Georgia Cage Warning:
BHS Team Is 'Better'
By Mickey Logue in The Atlanta Constitution
Coach Wallace (Country) Childs’ Blackshear High
defending State Class A basketball champions aren’t as
good as last year — they’re better.
And if that isn’t enough to
dampen the holiday spirit of
cage coaches throughout South
Georgia (and North), they’re also
the best-balanced bunch Childs
ever had at Blackshear.
These aren’t the words of 12
consecutive teams who fell be
fore the Blackshears in pre-
Christmas play. They are straight
from the builder of champions
himself.
And champion-builder Childs
is. Country, whose teams have
won 276 and lost only 27 in 10
years of coaching at Irwinville
and Blackshear, took a Georgia C
title at Irwinville in 1947, two B
crowns there in lcso and 1951,
and the A diadem here in 1955.
Only the State AA champion
ship eludes Childs, and he hasn’t
played in that league yet.
“We’ll get beat some,” he said
at his home Monday afternoon.
“But this team is better right
now than our ball club was at
any time during last season.
They’re better balanced. You
can’t double team any of them—
the rest of ’em will wear you
out.”
The five starters’ point average
bear Childs out well. Four are
hitting in double digits and the
other is firing 9.6 per outing.
Guard Benny James (6 feet
tall) and forward Donald Bowen
(6-1), who were all-state selec
tions in the ’55 state tournament,
lead Blackshear’s point-making.
James is connecting at a 17.10-
point-a-game clip and Bowen is
averaging 14.5.
“There’s nothing flashy about
James,” Childs said, “he just goes
ahead and does the job. He’ll do
it all. Benny’s a good outside and
jump shooter and can really
drive.”
Stephen Bowen (6-1), Donald’s
cousin, has a 13.6 output and is
considered by Childs “potential
ly a great baseball player.”
“He used to be a little timid
out there, but he isn’t any more,”
the coach added with emphasis.
Thomas Gill, a 5-10 guard who
was No. 6 man last season, is one
of the finest shots on the team.
He is firing at a 11.5 clip. Ferrell
Dixon (6-3), whose cousin Jackie
manned the slot a year ago, is
a 9.6 producer at center.
The Bowens and James were
all 1955 starters.
Subs who are in for consider
able action are center William
Callahan, forwards Jimmy Wal
ker and Wendell Strickland and
guards Ross Knowlton and Ben

Blackshear opens in the Savan
nah Invitational tournament Wed
nesday against Hinesville, and a
win probably would send the
Childsmen against the best AA
material in Georgia, according to
Childs, Savannah High School.
“Savannah has the brute
strength to win the State cham
pionship,’’ Childs said.
Experience records show a
high frequency of accidents at
those intersections which are con
trolled by “Stop” signs where
the character of the traffic flow
on the heavier route is such that
drivers on the lesser route deve
lop a disregard of the “Stop”
sign. This condition occurs when
there are long gaps in the traffic
flow on the heavier road tending
to make a full stop seem ridicu
lous, yet the laws require that
all vehicles stop before entering
that intersection.
Denis C. DeLoach, Extension
Service specialist, reminds farm
ers that it is very important to
provide early winter pasture for
lambs —a minimum of 20 acres
for each 100 ewes.
