Coach Verne Garfield has
dubbed his Groveton High
School basketball team a Melt
ing pot" for strangers, pointing
out that none of the top si1
boys played together last sea-
son.
Because of that fact, Can.
field has been concerned with
the Tigers lack of team play
at times. But that problem went
out the window last night as
the poised Tigers fought off a
determined Mclean team for a
67-65 victory in double over
time at Groveton.
In the only other game
last night involving Group
LA teams, Hammond ran its
winning streak to IL with a

a hurley 6-foot-5 junior, and
Rusty Shelton are up from the
jayvees.
Jim Jones, who never played
organized basketball before this
season, is a transfer from Paris
Bill Mcclure moved in from
New Jersey and Bill Poff came
all the way from Africa.
Groveton had to scramble to
beat Mclean and keep its rec
ord clean in Fairfax County
The Tigers are TO against
County schools and 90 in
Group la. They take on George
Washington, tied with Washing
ton-Lee for the league lead, to-
night at CIV.
Terry Grefe's long jump shot
with is seconds left in the
regulation game knotted the
score at 5000 and forced the
first overtime. The hot-handeo
Crete then stuck in another
long one-hander to give the
Highlanders a quick edge ir
the overtime.
Mcclure got loose under the
basket with Is seconds remain

Groveton then got five quick
