Harlem High cited

The citizens of Harlem can be proud of their high school students and the basketball team and cheerleaders for their performance at the CSRA Tournament.

Not only did our people play a good game each time, but their sportsmanship and attitude toward their fellow players is to be commended.

Harlem earned its second CSRA crown in a row when they beat Sparta Saturday with a score of 56-51.

Coach Tom Whitfield is to be commended for his management of the Bulldogs.
