Although the Shaker basketball team had strong competition, they proved themselves capable of standing up to any foe. The shaker basketball team, coached by Frank Lewis and led by co-captains Doug Branson and Jim Montgomery, compiled an overall record of 16-2 for the season. The co-captains along with the rest of the team members jumped into the season with high hopes of be¬ coming the District 6 Champions. With high aims and a lot of rough, hard work the boys of the Shaker basketball team made their goal. LEFT: Shakers warm up for their second-half performance.

Worthy again showed their ability to participate in athletics. They began their season with a new coach and many new girls. But as time went by, all combined their efforts to make a basketball team which their opponents knew would be hard to beat. The J.V. and Varsity teams were picked from a group of about 50 girls. The J.V.’s, although they were an inexperienced team, came out with a record that could well develop into an undefeated team next year. Girls Showed Enthusiasm in Basketball Junior Varsity: R. Minton, G. Ward, B. Snodgrass, M. Frye, C. Puckett, C. Colley, J. Kelley, Y. Shoals, S. Gross, P. Delp, F. Gollins, and C. Evelyn Minton guards a Chilhowie player as Ginger Poston.
