News-Review December 16, 1971 THE I NEWS-REVIEW SPORTS £1 TALK \SL Henri Freeman W ' AN EFFECTIVE FIVE: BONNER’S WISH AT LANEY Norman Bonner at Lucy Laney is still trying hard to mold an effective basketball unit. His team has not been too impressive in early season games, but he is determined to finally put together the right combination and come up with a winning season. Laney is not blessed this season with a lot of height, and at this stage the shooting effectiveness has not been pleasing to Bonner. Naturally he must develop greater adeptness in ball-handling among his players as well as better shooting from the outside. This they have not been doing often enough. AREA TEAMS AVOID JOSEY - WHY? For a number of years Jim Roundtree at T.W. Josey High School has had strong basketball teamsSeveralof his playershave gone on to play in college ranks far and near, and have done well. Since Josey dropped out of Region IV AAA, the basketball teams have not been in the spotlight as they had been in previous years. Seemingly this is not a mere coincident. It appears to be a determined effort by several high schools to avoid the Josey basketball teams. Not only is this true of schools outside the Richmond County area but in the Josey region; it is true of local schools, not all of them, though. Roundtree has had difficulty in scheduling games for his team this season. Coaches approached responded by saying that they have no open dates. Os course this seems to be the case every year now. No justifiable reasons are given by the approached teams for refusing to play the Josey team. If any team comes up with a “superior” record without having played comparable teams in their own “backyard”, the record could only be a hollow record. Surely any team should like to know how good it is by playing reputable representatives of the hardwood sport. LIONS DON’T FIGHT WELL WOUNDED; FALL TO A&M If the Paine Lions were not “wounded” before their encounter with the Florida A&M Rattlers Monday night, they played like they were during the game. Coach Ernest Tolbert’s eagers couldn’t do anything right as they were overwhelmed 125-95 by the Floridians. “Togetherness” just was Paine’s thing as they absorbed their fifth loss of the young season. Their passing was erratic throughout the game, and their ability to control the boards, especially the offensive boards, was something to be desired. Although the visitors played a much better brand of basketball than they played on a previous visit to Augusta, this writer is forced to disagree with the Lions’ coach who is reported to have said thatA&M is one of the best teams in the country. They were impressive but not that impressive. Inexperience seemed to have been one of their fortes also. Maybe tonight, when Edward Waters comes to town, the Lions will have licked their wounds and get back on their winning ways. All but Johnny Nims will probably see service. His ailing “paw” will not have healed by game time tonight. VALDOSTA HAD IT, AND HOW! Coach David Dupree and his Lucy Laney Wildcats football team should not be feeling like the “lone ranger” because the gridiron humiliation at the hands of powerful Valdosta High a few weeks ago. The South Georgia powerhouse pasted Avondale recently 62-12 to win the Georgia AAA crown. It is no secret now that Wright Bazemore has the best high school team in the state. And if somebody doesn’t come up with a stopper for the Cats, it will have to be felt that the coaching personnel at Valdosta is the best in the state. Surely good football players are not just peculiar to Valdosta only, especially year after year.

VOTERS LEAGUE Cont’d from page 1 Georgia citizens in their own evaluation of the plan.” The Georgia League has taken a stand in support of the plan, said Mrs. Worthey, and is particularly interested in the Departments of Human Resources and Natural Resources. The League has reached its position through its years of study and consensus in the area of constitutional revision, much of which dealt with the executive branch of state government. The leaflet shows two charts: one of the present structure of budgeted state agencies, and one of the proposed new structure. A second and more detailed brochure will be distributed in the near future. Mrs. Worthey stated that interested citizens may pick up the leaflet at banks, savings institutions and other establishments in Richmond County which normally handle League publications. The leaflet will also be distributed in Columbia County.
