Playing an active role in Tunstall’s athletic program were the Trojanettes. Through brilliant maneuver of blocking, guarding, passing, dribbling, and shooting gained from hours of earnest practice, our girls’ basketball team won several games. Capturing the honor of high scorer for the Trojanettes was Phyllis Bowling, a junior and co-captain of the team. She also racked up the highest percentage of free throws during the season. Junior Nancye Blair ranked second in total points scored during the season. The first string players on the team were guards: Cindy Stowe, Janice Nowlin, and Alice Dodd; forwards: Nancye Blair, Phyllis Bowling, and Joyce Stegall. Of all the girls on the team only two were seniors, Janice Nowlin and Joyce Stegall. According to Coach Lurlene Robertson the girls played hard but she speculates a better team next year. 93 JO ANN HORTON CAUTIOUSLY guards the opposing forward. PHYLLIS BOWLING SHOOTS high for an easy two points.
