“This is certainly a blessing to have everyone come out and celebrate,” said Scott’s Branch senior player Chaniya Monroe. “It’s really more than what I expected. It was great to have all of these people out here.” “For me, this was a tremen- dous thing,” said Lucinda Stukes, the head coach and Scotts’ branch alumnus who led the Lady Eagles to a 24-3 record. “To see all of my for- mer classmates and teachers as well as our fans was great. Our support has been great all year.” Clarendon Hall’s Zyan Gilm- ore said the fan support has been outstanding for the Saints as well. “This is about what I expect- ed,” Gilmore said of the turn- out for the parade. “All season, our fans have supported us, both home and away. This was a really good thing.” Clarendon Hall went unde- feated, posting a 29-0 record.

C2 | SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 2019 THE SUMTER ITEM REFLECTIONS Sumter’s state champion ‘mibster’ Griffin wins 1949 title as top marble shooter in S.C. eflections remembers a young Sumter Junior High School sixth-grade student who won Rthe 1949 State Championship in marbles. Johnny Griffin won the crown by defeating four opponents in the state tournament held in Winns- boro. Information and photos used to prepare this article were found in The Sumter Item archives. The Sumter Daily Item announced that Marvin Burress was declared the champi- on seventh-grade “mibster” (a marble player) in the first V.F.W. City Recre- Sammy Way ation Department marbles tournament REFLECTIONS held at the Washing- ton, Hampton and Central elementary school grounds. Burress, after winning his city cham- pionship, would represent Sumter in the state finals held in Winnsboro. Bobbie Kolb, who finished second to Burress, placed second in the state fol- lowed closely by Thad Ward, who took third spot. Many of the competitors in the 1948 tournament would compete again for the city championship in 1949 with Johnny Griffin winning out among the large number of highly tal- ented Sumter mibsters. The city tournament was again sponsored by the Sumter County V.F.W. Post 3034, and the winner would represent Sumter in the state competition. “Woody Baird and Bobby DeBerry, representing Sumter in the nine-and-under age group, placed SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTOS third and fourth, respectively, in the Johnnie Griffin, winner of the 1949 Sumter Marbles Tournament and also 1949 State Marbles Shooting champion, is seen with City state tournament for younger boys.” Recreation Director Harry Bryan. Griffin, as seventh-grade student, was eligible to defend his city championship in 1950. The 1950 “Griffin won the state championship Sumter Marbles Tournament was to be played at schools and recreation centers. It was a joint project of Sumter County Post 3034, on Saturday the hard way. He defeated Veterans of Foreign Wars and the City Recreation Department. the two favorite players as well as two other players. In his first match, he downed left-handed Bobby Hilton of Charleston, the previous year’s state runner-up, 2-1. In his second match, he came up against Huston Vincent of Chester, who had been crowned state champion for the last two years.” It was an exciting match won by Griffin 2-1. Griffin would later win against Buddy Graham of Columbia 2-0 in the semi-finals. His most difficult match came against Phillips of Chester; the score of this match was one-all in games and six-six in marbles in the play-off game. This was before Griffin knocked out the deciding marble to win the 1949 South Carolina Marble Shooting Championship. Griffin, by virtue of winning the 1949 City Marbles Championship, was eligible to defend his city champion- ship in 1950 as he was now a seventh- grader. The tournament would again be hosted by the City Recreational De- partment and V.F.W. Post 3034. The 1950 tournament winner was Buddy Whisnant, city champion, followed by Frank Bryan, second place; Billy Weaver, third place; Anthony Pate, champion for boys nine years old and under; Wayne Morris, runner-up in this class; and Timothy Gaymon, third-place winner. Whisnant, Bryan, Pate and Morris would represent Sumter in the State Marbles Tourna- ment held in Sumter at Memorial Park.
