those who have been following
the teams closely predict that Ma
than's Creek, Fleetwood, Healing
Springs and Jefferson will march
to the semi-finals in the girls
group. Among the boys teams,
West jefferson, Fleetwood, Elk
land, Nathan's Creek and JEFF
ferson have the best records.
AS previously announced the
tournament this year is under the
direction of the Appalachian
High School Association. Officials
are to be furnished by them and
they will handle all finances, pro-
vided trophies etc. Due to the
fact that the association needs
money, Riverview decided to
waver priority claims on the
tournament that had been voted
to them by Ashe school officials.
The winners of the Ashe tourn-
ament will 60 to Boone to meet

The basketball conference sea-
son of the Ashe division of the
Appalachian high school associa-
ton of came to a close Tuesday
night with Healing Springs girls
maintaining their perfect rec
ord by defeating Jefferson girls
22-11; while Jefferson boys won
by a score of 1923 over the
Healing Springs quintet.
The Healing Springs girls team
is the only one in the Ashe divi-
sion with no defeats.
In the boys group, West Jeffer-
son and Virginia are tied for first
place with Nathan's Creek only
one game behind second place.
By winning the first place
among the girls, the Healing
Springs team will be awarded the
loving cup, presented annually to
the conference winner by the
Skyland Post. According to pre-
sent plans, this trophy will be
presented at the All-Star game.
Since there is a tie between VIC
and West Jefferson, for the con-
ference season, the winner of this
will probably be decided by the
tournament, it was pointed out.
There is considerable difference
in the standings in the girls teams,
from that announced last week.
In addition to other differences,
VIC girls have replaced Jefferson
in second place. The standings last
week as we'll, as the final stand
ings this week were announced
by the Appalachian High School
Association. The association an

In the past, the charms have
