Statesmen, Rams Challenge FHS Record This Week Farmville High School's tin defeated basketball squad facei !‘s two greatest challenges thu week, with Randolph Henry ant Blackstone High's Rams. No. I and No. 3 teams in the district scheduled to face the Wolverines The final week's court play foi FamviKe will answer two ques tions. both looming larger with each passing game: can the Wol verines hold up imder the pres sure to close out their regular season without defeat? Will either Randolph-Henry or Blackstone offer a real challcnege when the district tourney rolls around? Tire answers ate only a few days away from being answered. There are a good many Charlotte county fans who feci Randolph Henry's Statesmen are the cl' b to stop the Wolverines. They'll have their home court advantage Tuesday night, and will be guard ing against repeating the fourth quarter relapse they suffered in their first meeting with Farmville. Perfect Record Test Blackstone, loser only to Farm viile and in their first meeting with Randolph-Henry (a team they have since defeated and at Charlotte C. H.> are perhaps the biggest, best-rounded squad the Wolverines face m the District. Assuming, and its a big as sumption considering Tuesday night's game with Coach Oar letts fine Randolph-Henry squad, that Farmville wins Tuesday and gets by Amelia Friday night as expected, then they' ll face Black stone in the gym here Saturday night with a double-barreled challlenge. Win that final game
