Redskin Season
To Open Friday
Friday, November 14th, will
mark the big day for the open
ing of the 1969-70 basketball
season when the “Redskins”
take on the “Portal Panthers”
at 7 p.m. at the local gym.
Coach Felts, new as Chief
of the Redskins, will have
many new members on his
squads as graduation hit hard
last year. The boys will have
only two men who logged any
considerable amount of play
ing time. Douglas DeLoach and
Danny Bragg. Coach Felts
has been unable tq determine
just who will start, but has a
group of newcomers who have
been battling for the starting
positions. They are William
Lane, Glynn Miles, Hoynes
Bacon, Danny Barnard, Ther
on Roberson, James Murchin
son, Herbert , Warnell and
Buddy Miller. The balance
of the squad shows Henry
Murchinson, Ray Bazemore,
Kevin Duggar, Randy Ussery,
and George Lanier. The girls
have their one-two scoring
punch back. They are Betty
Hughes and Linda William
son, but again the defense will
be a question mark as only
Debbie Raulerson has any ex
perience at that en d of the
floor. New comers who are
battling for starting positions
are Charlene Futch, Phyllis
Odum as forwards and Diane
Smith, Pam Cowart, Debbie
Douglas, and Sheryl Roberts
as guards. The remainder of
the squad consists of Patti
Page, Vicki Hagin, Ferra I>ane,
Becky Lane, Flo Bacon, Janice
Butler and Debbie Roberts.
Both squads are expected to
progress as they gain exper
ience and should round into
top form by tournament time.
The teams have been prac
ticing since September and are
in good shape physically.
The game will be a good
one as year in and out the
Portal teams are one of the
best, and the word out of
Bulloch is that the boys are
loaded. Much consolidation
has greatly increased the size
of the school. A “B" team
will preced the Varsity action
which will start at 7 p.m. The
price will remain 50c and 75c.
