Henry County
Trounces Jackson
Twice Tuesday
Henry County’s basketball teams
made their court invasion of Jackson
doubly successful Tuesday night,
sweeping both ends of the twin bill
to ring up four successive victories
over Jackson during the current
hardwood season. The visiting giris
notched a 54-36 victory, followed by
their lads 64-50 thumping of the
Red Devils.
Jackson’s girls, playing their poor
est game of the season, could not
match goals with Jean Jeffares whose
37 points would have won the game
single-handedly.
The game was raggedly played and
poorly officiated by referees who did
not endear themselves to the crowd
with their half-hour late appearance.
Peggy McElheney had the range
from long distance but Henry Coun
ty’s excellent defensive play shut
the door on all close-in shots. Peggy
had 16 points, with Faye Mitchell
and Jean Dodson both getting 10
each. Jean got hers in the last two
quarters and showed shooting ability
that might earn her a starting posi
tion.
