THE ZEPHYR Page TwentyfSeven BASKETBALL The girls Basketball season of 1928, was one of spirited memory to the Blessed Sacrament High School. Never before have the girls entered into the game with so much enthusiasm. At Miss McGregor's call for basketball material thirty girls ref sponded, and from this number two excellent teams were developed. It was due to the untiring efforts, good sportsmanship and excellent coaching ability of Miss McGregor, that the school enjoyed such a splendid season in this major sport for girls. Practice began after Christmas. In the first team, guard positions were quite capably taken care of by Vera O'Connor, and Elizabeth Webb. It was the forward line positions that caused most concern. Agnes Flaherty was a keen basket shooter, and made an ideal captain. Mary Crowley was also a clever shot and a splendid floor worker. Dorothy McGrath played side center in real style. Audrey Hyde, as center, always obtained the tip off, and was very good on jumps. The line up for second team was as follows: Forwards .................................................. Kathleen Dempsey and Verna McCann Center ........... .................................... E leanor Synnestvedt Side Center ..... ,,........................................ B eatrice Benoit Guards .,,......., . ................. .,,.,. M ary Long and Beryl Miller GAMES St. Dominic's - Blessed Sacrament 3 6 The first tussel of the season took place in Everett at the Knights of Columbus Gymnasium, and when time was called, the score was announced 6 to 3 in our favor. Rah, rah, for our side!!!!!! The second game of the season was played with the Green Lake Baptists. We considered ourselves too insufficient in size to cope with our opponents with any success, so after a rather rough game, we were badly defeated. Baptists - Blessed Sacrament 20 6 St. Dominic's - Blessed Sacrament 13 12 Flushed with the victory of the first game we enetered into the return game with assurance. Everything started out auspiciously for Blessed Sacrament, when Agnes Flaherty caged the ball with a pretty shot. Both teams were fighting nip and tuck when half time found our girls leading. The third period began, the game being anything but gentle. Both Audrey Hyde and Eleanor Synnestvedt were put out of the game because of fouls and Vera O'Connor was put in as center and Ellen O'Connor as guard. Vera's size was against her. Altho we lost, the game was very fast and intensely interesting. St. Dominic's - Blessed Sacrament ll 18 The deciding game was played at Everett and from the Hrst it was evident that this game would be a close one. In the second half despite the fact that St. Dominic's players added a few points, our team emerged with a decisive victory. After both games, at Everett, the Everett girls were hostesses for a lovely lunch' eon at the school. We appreciated their thoughtfulnss very greatly. I
