Unbeaten Eagles Play
Clarkston Friday Night
The unbeaten Griffin Eagles,
who have surprised a few peo
ple by winning their first three
games, go after win number
four Friday night when they tan
gle with Clarkston in DeK a1 b
County.
Coch Joe Burson’s Griffin girls
are trying to keep a two-g a m e
win streak alive. After losing 48-
19 to Milner in the opener, the
girls bounced back with victor
ies over Walker and Southwest
DeKalb.
Although the Eagles returned
three straters from a year ago,
some observers felt they would
have some trouble winning be
cause of a lack of scoring abil
ity.
However, Coach John Harris
turned his attention to defen
se, rebounding and good ball
handling. The special emphas
is on those phases of the game
paid off.
The Eagles have out-rebound
ed all opponents, and their de
fense has been exceptional ex
cept in spots.
Griffin has held three oppon
ents to an average of 39.3 points
per game, which is very low in

"CLOTHING OF CHARACTER"
, this day of high scoring basket
• ball machines.
‘ The Eagles have averaged
' 51.3 points per game, which is
12 better than their opposition.
' Coach Harris’ eagers opened
the 1968-69 season with a shaky
44-42 win over Milner. They
followed up with a 55-27 victory
over Walker and a 55-49 win over
Southwest DeKalb.
The Griffin coach feels the Ea
gles now have a fair chance of
going into the Flint River Tour
nament as an unbeaten team.
In order to meet that goal,
the Eagles must stop Clarkston,
Jonesboro and R. E. Lee.
“Our shooting is coming ar
ound,” Coach Harris said thl s
morning. “It was better against
Southwest DeKalb than it was in
the first two games and it has
been pretty good in practice this
week.”
Coach Harris considers Clark
ston “a better shooting team
than any we’ve played.”
"I understand they averaged
about 45 to 50 percent accuracy
in a couple of games. They aren’t
too big. They like to run and
shoot,” the Griffin coach said.

This is the kind of board control Coach John Harris
hopes to get from his Eagles Friday at Clarkston.
Logan Smith (1), Harry Murphy (c) and Douglas
Pack (r) go high to control a rebound against South
west DeKalb.
Tiie contest may boil down to<
Griffin’s defense vs. Clarkston
offense.
The Angoras arc 2-0 In region
play.
Coach Harris doesn’t plan any i
lineup changes for the Clarkston !
game. He will go with Harry
Murphy and Douglas Pack at
forward, Logan Smith at center,
and Robert Anderson and John
Milner at guard. Greg Vaughn
will be tiie number one reserve.
Coach Burson girls were hu
miliated in their opener but re
bounding witli lopsided wins over
Walker and Southwest DeKalb.
Griffin and its three oponents
are even as far as averages are
concerned. Griffin has scored 97
points. So has its three oppon
ents.
