B. Worthy has participated in golf. Compared to the other teams in the district our team is still young, but al¬ ready the team has won a Champion¬ ship; and in the 1965 season the team finished third in the Southwest District Tournament held in Saltville. Aided by Coach McCoy, a great golfer himself, and sparked by the playing of Morgan and McCready, the golf team had a successful season against the larger schools of Bristol, Marion, Tazewell, Graham, Richlands, Chilhowie, and Abingdon. The team is looking forward to competition in District 6 next year. ABOVE LEFT: Nicki Smith and Nim Morgan work to improve their tee shots.
