our peppy cheerleaders, Barb, Etta, and Linda, for their undying enthusiasm in leading yells throughout the basketball season! Individual scoring of the Tomcats is listed below: NAME GAMES TOTAL POINTS - AVERAGE Stuc key 18 264 14 . 7 Snell 18 238 13. 2 Robbins 16 182 11.4 Green 12 45 3.8 Mason 18 44 2.4 Wise 18 34 1.9 Alexander 15 19 1. 3 Morehous 1 1 7 .6 Hyre 8 5 .6 Track Team For the past four years, Mr. We1ge's track team has been very outstanding in Randolph County track circles. The climax of track competition was reached in the county meet of 1950, when the Spartanburg thinly-clads emerged with a thrill- ing victory. The 46 points amassed by the purple and gold were l 1fZ greater than second place Ridgeville claimed. The victory was even more impressive because of the absence of MarDel Robbins, Ernie Mason, and David Mann from active participation. The record book discloses that during the season from 1948 to 1950 inclusive, the Welgemen have compiled a record of twelve victories against five defeats. In 1949, the squad from Greensfork Township placed second in the Randolph County meet. Blessed with an ample number of returning lettermen, Coach Welge is antici- pating another successful season. Hats off to Mr. Welge and the thinly-clads from Spartanburg. Baseball Nine The Spartanburg baseball team, behind the tricky southpaw slants of Leon Wise and the strong right arm of Jim Green, enjoyed a successful season under the guidance of Coach Ernie Grubb.
