Bulldogs start five in doubt for opener with McArthur
Athens High School coach Harry Lackey paces the squad this week to refine passing and shooting as the opener vs McArthur nears. Likely starters: Enghe and Poling at forwards, Williams and Finsterwald at guards, Connett at center. Several reserves vie for spots while Lackey may shuffle positions during the game. Defense stands out as their strength, with inexperience among substitutes noted. PORPOISES CROWN PROPERTY If caught in British waters by a British ship, porpoises become the property of the crown, because they are considered royal fish.
