Kay Hawsey, nine-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Houston Hawsey, showed the older hunters ‘how to do
it’ when she killed this fine ‘Tom.’ The turkey weighed 13 pounds and had an
eight-inch beard. Kay killed the turkey on Tuesday morning in Monroe County.
Aggies upset Monroe Tigers:
Evergreen came back after the holiday break on Jan. 6 to win their biggest game
of the season as they defeated the previously unbeaten Monroeville Tigers by a
score of 65-60. The Aggies were paced by Johnny Allen with 20 points and 10
rebounds. Following were Horace Smith and Michael Lampley with 14 points each.
The Warriors defeated Fort
Deposit in a game played there Friday night, 74-68. Terry Shipp hit 23 points
to lead the Warrior scoring. Jeff Johnson had 16 points, Ed Carrier, 10; Vince
Watts, seven; Joe McInvale, Joey Johnson and Wes Brown, four each; Russ Raines,
three; and Scotty Grace, one.

Evergreen Aggies Bump
Beatrice: Riding the crest of their best season since 1950, the Evergreen High
Aggies chalked up their eighth triumph of the season here Tuesday night,
downing Beatrice, 41-36, before a near-capacity crowd. The Hart-coached Aggies
were off form, but still managed to stay in front all the way.
(Randy) White maintained his
point-making clip as he hit the cords with 20 points in spite of fouling out
with a quarter to go. Jimmy Frazier netted seven; Ward Alexander Jr. and Hosea
King, five each; Wayne Douglas, three; and Charles King, one.
Stabler and Luker were
ringleaders for Beatrice netting 13 and 10 points respectively. Anderson had
nine and Johnson and Johnston, two each.
Improving Aggies Trounce T.R.
Miller Friday Night 66 To 41: The surging Evergreen High Aggies plastered a
faltering T.R. Miller High quintet 66-41 in Brewton last Friday night.
Continuing their rapid improvement, Coach Wendell Hart’s Aggies hung up their
first basketball victory over Miller since 1950.
Big Randy White continued to
pace the Aggie attack netting 22 points to lead the scoring. White has topped
the 20 mark in the past three games scoring a total of 75 points, an average of
25 per contest.
Runner-up in the scoring race
was Ward Alexander Jr. with 15 points followed closely by Hosea King with 12.
Wayne Douglas sent eight points through the cords; Jimmy Frazier, five; and
Buck Lewis and Dale Blair, two each.
Jerry Kelly was the
ringleader in Miller’s losing cause with 14 points. Tommy Martin had nine;
Bobby Smith, eight; Bob Bryant and Taylor, four each; and Mack Fuqua, two.
Repton Rally Whips
Castleberry 52-44: Coach Albert Arnold’s Repton High Bulldogs won their eighth
decision in nine starts this season with a fourth quarter rally at Castleberry
Friday night. Trailing Coach Ray Owens’ County High Blue Devils by three points
at the end of the third, the Bulldogs surged into the lead and won going away,
52-44.
Harry Giles was the big gun
in the Repton attack, netting 22 points. Billy Farrish tallied 10 points; Paul
Brantley, nine; Ray Blackwell and Burt Stacey, five each; and Roger Kearley,
one.
Charles Hart with 17 and
Wilbur Heaton with 10 were ringleaders for Castleberry. Bobby Daw dropped nine,
Leon Raines, four; Ray Oliver, two; and Lewis Heaton, two.

Aggies Snap Miller Win Streak
At Nine, 21 To 17: Coach E.L. McInnis’ red hot Evergreen Aggies ran their win
streak to seven straight and stopped the Miller High squad’s at nine straight
in a fast played game in Brewton Tuesday night, 21 to 17. The Millers, who had
not met defeat in nine games, took command of the game in the first half, and
grabbed a six-point lead before the locals dented the basket. Three foul shots
made good by Huey (2) and Hart kept the Aggies in the game, and the half ended
with the Millers leading six to three and both teams playing defensive ball. A
rejuvenated Evergreen team took the game in hand as the second half began. With
Huey and Tranum hitting the cords at will, the Aggies moved into the lead and
were never in trouble again.
Robertson, stellar Brewton
forward, sank 11 points to pace the Miller attack, but Huey, straight shooting
Aggie forward, grabbed the high scoring honors with 12. Tranum shot six;
Stinson, two; and Hart, one. Stinson played one of the best floor games seen
since Billy Wiggins was cavorting in the green and white. He was all over the
floor continuously tying up the Brewton attack. The entire Aggie team played
good defensive ball, and their pass work left nothing to be desired. Evergreen
will meet Brewton on the local court Friday afternoon, and with the Millers
seeking revenge for this defeat, one of the most exciting games of the season
is in prospect.
This was the locals’ seventh
win in as many games. They have defeated Castleberry twice, McKenzie twice, and
Lyeffion, Repton and Brewton one each.
All But Four Game Seasons Now
Closed: Quail, rabbit, raccoon and opossum hunters are the only boys – if they
have shells – who may now legally take the field in quest of game. The season
on squirrel expired Jan. 15 in South Alabama and 15 days earlier in North
Alabama. Likewise, the season on wild turkey gobblers, antlered buck deer,
ducks, geese, dove, coot, rails, gallinules and sora are now mere memories.
Hunters have until Feb. 20 to hunt quail, rabbit, opossum and raccoon. Turkey
hunters will get a break March 20 when the spring gobbling season opens. It will
continue through April 15.

Evergreen Cage Teams Win
Seven During Week: Aggies 41, East Brewton, 17; Aggies 24, Night Hawks, 17;
Aggies, 39, Georgiana 13; Night Hawks, 51, McKenzie 18; Night Hawks 37, Mobile
Rangers 25; Evergreen Nat’l Guard 60, Greenville Nat’l Guard 12; Aggies 59,
Castleberry 10; Aggies 19, Georgiana 10.
Evergreen’s three basketball
teams, the Aggies, Night Hawks and Guardsmen, made a clean sweep of their seven
games with outside opposition during the week ending Wednesday. The Aggies
vanquished East Brewton, Georgiana and Castleberry; the Night Hawks turned back
McKenzie and the Mobile Rangers; and the Evergreen National Guard company
overwhelmed the Greenville company.
In addition, the Aggies and
Night Hawks fought among themselves, the Aggies emerging victorious, 24 to 17.
The feature contest of the
week was the Night Hawks-Mobile game Saturday night. The two teams were
virtually on even terms until the third period when the Night Hawks finally
drew away to gather a nine-point lead which they increased to 12 before the end
of the game. At the end of the first quarter, the score was eight all and at
the half, the Night Hawks led, 14 to 13. McCreary at forward and Sanders at
guard stood out for the Aggies while Guiduici and Allen were the main cogs in
the Mobile machine.
Coach Abe Robinson’s Aggies
swept their 13th straight triumph Tuesday afternoon when the
Castleberry invasion was easily repulsed, 59-10. It was the fourth victory of
the week for the Aggies, who on Wednesday night beat both East Brewton and the
Night Hawks and on Friday night Georgiana. They made 14 straight Wednesday by
trimming Georgiana again, 19-10.
Robinson announced Wednesday
that the next opposition for the Aggies will be furnished by McKenzie Thursday
night. A basketball double-header will be played, teams of each sex meeting at
the Armory beginning at 7:30.
John T. Hanks, the Night
Hawks pilot, said that the next appearance for his charges will be Friday night
at the Armory when the Georgiana Athletic club and the Night Hawks will play
off a game scheduled for last week but which was prevented by rain.
