date has a 16-4 overall record,
while Coach Bayward McManus’
boys post a 16-4 overall record.
In Region 4 AAA competition the
girls stand 10-2 and the boys 9-3.
Under the leadership of the

themselves as the season pro
gresses. The girls’ team has only
two seniors of the fourteen mem
bers and seems to improve with
each outing. Claudia Whaley
boasts an average of 19 points
per game with Junior Delores
Owen running close with 17
points per game. Playmakers
Brenda Fielder and Cheryl Ca
sey round out the forward corps
of the team. Trisha Maddox
leads the defensive group, with
Vernice Masoner and Betty Jean
Hogue doing a fine job. Mar
garet Kirbb, Sophomore, has
proven invaluable as the fourth
guard.
Coach McManus’ boys are
burning the baskets with Ted
Samples, Senior, hitting a 9.1
average and being reinforced by
riflemen Jimmy and Terry Mc-
Lendon with a 16.2 and a 22.8
average respectively. Terry is
currently leading Region 4 AAA
with his average.
These three 6-plus footers are
bolstered by Ronnie Ruleman,
Wayne “Chico” Beck and Bobby
Wiggins. The bench makes fu
ture aspirations a little brighter
with 3 Juniors and 3 Sopho
mores. The boys have scored
1283 points while allowing oppo
nents only 1067, with a team av
erage of 64.1 opposed to a 53.2 for
the foes.
With but six games to play be
fore the region championship is
determined, the Cardinals are
moving into the home stretch
with flying colors. Student and
adult fans are following the
teams and giving tremendous
support. With only three of the
six games left to be played which
