Tournament Trail
BRYAN COUNTY - ... 38
TOOMBS CENTRAL - - 48
The 1968-69 basketball sea
son and tournament trail came
to an end in Claxton on Febru
ary 20, when the Redskin girls
came out on the short end of a
“very interesting” contest.
Bryan controlled the opening
tip, missed four shots and
Toombs Central gained control.
First points of the evening
were scored on two foul shots
and a fielder by Mary Johnson.
Betty Hughes hit the first fild
er for Bryan, while Johnson and
Glenda Clifton were hot for
Toombs. The Redskin forwards
worked well, but had a bit of
trouble hitting the nets, until
Betty hit for three more and
Linda Williamson one.
In the second quarter, both
teams couldn’t find the range,
and the first fielder came with
3:43 remaining when Linda Wil
liamson hit the first of three
for the stanza. Toombs hit their
first fielder with 28 seconds re
maining. During the second
quarter, Bryan narrowed the
gap by outscoring T.C., 8 to 3,
. and were down at halftime, 20-
. 18. The story of the game, how
• ever, could be seen in the first
I half; not a single foul was call
r ed against Toombs Central.
‘ The third quarter opened
: with Bryan controlling the tip,
and a foul was finally called
against T.C., Betty Hughes hit,
I and the margin was narrowed
• to one point. From here on, the
contest was close with neither
' team able to gain a command
! ing lead. However, Debbie Raul
erson picked up foul number 4,
■ and Carolyn Warnell did the
। same after the fourth quarter
was under way. The pattern
continued for the remainder of
, the final stanza, as Toombs
। Central marched to the foul line
। for 12 shots, converting 9 of
। them into a margin of victory.
When it was all over, the
। Bryan girls were out of the
. tournament, 48-38. The differ
ence was the foul situation, as
। 15 were called against Bryan,
5 against Toombs. Both teams
hit 17 from the field, Bryan 4
of 6 from the foul line, Toombs
Central 14 of 20. ’Nuf said!
If you were there, you saw
it; if not, you wouldn’t believe
it!
Mary Johnson led all scorers
with 33 points, 13 of them from
■ the foul line, while Betty
Hughes led the Bryan girls with
1 19, Linda Williamson had 15,
and Darlene Butler collected 4.
The girls played a good game,
giving all they had, but the ob
stacles were too much.
The season is now over for
the girls, a season of ups and
downs, a season of near-perfect
basketball games, and some that
were nearly the opposite. Over
all, the record stands at 11-12.
Congratulaitons to the girls
and Coach Van Brunt — we’re
proud of you!

Pembroke Mayor
Having A Busy
Work Schedule
Believe it or not, the Mayor
of the City of Pembroke is
having a hard time doing all
the things that he should do
for the City, attend the var
ious affairs we get invited to,
and looks as if we should be
there, talking to one hundred
and one people who want a
job, about that same number
that wants a house, or wants,
to buy a lot in Pembroke.
There are many papers that
only the Mayor and Clerk,
who is one of the best in the
state, Hon. J. Dixie Harn has
to sign, and many meetings
that it is only necessary for
these two to attend, it is these
two that have to sign all the
notes when we borrow money,
plus the thousand and one
little things that the Mayor
is called on to do.
Among them are: take down
the Christmas lights, which
are up at the time this is be
ing written. But we are deter
mined to have them down
“shortly”. Patch all the holes
in the side walks and streets
that has been left wi*h the
coming of Natural Gas. Try
to keep our Police Force active
and at the same ti not “too
active”, for whatever the
Mayor and Police does, about
half jf our people will bell
iache about it. If the garbage
man misses some of our peo
ple, (who pay nothing for this
service), they seem to think
that it is the Mayor’s job to
get out and if necessary haul
their garbage away, satisfy
all the women, and for the
past “nigh on to 50 years) we
have found it impossible to
keep one satisfied. Plus a
thousand and one other
troubles.
But we are not "belliaching”
about our job, we knew what
it meant when we ran the last
time, because being Mayor is
not anything new to us, after
nigh on to 24 years. We have
some extra good friends after
us every week, and at times
it is day after day, one of
them is a former Mayor who
takes us to ride about one or
another of our many short
comings, then we have a good
“lady friend”, who we are sure
never voted for us, unless it
was when we ran without op
position, she knows more
things that needs to be done
all over the city, and she is
one of the ones that has taken
us to ride about the Christmas
lights still being up, and a
hundred and one other com
plaints that she gets an “espec
ial delight” out of giving the
Mayor what “Patty gave the
drum.
But even with all the wor
ries, troubles and what not, we
are enjoying the job, and feel
that the year 1969 has been
the biggest year we have ever
had, and the end is not any
where near here. We asked
for the job, knowing just what
it took, got it, and hope to
serve until January 1970, and
then it will be up for “grabs”,
and perhaps someone will
“volunteer” for the job, and
do a better job than we have,
for at the age of 76, being a
poor man, we need all the
time we can have trying to
operate a “one horse weekly
newspaper” and come up with
enough "filthy lucre” to keep
body and breetches” together.
To say the least we are en
joying being Mayor today
more than we ever have, we
believe we have the finest
and most cooperative City
Council we have ever had, the
finest Clerk and Treasurer
that any City has ever had,
the finest Board of County
Commissioners that it has ever
been our pleasure to work
with, yes, the sun is shining
and it is going to be brighter
and better in Bryan than it
has ever been before.
