Predicts
Good
Future For
Basketball
|
Although last years
was a very disappointing one for our basketball team, Coach
Ken Hunt feels this year will be different. "This years team is
the biggest one we've had in four years", says Coach Hunt.
There are only four returning lettermen from last year and six transfers
that will help out a lot.
Tim Arnold and Greg Strickland will
return at the forward spots. "Big" Joe Millay who has
reached the height of 6'7" will return to his high post position.
All-conference choice, Tommy McClarty, who was high scorer and
best ball handler will return at a guard position. The other guard
position will be up for grabs and will be determined during the next
few weeks. Chester Abrams, Charles Harris, Lewis Poe and Stevie
McClarty will move up from the "B" team.
New members of the team are: Ghobes
Collins, Bernard Grayer, Willie Woody, Walter Jefferson,
Howard Stephenson and Steve Williams.
This year we will play thirteen
home games. The first game will be against Messick on November
19, instead of the 22nd.

Favazza, Wheely Place
In State Meet
|
|
The Cross-Country team accomplished the
goal they had set at the beginning of the season. On November 6, the
group od six hard working, dedicated boys represented the red and blue
in a state meet for a second year in a row. Westwood finished third in
the Regional, qualifying them for the state meet in Nashville.
The six boys who re- presented Westwood were Steve Favazza, Tim
Wheely, Steve McClarty, Ronnie Lovelady, Doyle Whitehead and Cecil Williams.
Among these six Steve Favazza and Tim Wheely were recognized as outstanding
in the meet and were given medals. Steve finished fifth in the meet and
Tim finished thirteenth. This makes the second year in a row that Steve
has gotten a medal in the State, while this makes the third year in a
row that Tim has won a medal as an outstanding runner.

The team finished seventh in the State
meet. Coach Hunt stated, "I am real proud of the team and I think
they have put forth a fine effort and have worked real hard. We have three
juniors coming back, so we should have another good team next year."
Steve's time for the two-mile run was 10.01. This is the fastest a
Westwood runner has ever run the course. He finished only 13 seconds behind
the winner. Steve's fifth place finish is also the best a Westwood runner
has placed in the state.
