Eagles Bow In
Tourney by Oscar D. Tucker: The CCTS Eagles met an old nemesis in the S.A.A.A.
Conference Tournament last Saturday afternoon and were eliminated by a score of
46-43 to their old nemesis, Booker T. Washington of Brewton. B.T.W. defeated
the Eagles for the third time this season, and I think that’s par for the
course. After this third drudging by the Trojans, they have made believers of
us all.
The Eagles were
never out of the contest. They were losing by nine at the half, but came within
one point with 55 seconds to go in the game. The Eagles had control of the ball
at this crucial point, but a pass went away and a subsequent foul by an
Eagleman on a one and one situation saw the Eagles lose a close, hard-fought
basketball game to BTW by a score of 46-43.
The Eagles journey
to Brewton to play Southern Normal Monday night and perhaps to exhibit something
they learned in the tournament.
Junior high basketball games scheduled to be played on Friday, March 4, are as follows: Castleberry at Butterick, CCTS at China, Nichburg at Lime Hill, Little Zion at Mount Zion and Sandy Grove at Rabb.

The Evergreen Aggies
returned Sunday from Foley where they won second place in the district tourney
from Southwest Alabama. The Aggies defeated Robertsdale and Georgiana but lost
out to Murphy High in the finals by a one-point margin.
By finishing second,
the Aggies, for the second successive year, won the right to represent, along
with Murphy High, the first district in the state tourney but had to forego the
trip to Tuscaloosa as arrangements could not be made to send both boys and
girls teams to the state meets that year.
Mortimer Jordan
eliminated Evergreen last year in the Aggies first game of the tournament.
