DeKalb’s basketball BASKETBALL Patriots broke open their 1973-74 season with an 85- OPEN 77 victory over Northern division opponent North Georgia Tech. DeKalb, in their home opener, faced Dalton, defending region XVII SEASON champs. Although we came into the match with the leading rebounder in the state, Mike Hailey, 14.0 average, and the 5th best offense, it proved not enough. DeKalb took an early 6-2 lead in front of a larger than average crowd, but saw it fall for good at 20-12. Although they played better in the second half, Coach Whitlock com­ mented, “Our team didn’t execute in the first or second half and Dalton had two men that hurt us badly. Together they put in 48 points of their 87.” The high scorers for DeKalb were Gerald Watson with 26 and Willie Robinson with 12. The Patriots tried to slow down Dalton, but found them­ selves over run. The team now stands at 1-1. Among the upcoming games, DeKalb Central will play DeKalb South there on Dec. 4, matching the men and talents of Coach Bill Whitlock against DeKalb South Coach Roger Couch. The contest will prove to be one of the biggest rivalrys in years to come. The Patriots encounter their next opponents Dec. 6th and 8th here against Truett-McConnell and Brims wick. Be there! Fall Intramurals Close The intramurals football season came to a close disappointingly. Many of the teams for­ feited their chances of the championship. Team 3 was dropped from the league because they didn’t have any in­ terest in playing. They forfeited two of their games, which automatically drops a team out of the league. In the championship game, Mike Mason’s team was supposed to meet John Craig’s team, but Craig’s team forfeited, giving Mason’s team the title.
