Perry quickly fell
behind 0-10 within the

game. They did not panic,
nor call a quick time out.
They finally dented the
scoreboard with a field
goal but Robins
proceeded to hit on two
more to take a 14-2 lead.
Perry began to cut into
the lead midway through
the period. They used two
points each from 5 dif
ferent players to trail
only by 6 at the end of the
initial period, 10-16.
Woodard and nobles led
a fantastic charge for
Perry that enabled the
Pantherettes to knot the
game at 29 by halftime.
Wallace, Watkins, and
Holmes each scored to
help Perry to the 19 point
period.
The two teams traded
bucket for bucket during
the third period and

Pantherettes moved out
to a 4 point lead early.
They continued to play
good offensively and
slowly increased their
lead. With only 1; 17 left.
Perry was sitting on a 9
point lead, 57-48
The situation was bleak
for Robins. But Perry had
scored their last point of
ths game. On the next two
possessions, Perry took
“bad shots’’ and lost the
rebound to the
Demonettes. Both turned

Perry slowly brought
the ball down and com
mitted a costly turnover.
It also turned into a 2
pointer by Robins.
Again Perry found
itself “snake bit’’. They
permitted the ball to be
stolen. This too ended up
in a Demonette basket.
Perry's lead had been
slimmed down to only 1,
with only seconds
remaining.
Robins was forced to

brought the ball up court.

worked. They kept the
ball from going inside.

outside shot. The odds
being against her, Robins

jumper to secure a
Warner Robins victory.
Recalling the game,
Coach James Kinchen
stated, “It was a hard
loss. We blew a big lead.
We had several op
portunities to put it away,
but didn’t. Even in
defeat, our girls learned a
great deal from the
game.”
Perry’s four game win
streak is snapped. They
are now 4-1 while Warner
Robins is 2-1.

Perry played a little
sluggishly in the second

Robins to cut into the
lead. They were able to

was as close as the
Demons would be the rest

Perry High School Athletic Director
The winter athletic
activities at Perry High
are well underway. The
Panther basketballers
are currently going great
and playing very exciting
basketball. The Panthers
have topped the hundred
mark twice and beat a
good Warner Robins
Demon team Saturday
night in Warner Robins.
The Pantherettes lost a
tough one-point game to
the Robins Demonettes,
but sport a fine 4-1
record. Both Perry High
coaches, Sweat and
Kinchen, have put good
roundball teams on the
floor. Coach Kenny
Moore is grooming the
Panther B-team for the
future. The young Cats
are 1-1 after the Demon
game.
Both varsity squads are
playing a great spectator
brand of basketball and it
would do you well to come
out and watch the ‘Cats in
action. Lonnie Boone and
crew are undefeated
after 5 games and appear
to be off to a great season.
Vicki Woodard is leading
the Pantherettes to early
season wins and
hopefully the girls can
continue to do well. The
people of Perry are ex
cited about the basketball
teams and have provided
a lot of support so far this
season. You have a good
opportunity this week to
see the Panthers and
Rettes in action at the
Perry High gym.
Tuesday night the
Greyhounds of Jones
County visits to attempt
to avenge an early loss to
our 'Cats, and Saturday
night the Eagles of
Northside bring in strong
teams to battle the
Panther squads. All
games begin at 7:00 for
the varsity contests, and
the gate admission is
$2.00.
The Panther wrestlers
have gotten off to a good
stnrt ns web Thp Tots
25 fourth period points.
Boone had 8 while
Langston had 7 in the
period.
Perry’s high powered
fast break was working in
a superb way. This was
the Demon’s downfall.
This is the weapon Perry
has used so well this year.
This coupled with the
pressing man to man
defense has Perry sitting
atop a 5-09 record.
Perry held a slight 2
rebound edge over the
Demons, 31-29, The
Panthers stole the ball on
13 occasions but also
were guilty of com
mitting 14 turnovers.
"If we are going to do
anything big,” said
Panther head coach
Melvin Sweat, "this is the
year we should do it. This
is a big veteran ball club.
It’s always a thrill to beat
a school that is bigger
than you,” Sweat con
tinued, "But we really
won’t be playing for the
bragging rights until the
end of the season.”

working hard to put
together a good team for
this wrestling season. We
appreciate Mr. Riner’s
work with the wrestlers
this year as he assists the
boys and Coach Shaw.
The Panther athletes and
Coaches would be lost
without Mr. Riner's help.
The Panther varsity
football players and
hopeful newcomers are
spending a lot of time in
the ‘Cat weight room this
winter. A lot of hard work
is underway and
hopefully a bigger,
stronger group of Pan

Westfield
Defeats
Stratford
The taste of victory was
sweet, and doubly so in
this case, as the Hornets
chalked up their first
season victory by
defeating arch rival
Stratford Academy of
Macon. Coach Hardy’s
promise that his boys
were going to come
around was evidenced
Friday night much to the
delight of the Hornets and
their fans.
From the moment their
feet touched the hard
court, there was a noted
difference in Westfield’s
game. They had begun to
click. Three quick field
goals by Cater Pierce
were answered by five
from the Eagles and the
Hornets trailed by four,
21-17 after the first
period. But an undaunted
Hornet team exhibited
fantastic defensive
tactics, holding the
Eagles to only baskets
and eight points from the
free throw line in the
second stanza. Led by
Junior Tommy Thomson
with eight, the hometown
boys upped their score by
sixteen. The battle was
on, as the two teams took
a halftime breather
deadlocked at 33-33.
The third quarter
proved as exciting as the
previous two, as both
teams fought tooth and
nail fora victory. The
quick hands of Senior
Tommy Miller and Junior
Cater Pierce aggravated
an Eagle team, while
Sophomore Brad
Beckham and Junior
Tommy Thomson showed
what it means to get up
and go as they
outrebounded the Eagles
and dominated the
boards.
A fourth quarter surge
by the Hornets depleted
the Eagles’ reserves.
Cater Pierce sank 7 for 9
freethrows and three
field goals to lead the
final Hornet assault. A
well-executed Hardy
press inevitably
exhausted the Stratford
boys and accounted for
numerous turnovers.
Outscoring the Eagles 22-
16, the Hornets walked
away winners, 69-65.
