Warriors explode in second half to take Vols 65-47: Junior guard Britt Ward scored 30 points, leading the Sparta Academy Warriors basketball team to a 65-47 victory over Monroe Academy last Tuesday night.
Chris Pate also scored in the double figures with 14 points in the game against the Volunteers.
According to Byron Warren Jr., sports information director for Sparta Academy, the first half was a defensive struggle with neither team being able to generate much in the way of offense. Sparta held a 21-18 lead at halftime.
But the second half was a different story as the Warriors out-scored the Volunteers 44-29 to clinch the victory.
The Warriors will play in the Greenville Academy tournament tonight (Thursday) and Friday.
Scoring summary as follows: Britt Ward, 30; Chris Pate, 14; McPherson Cook, six; Bryant Robinson, five; Terry Conway, three; Casey Grant, three; Brian Gorum, two; Chip Gibson, one; Reggie Kendrick, one.

From “Front Page, Upper Left Corner” by Bob Bozeman: Lest my Auburn friends worry that I’m getting soft in my mid-years, I’ll say it just once. We really don’t care for any more movie reviews, and he may not be “good ole Shug” anymore, but 7 to 3 is still the score.

CASTLEBERRY SCHOOL: Our basketball team, which has suffered two defeats in the two games played, is looking forward to a return game with Evergreen and also some other scheduled games. We hope to get on the winning side in our future games. Student interest is high and the boys appreciate this backing very much. They promise to repay this by winning the rest of their games.

Mr. and Mrs. Herndon Cunningham of Montgomery spent the weekend with relatives here. Mr. Cunningham, while fishing in the Country Club Pond, had the rare experience of catching two fish on one hook, one a jack fish and the other a seven-pound trout.

Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Wild left Saturday for McIntosh, where they will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Andrews on a deer hunt.
