Basketball Team
(Con't. from page 1, col. 5)
meet Travelers Rest, who pulled an upset when they defeated Piedmont in the quarter-finals.
The game was a slow starter, due to the tight defense used by the Travelers Rest team. Later in the game, Slater-Marietta broke up the Travelers Rest zone defense with a smooth passing and fast breaking attack which baffled the opponents. Stroud and Knight led the Slater - Marietta scoring, while Cox, Lybrand, and Revis were good on floor work. When the final bell had rung, the local boys had an impressive 31-18 win. This moved the winners to the finals. Meanwhile, West Gantt had bowled over their opponents, as expected, and were matched to meeet Slater-Marietta for the "B" boys championship.
The flashy boys in red played their best game of the season as they roared in high season as they roared in high gear before an overflowing crowed and stopped the West Gantt boys 31-23 to take the county championship. West Gantt jumped to an early 6-1 lead as they tallied for 2 field goals and a pair of free throws, but the slater - Marietta team was not to be denied. They settled down, stopped the West Gannt scoring spurge, and commanded a 9-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. From this point, it was Slater-Marietta all the way. For three quarters they displayed one of the smoothest passing combinations witnessed in a District Tournament in many a year.
Donald Stroud, Slater-Marietta's high scoring forward, led the winners' scoring as he combined field goals and free throws to lead the point parade with a total of 21 points. Marshall Revis performed a gerat defensive game as he held West Gantt's high scoring forward to only 6 points. Gene Cox and Harold Knight played a brilliant floor game as they checked the opponents on long shots and broke up their opponents passing. Roy Lybrand, lanky pivot man, was colorful on his passing as he fed the ball to his players on fast breaks. Revis' and Lybrand's back board play was good.
Donald Stroud and Harold Knight made the annual "All-Star" team selection, which is picked each year at tthe close of the tournament.
The Slater-Marietta boys journeyed to Fairforest where the upper State District Tourney was held February 27, 28, and March 1. Winners of this meet will go to Columbia to participate for the coveted State Championship.
The people of Slater and the surrounding communities wish to congratulate the local team and its coach, Mr. Sechrest, who has directed the team through a successful season and its first tournament championship.
