PCHS BASKETBALL
The Warriors opened the season with a victory over Bath County High School. The 82-35 win over the Chargers took place in the local gymnasium.
The winners collected 50 rebounds and shot 46 percent from the field.
Jim Ryder grabbed 15 of the rebounds, followed by David Jonese with 12 and Ricky Doyle with 9.
Captain Jimmy Cutlip paced the Warriors in scoring with 24 points, Albert Pondexter, followed with 20, Doyle 14 and Ryder with 11.
The opening game reflected several fouls in the rather physical contest.
While the PCHS defense looked good, the real test came Tuesday in a battle with Elkins High School.
Coach Groseclose was pleased with the “Hustle” of his club and noted that this team has more bench strength than any previous PCHS team.
