“C.C.T.S. Places Man On All-State Team: In the state high school tournament, held at the State Teachers College, Montgomery, Ala. March 15-16, the Conecuh County Training School team held the state champions of State Teachers College High School to the closest score of the tournament, 38-32.
“CCTS, receiving the toughest break of the tournament by drawing the mighty State Teachers College High School team, held the 1,900 students and fans in suspense as they led at the end of the first quarter, 8-6, and trailed at the half by a narrow score of 21-19. In the closing minutes of the game, the reserve strength of the boys from the college high school team enabled them to slip in front of the final whistle by three baskets.
“The tournament coaches selected Calvin Johnson, Conecuh County Training School’s center, on the all-state team. The boys who have put CCTS in the limelight in basketball throughout the state of Alabama are Calvin Johnson, George Armstrong, Clausell Laster, Milton Mixon, Benjamin Lindsey, Ray McDuffie, Oscar McWilliams, James A. Stallworth and Earnest Abrams.
“All state team: L. Hall, F, State Teachers College High School; H. McCants, F, Gadsden High School; C. Johnson, C, Conecuh County; C. Jones, G, State Teachers College High School; A. Robinson, G, Tuskegee Institute High School.”
