Three years have gone by
since the Winder-Barrow Bull
dogs last were a real basket
ball power True, last year's
team finished tenth in the state,
and diis year's team Is still
in die running, but the last
time the Bulldogs had a high
ranking team was 1963-64. The
future holds many high hopes
for the Winder-Barrow bas
ketball fortunes, and the high
hopes stand tall In the unde
feated boy’s “B” team.
This team of freshmen and
sophomores went through a ten
game schedule, and emerged
with ten victories and no losses
to their credit. Each game they
played had a new individual
star.
The season started with A1
Jackson and David Ridgeway in
key roles with the team, but
these two boys graduated quick
ly to the varsity. The remaining
Players took up the slack, and
the two talented starters were
hardly missed,
Sammy Hunter, Mike Walden,
and Ronnie Shepley formed the
nucleus for the hot young team,
with Ronnie Magness and Larry
Sauls rounding out the starting
five.
With Jackson and Ridgeway
playing with them, this team
once beat the W-BHS varsity
in scrimmage. Coach Jimmy
Griffeth said, however, that
the varsity won the rest con
vincingly.
AI Jackson was cited for turn
ing in the best individual per
formance for the season with a
28 point output against Monroe
in Monroe. Most of die other
players came close to equaling
this performance during the
season.
Coach Griffeth said that the
most exciting moment during
the season came during the first
half of the final game against
South Hall, Ho said that, in his
opinion, the boys played their
best basketball of the year dur
ing this half. The second gome
with Mpnroe was named as the
best game of theyoar In over
all team performance.
Tho starting five were not
the only ones who had a hand in
die fine season, Johnny Gil-
strap, 6' 3” freshman, Roland
Shepley, and Kerry Kilgore pro
ved liint they could become star-
tors with their fine back up play
in several crucial games.
Buddy Loach, Bill Clayton,
M. J. Eve ret to, Johnny Ever
ett, Gary Hall, OJin Wilson,
and Eddie Mitchell also had
their hand in the Bullpups suc
cess diis year.
Tho team averaged scoring
56.5 points per game this sea
son while thoir opponents av
eraged 45.3.
Winder-Barrow dofeated the
“B” teams from South Kail
and Gainesville in die region
play this year. Forsyth Coun
ty was weak in the '-B” team
department. Little is known
about Newton County’s “B”
team. The Bullpups proved
themselves hotter than threo of
die four other schools in die re
gion.
Coach Jimmy Griffeth ex
pressed his Uianks to Coach
Jimmy Jett for his holp and
cooperation with the “B T, team
this season.
