The tidal Wave continues. Petersburg, ranked No. 1 in The Times-Dispatch Top 10 and in The Associated Press state poll, finished a sweep of Central District foes with a 75-46 victory last night in the final of the district tournament. Playing before a packed house of 2,500 in William Lawson Jr. Gym, the Wave won its 25th consecutive game this season. Petersburg has been 25-0 at other times in its storied history. The 1973 and 1974 teams, led by Moses Malone, finished 25-0 and won state championships.

The highest point in Virginia is Mt. Rogers in Grayson County, 5,729 feet above sea level. The tallest peak in Virginia high school basketball might be the Petersburg gym on Johnson Street. The Crimson Wave’s front line measures 6-9, 6-6, 6-6.
