Gold “Tee” Shirts, Kelley green
pants, white shoes and socks,
topped by fancy gold and green
striped knee socks and gold knee
pads were worn by the quintet.
Long and tall, every inch basket
ball-wise and ready, here were
four boys taller than the Indians’
Fletcher, biggest of the Reds.
In this one, it was SHS at its
best ever. What they didn’t have
in height, they made up in spirit j
and hustle. At the first quarter,
Canton led 12-10; at the half
again Canton was on top 23 to
22, but it was not by passing up
the Summerville defense. Traffic
under the Canton basket was at [
a standstill and only from way
back were they able to fire.
Bush, on clever faking and quick
stops, had added it up on the
free throw lanes. Dacus had
stolen the ball to start an un
nerving process and Bobby Nix
had planted a long ringer, as
had Joe, to pull out the Canton
defense.
Going into the third period, it
was only 17 seconds before the
magnificient Cash went to work
and up went the Indian’s stock.
After two and a half minutes
again, the see-saw rocked to a
28-28 tie-up, then the balance
listed heavily as the best play of
any team of the tourney, began.
After five minutes in that 3rd
quarter, Summerville had found
the range. Bush started ring-

ing the bell, Cash and Fletcher
controlled both backboards, while
Nix and Dacus stole Canton’s
pass efforts and the conversions
mounted. At the period’s end,
the Indians led by 36 to 29 with
promise of more.
After two minutes in the 4th,
Summerville led 42 to 31. At
three minutes it was by 13 points
as Canton had rattled and was
missing in force. For three more
minutes it was a defensive freez
ing out until the potent Greenies
mustered again and came roar
ing back. Two quick field goals
and a free toss as the Indians
got careless, then with ninety
seconds left, one more goal ran
Canton’s total to the finish, leav
ing the Indians six points up and
winners again 50-44.
In this one. Cash again 21;
Fletcher 12; Bush 11; Nix 2; and
Dacus 4. Marvin Satterfield, one
of the state’s finest, rang up 22
for the highest of any SHS op
ponent.
Summerville 46. Valdosta 43
Valdosta’s Gold and Black Ti
gers, coasting into the finals
after victories over Newman 45
Ito 43, and Fulton’s Owls 58 to
43. went on a fast-breaking buck
et brigade in the finals that for
[ a few moments stunned and pet
rified the hopped-up, home
backing, and put the Indians 5
points down at the third quart
er’s end. Here the rebounding
and rebuilding job began, and
under close instructions as passed
on by “Pin” at each clock stop
ping. the real champions bound
ed back.
At the first quarter, Summer
ville led 10-8 with still two points
difference at the half. In the
third, the Tigers roared fast and
furious to a 34-29 lead and things
were dark.
In the fourth again, though, a
renewed battle waged and with
slightly over a minute, the score
board blazed out at 42-42 with
Cush’s cue to make his bid. Here
Sewell let go and on tow'ard his
regular 21 of past games and
the Indians were lifted on top
to stay.
For Valdosta, this was the 3rd
time they had slipped in four
times as finalists while the
Indians carried off one try, one
[ crown, one State Championship.
For your records: Cash 21,
Bush 9; Fletcher 7; Nix 5; Dacus
4.
For Coach Garland Pinholster:
] 26 wins in 28 games.

REVIVAL SERVICES SUNDAY
A great revival series is to be
gin in 16 Chattooga County Bap

Pastors Association decided to
use the same idea again.
Association leaders said the
number of baptisms soared to a
new high last year, and that
present indications are that this
! year’s crusade will even exceed
that of 1949.
Services will be held at 7:30 p.
m. and most churches will have
visiting preachers in charge.
Some churches will conduct a
one week service while others
will continue for two weeks.
The pastors will have a “Fel
lowshop Breakfast” at the First
Baptist Church, Summerville,
each morning of the revival.
Leaders said an inspiritual pro-
Igram will be presented at each
of these meetings.
The following churches will
participate in the crusade: Chel

ly, Calvary, Menlo, New Hope,
North, Pleasant Groves, Peren
