season. He has only nine players on the varsity, and they consist of mostly
sophomores and juniors. He would like to invite all the Aggie fans to come out
and support the Aggies Thursday night in Brewton and also Friday night at home
against the Atmore Blue Devils.
The Aggies last two wins were
most impressive as they downed the T.R. Miller Tigers, 97-43, and also beat the
W.S. Neal Eagles, 75-48. Chuck Jones and Ronald Fantroy combined to score 51 of
the Aggies 75 points.

students and $2 for adults.

JAN. 12, 1950
Hi-Lites of E.H.S.: The year
of 1949-50 has seen a remarkable improvement in the Physical Education Program
of E.H.S. Take for instance the six-man football teams. These teams did not
play inter-school competition, but they showed real spirit in playing one
another. All the physical education classes were divided into 20 teams with
each team having its own captain. At the end of the season, the teams with the
highest records played an inter-class tournament. The “Wildcats,” captained by
Gehue Ross emerged the victor and for their excellent record each member of the
squad will receive a miniature gold football with “Intramural Champions of
1949” inscribed thereon.
Now that the football season
is over, marching drills have been started and everyone is learning how to
march in formation. Each platoon has its own drill leader, and on Jan. 13 the
leaders will drill their teams in marching formations. Capt. John C. Holman,
who was in the United States Army for 10 years and is an expert on marching,
has been asked by Coach John Lockwood, Physical Education Director, to select
the best drilled marching platoon.
Folk dancing, volleyball,
soccer and intramural track are future projects of the physical education
schedule. At the end of school, tournaments, parades and other athletic events
will be enjoyed by everyone. Coach Lockwood has done a splendid job in this
program and the participants have shown great interest and cooperation.
SPORTS: The Aggies snapped
their losing jinx last Friday by downing Greenville High to the tune of 40-25.
John Greel Ralls played his first game of the season and was high-point man.
The Juniors won their second
straight game by downing the Baby Tigers of Greenville, 14-13. It was a close
contest all the way, but Coach Lockwood’s boys showed their training by keeping
a cool head under pressure. John Henry Brantley was top man in the points
scored department.
The “B” team, led by William
Stewart and Clayton Cobb, made it a perfect night with a score of 25 over 23.
There have been several
inquiries concerning the new two-minute ruling in basketball. If a player
commits a foul in the last two minutes of play, the opposing team automatically
takes the foul shots and also has possession of the ball at the center of the
court. This ruling allows a team to freeze the ball more easily heretofore.
Friday night, the Aggies play
Georgiana in Memorial Gym.
Unbeaten Miller Slips By
Evergreen Aggies 42-38: The T.R. Miller Tigers continued undefeated in
basketball at the expense of the Evergreen Aggies Tuesday night with a close 42
to 38 win. The game was played on the “half court” in the old school auditorium
in Brewton. Brewton is to get a new gym within a few months.
The Aggies took an early 7-0
lead and were ahead at the quarter, 11-10, but Miller went out in front in the
second quarter to stay. The Tigers led, 21-16, at the half and 31-27 at the end
of the third quarter.
It’s true that the Aggies
were cramped on the small court, but they actually lost the game under the
boards. The Millers got more rebounds and made more follow shots good.
Evergreen’s cause wasn’t helped any when John Greel Ralls accumulated four
fouls early in the second quarter and sat out the rest of that period, all of
the third and most of the fourth. He returned late in the fourth, but was
dispatched to the bench quickly with his fifth offense.
A pair of lanky forwards did
most of the work for Miller. Jerry Wood and Junior Allen dunked 11 points each
to pace the scorers. Guerry Moorer led the Aggies with 10 points. Ralls and
Jack Cunningham dropped seven; Gillis Morgan, six; Jeff Moorer, five; Bobby
Frank Snowden, two; and Gwyn Daniels, one, for the Aggies.
The Evergreen Bees brought
their season average up to the .500 mark with a 41-29 win over Miller inn a
preliminary bout. Cleveland Robinson with 10 and William Stewart with nine
points paced the Aggie attack. Billy Long dropped 12 for Miller. Evergreen led
all the way.
