“School Board sued for hiring Coach Barfield: A lawsuit has been filed against the Conecuh County Board of Education for hiring former Auburn University head football coach Doug Barfield as head football coach and athletic director of the new Hillcrest High School.
“The suit, filed Friday in Federal District Court in Montgomery by Conecuh County High School head football coach Danny Covin, also seeks an injunction against the board to prevent spring football practice starting without him (Covin) as head coach.
“Covin claims that the Board of Education had entered into a consent agreement with him that, if the county’s high schools were consolidated, he would be named head football coach.”

“LOCAL GIRLS WIN WAY TO BIG TOURNEY: Aggie Lassies And Frisco City To Play At Montevallo Next Week: Coming through the district tournament unbeaten in the two games played, the Evergreen Aggies girls won the right last week to play in the state tourney at Montevallo March 7, 8 and 9. Together with the Frisco City team, which also came through unscathed, the Aggies will represent southwest Alabama in the state meet.
“Evergreen won its way to the state tourney by nosing out Bay Minette in the final game Saturday night at the armory, 21 to 18, after having previously subdued Camden, 34 to 17. Frisco City defeated Robertsdale and Excel.
“After Saturday morning’s play, three teams, Frisco City, Bay Minette and Evergreen were left in the tourney. As two teams were to represent the district, only one more game was necessary, and it fell to Evergreen and Bay Minette to meet and Frisco City drew a bye.
“The meet was determined highly successful by local officials under whose direction it was staged. Interest and attendance was good and the Aggies made money.
“Miss Sheffield of Castleberry and Miss McMillan of Evergreen were official referees for the tournament while Miss Blackburn of Frisco City was official scorer.
“Eubanks of Bay Minette was high scorer for the tournament with 58 points in three games. She shot 22 against Mobile, 24 against Pine Apple and 12 against Evergreen. Bailey, of Evergreen, was second with 43 and led in average per game as she played in only two games.
“The Evergreen girls will leave Wednesday for Montevallo and the squad of nine or 10 who will make the trip will be picked from the following: guards, Snowden, Stephens, Heffner and Purnell; centers, Kelly, Pierce and Ivey; forwards, Bailey, Andrews and Dickerson; subs, Cox and Simmons.”
“Aggies Leave Thursday For Foley Tournament: The Evergreen Aggies left Thursday for Foley to enter the district boys tournament for South Alabama where they will attempt to emulate the girls and win the right to participate in the state tourney.
“Players picked to make the trip were: Clint Hyde, Billy Kamplain, Wilbur Kelley, Elmer Kelley, Herbert Sanders, Andrew Jay McCreary, Mabry Murphy and J.C. Miller. They will be accompanied by Coach Robinson and Prof. Fisher and will travel in automobiles, one of which was donated for the trip by R.G. Carter.
“Results of the tournament games in which the Aggies participate will be wired to Evergreen and posted in some prominent place downtown. Drawings will begin at 1:30 p.m. Friday and the tournament will begin shortly thereafter and be concluded with the final game Saturday night.
“Approximately $75 was donated by Evergreen citizens to defray the expenses of the team on the trip and before leaving. Coach Robinson expressed, in behalf of the team, appreciation for those who contributed to the fund.
“The Aggies continued to amass victories during the past week, adding four to their string and making it 29 wins to one loss before leaving for Foley. The scores were: Aggies 19, Fort Deposit 7; Aggies 36, Georgiana 17; Aggies 32, Pine Apple 8; Aggies 27, Bay Minette 11.”
