Miller graduate
joins SA coaching staff: Sparta Academy’s renewed conviction to reviving its
football program took another step recently when the school hired Daniel Wilson
as an assistant football coach.
Wilson, who has
coached junior high sports at Monroe Academy the last three years, is a product
of T.R. Miller High School, where he was a standout lineman.
He added that
Sparta has hired a gem in head coach Don Hand, who has a “ton” of experience.
Hand has been director of the AISA’s athletic department for the past several
years.

Sparta girls do well at Tri-State Track Meet: The Sparta
Academy Girls Track Team did themselves, their school, their parents and their
town “proud” with their performance in the Tri-States Private Schools Track
Meet held Saturday in Jackson, Miss.
The mile relay team placed fourth with a
time of 4:28.2. Lynn Hyde placed fifth in the long jump with a leap of 15 feet,
7-1/2 inches (short of her jump of 16 feet, four inches that won first place in
the state meet).
The mile relay team, which also won first
place in the State Private Schools Association Track Meet, is composed of Lynn
Hyde, Lesa Ralls, Miss Price and Cheri Johnson.
The girls are coached by Richard Brown.
Coach Brown, who also is head coach of the male football and basketball teams
at Sparta, said “I am extremely proud of these young ladies and their
achievements in track this year. I would also like to point out that of the
four only one, Lesa, is a senior. So, the Sparta Girls Track Team could well be
considered ‘hard-to-beat’ in future state and regional competition.”

Shooting Experts Here Monday, May 19: For those who like
their thrills early and often the shooting exhibition to be given here on May
19 by the Topperweins, Mr. and Mrs., will provide a measure of satisfaction
that can seldom be equaled. Topperwein, a veritable magician with rifle,
shotgun and revolver has roused audiences all of America to vigorous enthusiasm
for the past third of a century. He is widely acclaimed the world’s greatest
fancy shot. The exhibition is given under the direction of Wild Brothers
Hardware Co.
But, while Topperwein is a whole show in himself, local
residents are to have the opportunity for a real double header, for in Mrs.
Topperwein, they will see a woman shot as sensational in her breath-taking
stunts and accurate quick shots as her famous husband himself. Together, they
make a shooting team never to be forgotten and, once seen, never to be missed
if opportunity presents them again.
