Number One Ranked SSC
Tigerettes Claw Benedict
By Gus Howard
Unrattled by Benedict’s bad
showing of sportsmanship, the
Savannah State Tigerettes won
their 12th game in 15 decisions
by humiliating the Benedict
Tigerettes 55-22 in an
abbreviated contest.
The State Number 1 ranked
SSC Tigerettes had split two
earlier games with Benedict,
both in South Carolina, but
Coach Jim Westley knew that
his team was 30 points better
in a fairly called game. The 33
point matgin proved his point
and more.
Surrency’s Kathy Wilcox
bucketed SSC’s first basket,
Rosa Henegan countered for
Benedict, but Westley’s women
then reeled off 5 quick baskets
to grab a 14-2 lead. Benedict
called time to regroup, but
Bainbridge’s Diane Robinson
banked in two jumpers,
Swainboro’s Elaine Parrish
threw one in and Wilcox was
good on a three point play as
SSC coasted to a 27-6 lead.
Joy Holman gave the
out-manned Benedict players a
brief rally, hitting two jumpers,
but Brunswick's Harriet
Hillery, Savannah’s Faye Ware
and Effingham’s Deborah
Estell scored exciting baskets
to put the game out of reach.
So thrilling was one of Hillery’s
baskets that the jam packed
gym erupted with approval,
standing and applauding.
Behind these antics, SSC led
46-14 halftime.
The frustrated Benedict
team came out steaming in the
Harlem Cultural Council on the
Arts; MADEMOISELLE
MAGAZINE Award for
Outstanding Achievement;
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity;
Honorary Doctor of
Humanities from Wilberforce
University; LADIES HOME
JOURNAL Award, National
Book Award, and an honorary
degree from the University of
Maryland.
second half, and before you
knew it, they had cut the
margin to 46-20. Then
Robinson, Wilcox and Parrish
went into their bag of assorted
tricks, giving the home team a
55-22 lead.
While the SSC Tigerettes
were playing basketball, the
Benedict Tigerettes were
playing soccer, and Holman
was ejected for kicking Parrish
in a scramble for a loose ball. A
technical foul was assessed
against Margaret Howell for
using profanity, Parrish made
the free throw, and BC’s Gerry
Booker started the whole ugle
incident by attacking
Robinson Order was restored
by Westley and SSC officials,
but game officials Jolly Stevens
and Virginia Belson did wise
things in stopping the game as
Benedict did not want to
conduct themselves as
sportsminded athletes but
barroom brawlers.
Robinson led the Tigerettes
with 12 points and 11 rebounds,
and Parrish and Wilcox each
canned 11 points. Wilcox also
snatched 8 rebounds as SSC
outrebounded Benedict, now
6-4, 43-21.
Westley had vowed never to
return to South Carolina, and
Wednesday’s actions reaffimied
his position. Wednesday night's
actions were just uncalled for.
The Tigerettes met or will
meet Valdosta State in a
crucial GAIAW game Friday
night.
