Goodroe Nabs Westfield
“Booster Os The Year ”
By Joe Hiett
An enthusiastic crowd was
on hand last Friday night at
the Second Annual Westfield
Honors Banquet. The
banquet, held to honor
academic and athletic ex
cellence by Westfield
students, was highlighted by
the selection of Joe Goodroe
as Westfield Booster of the
Year. Butch Clifton,
assistant head basketball
coach at Georgia Tech, was
featured speaker.
Clifton is remembered in
Middle Georgia as a former
basketball coach at Mark
Smith High in Macon. His
last year as coach at Mark
Smith, Clifton coached his
team to the State AAA
basketball crown. Clifton is
a native of Albany and
graduated with letters in
football, baseball and
basketball. Matriculating at
Mercer University, Butch
lettered all 4 years in
basketball. Clifton has been
Assistant Head Basketball
Coach and Director of
Hornets Winding Up
Spring Grid Practice
The 1972 Westfield Hornets
football team is winding up
its third and final week of
spring practice this week,
trying to prepare themselves
for this fall’s grid wars. New
head football coach Marvin
Arrington, late of Telfair
County High, had a chance to
observe his team and came
away cautiously optimistic.
Arrington later last week
attended the Westfield
Honors Banquet.
“I was somewhat sur
prised, to tell you the truth,”
Coach Arrington remarked
at the banquet. Asked about
a bruise on his forehand, the
young coach admitted, ‘‘the
boys gave it to me in
practice.” So Arrington got
right into the midst of
practice on his first day.
Westfield’s new mentor
said,“These fellows are
really enthusiastic, and we
have some real football
talent out here. We’ll be
pretty good for a first year
team.”
The Hornets have a real
plus in assistant coach Mike
Grantham. Grantham is a
physician in Fort Valley and

Butch Clifton
In Clifton’s address, he
outlined the things a college
material basketball player
should possess. They in
clude: quickness, good
shooting ability, attitude,
will be able to treat any
injuries suffered by the
Hornets. "Dr. Mike” is also
a very knowledgeable line
coach.
The Hornets sustained a
serious blow to their winn
ing hopes when quarterback
candidate Mark Ethridge
suffered a serious knee in
jury. Mark may not be able
to play any football next fall
for Westfield if the tender
knee fails to respond to
treatment.
Shining in the contact
drills have been linebacker
Ted Bell, center Donnie
Fountain, punter Jepp
Liiphert, back Walter Gray,
and several others. Bell is a
511” 165 junior to be who
played at Warner Robins last
year. His experience should
come in handy next fall.
Liiphert has boomed several
punts upwards of 45 yards in
practice and should be a real
threat.
The Hornets schedule is
being made up now and will
be shown in next week's
Home Journal if it has been
completed.

good ballhandling,
basketball savvy, jumping
ability, leadership, and
unselfishness. On top of
these, to play at Tech, a boy
must have excellent grades.
The highlight of Clifton’s
speech was his description of
a 94x50x40 attitude. Ex
plaining, Butch stated that a
basketball court is 94 feet
long, 50 feet wide, and a
college game is 40 minutes
long. So a 94x50x40 attitude
involves 100 percent effort
all over the court for the
entire game.
Following Clifton's ad
dress awards were given. In
the athletic realm, letters
were given to the tennis
team, golf team, baseball
team, girls and boys B-Team
basketball players and the B-
Team cheerleaders.
Selected as the outstanding
varsity cheerleader for 1971-
72 was Becky Morris.
Following this presentation,
Coach Earl Marshall
awarded letters to the 1971-72
Girls Varsity Basketball
Team. Marshall also
recognized five players on
team, beginning with Karen
Aydlett who scored the first
varsity point in the Hornets
Nest. Senior Pattie Peyton
was named top Offen
sive player, Wanda Bragg
was named top Defensive
player, and Sandy Hudson
was named 1971-72 Hornette

On April 29th and 30th of this year an unusual
and unique contest was held for the second time at
Lake Seminole, Georgia. The contest was spon
sored by Jack Wingate Fishing Lodge and con
sisted of a two-day tournament in which archers
shot carp with bows and arrows while the rough
fish were in the shallows spawning. The two main
categories were the most carp bagged by any
archer and the largest carp bagged by an archer.
This contest has proven very beneficial as well as
successful in that it is one of the best ways known
for taking e good number of rough fish out of a
pond. The carp go into the shallow water during
the spawning periods and the archers move very
quietly around the edge of the ponds and take the
fish at 15 to 20 yards.
Georgia Game and Fish Commission has
established a minimum size fish limit for any fish
caught in the State waters and to take a fish
smaller than the limit set would be a violation of
the law. The minimum size for large mouth bass is
12 inches and the 12 inch limit also extends to
small mouth bass and coosa bass. The minimum
size for a trout differs as to the waters fished, for
example, 22 inches is the minimum on Waters
creek, 10 inches on the Chattahoochee between
Buford Dam and Old Jones Bridge and 10 inches
for brown and rainbow trout and 7 inches for
brook trout on the Tallulah River. The minimum
on striped bass is 15 inches throughout the State. If
you plan to trout fish any of the management
areas or any of the other streams of Georgia, be
sure and determine the minimum size prior to
sticking the fish in your creel.
You may have heard many times that Georgia
doesn’t have any trout streams of any con
sequence, however, Waters Creek up the Chat
tahoochee Management Area is being operated as
Georgia’s first trophy stream and on opening
weekend a five pound 11 ounce, 24 inch brown
trout was taken and four other trout ranging from
22 to23V£ inches and from 31b. 14 oz. to 4 lb. 12 oz.
were taken. Additionally, 28 trout, 18 inches or
over, were caught and released as they did not
qualify under the minimum size regulation of 22
inches.
Additional restrictions to the trophy stream
include that only artificial lures with a single
barbless hook may be used and the creel limit is
one trout over 22 inches long per day per fisher
man. Waters Creek will be open on Saturdays and
Sundays during the months of May, June, July
and August and September 1,2, 3.
Summer is the best time of the year for you to
get out the old fishing pole, can of worms and wet
a hook. If you have a son or daughter, be sure to
take them and you will enjoy their fishing more
than your own.
GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FISHING!
Most Valuable Player. Also
recognized was Wendy Jones
for her contributions to the

themselves.
Westfield Headmaster Jim
Worrall then presided over
the Academic Awards.

tation was the recognition of
Melinda Poole for her 2nd
place finish in the State
SEAIS Essay Contest, and
Marian Pruitt’s naming as
Best actress in the SEAIS
Region North One Act-Play
Competition.
The Climax of the evening
came with the presentation
of the Westfield Booster of
the Year Award. As Chip
Washington put it, “Well
done is better than Well
Said.” He then named Joe
Goodroe as the recipient.
Goodroe spent many hours
helping to construct the
“Hornets Nest”, Westfield’s
new gymnasium. He has put
in long untiring efforts in
behalf of the Westfield
Schools.
