The girls' basketball team, sponsored by Miss Elsie Watters and coached by Norman Dashner, won five games out of seven and secured the Marble Valley League champion- ship this year. Dorothy Hastings assisted in coaching. The B. R. A. girls were defeated by Wal- lingford in the first game of the season here. The girls had had only a few weeks of prac- tice, but they put up a strong fight. There were a few changes made in the line-up in the second half, and B. R. A. held Walling- ford scoreless throughout the half. The next game seemed to stimulate the girls to their greatest efforts, and they beat Chester High School, 13-12. Natalie Durose scored 10 of the 13 points. West Rutland lost to the academy team in the third game of the season. The teams were evenly matched and the score was tied at the end of the first quarter, 8-8, and at the half B. R. A. led, 16-15. During the next half the Black River team gained 18 points and won the game, 34-21. Mary Pearsons was high scorer with 28 points. Middlebury was decisively overcome, 39-14, on their own court by the Ludlow team. All the members had a chance to play in this game. Mary Pearsons scored 24 points. The B. R. A. team defeated Pittsford at Pittsford, 39-28. The teams were evenly matched and both played a good game. The next week the local girls defeated Chester, 32-14, at Chester. Chester was hop- ing to win the championship and offset the de- feat earlier in the season, but the Black River girls showed them it couldn't be done. Brandon lost, 10-6, in the game played here. The visitors showed fine teamwork but they could not squeeze through the strong de- fense of the Black River team. In the last game of the season the B. R. A. girls were defeated by Bellows Falls High School, 21-14. . -0-0+-0-Q-0-o+o-0-Q Q
