That victory solid­ ly entrenched the Rams as favorites in the Greene Coun­ ty league. And it proved the value of a quick attack. Greeneview blitzed the Bulldogs with a first-period torrent of scoring which never relaxed pressure on the visitors. And the mor­ ale factor was astonishing. Coach Fred Long's charges chomped the opposition from the go. It was a fast-hitting surprise attack which never gave the Bulldogs a chance to recover. Greeneview, •keyed up for its big g ame of the year, showed far more power than anticipated e v e n by local fans. The Rams never stopped s c o r i n g . Even in the final mi nu t e s , when the varsity held a 2 5 - po i n t lead and Coach Long sent in the re­ serves, the G r e e n wave of p o i n t - p r o d u c t i o n never slowed. The reserves not on­ ly h e l d the pace, but in­ creased the margin by an­ other point during the final two minutes of play. J e r r y H i l l again led the Rams to v i c t o r y with 26 points. Dean Howard, Dick Patterson and Jim Faulkner were h i gh in the s c o r i n g b r a c k e t s with 15, 14, and 13 points each. Hill, s o m e t i m e s a late starter, turned the tables on Bryan. He scored five from the field in the first frame. His 10 P o i n t s , along with Howard's six, gave the host squad a comfortable margin. Hill's 26 points for the night cemented his position at the head of the scoring column in county league activity. He now has a total of 57 points in loop action.
