Smiley Seeks Better 62 Season After 2-10 Finish
Smiley High’s 124A team, led by coach Martin Hearne, returns six lettermen including top scorers Engram and Ashford as it aims to rebound from a 2-10 season. With experienced guards and forwards, the Eagles hope improved shooting and rebounding lift them into a contention spot in the league, despite a lack of height. The roster shows Gerald Doggett, Lane Sauls, Jimmy Scribner among others, and Hearne emphasizes quicker offense and stronger boards as keys to turning the 1962 campaign around.
