THE 1922 BASKETBALL SEASON Moundsville High School's 1922 Basketball season was a decided suc- cess, as was expected. Of a total of 19 games played, 12 have been won and 7 lost. Among the teams met were some of the strongest in the Ohio Val- ley, including Marietta High, whom Moundsville defeated this year for the hrst time. Two games each were played with teams such as, Parkersburg, Wellsibt1rg', Sistersville, Smithfield, and Martins Ferry. Moundsville was unfortunate in having one or more regulars sick for a lengthened period throughout the sea- son, and this doubtless accounts for the majority of our defeats. The entire regular early-season lineup was able to play in but 2 of the 7 games lost and this was the main cause for the few de- feats suffered. Among the notable victories of the season were those over Marietta, Farmington, double wins ov- er Littleton, Smithfield, and Middle- bourne, and a tournament, victory over Sistersville.
