BASKETBALL RESUME Next we traveled to Hartsville to lose in the final seconds of the game by a score of 45 to 43. Patterson scored twenty-four points which was the highest score for her during the season in any game. We were determined to win over Carthage when they came to town, despite the fact that our Captain was unable to play due to sickness. This we did. Forwards and guards came through with an outstanding piece of work, the final score being 32 to 28. Our return game with Mt. Juliet was the thriller of the season since both teams played a hard fought game staying within a few points of each other throughout the game. We came home victorious with a score of 37 to 35. Since “The Purple Tiger” goes to the publishers before the season is over a complete resume cannot be given. There are two g ames left in the season and the tournament. For an inexperienced team this has been a rather successful season. Much should be heard of Mr. Turney and his Tigerettes next year since all of the first team will return next season.
