.,--if 51:--A-1 -CVT. fi - ' Q' l BASKETBALL December 9-Payne Here-27-20 Payne came to Convoy to open the basketball season for both schools. The girls did not display a great deal of playing technique, but neverthe- less, were strong enough to win. We led throughout the game. December 16-York There-16-24 Our second game did not turn out so well. York's team was more experienced than ours, but they were compelled to extend themselves right to the final whistle. December 23-Ohio City Here-28-58 Ohio City's size made it possible for them to pick our passes out of the air. The defense of both teams was rather weak. Our captain was not able to play. However, we outplayed them in the third quarter, the score being 15 to 9 in our favor. January 7-Payne There-16-18 Payne got the big end of the score. The game was fast and rough. Our floor work was good but the forwards were unable to hit the loose baskets. January 10-Middlepoint Here--31-1 We won this game without much effort. All ten girls got a taste of the game. Middlepoint put up a game fight but could not get the ball to their forwards. January 20-Paulding Here-11-16 It was no disgrace to lose this game, as Paulding is a Class A High School. Our captain was back again but we were unable to get the lead. The half ended 4-5 in their favor and the third quarter 7 all. January 27-York Here-17-11 This game spelled another victory for Convoy High School. The first half ended 8-1 in our favor. York played a better brand of basketball the second half but our girls proved too much for them. February 3-Ohio City There-29-25 Revenge is sweet. Convoy defeated Ohio City for the iirst time in several years. C. H. S. led from the second quarter through the rest of the game. The victory was due to the great improvement in the team and the support of the fans. February 10-Delphos Here-24-13 Delphos came here with lots of pep and confidence. They soon lost both due to Convoy's leading throughout the game. It was quite prevalent that the team had improved much over their previous performances. A - , .-- -.1 - , .1 1 - --, -. -- ..

. ,Ng fhiijf COUNTY TOURNAMENT As usual Convoy had to play Ridge in their first game of the tourna- ment. The game started out in our favor. Throughout the whole game Ridge made only two field goals. Convoy girls could not keep from fouling and Ridge was able to run up their score via the foul line. However, Convoy girls did not seem up to their usual form and as a result the game ended 15-17 in Ridge's favor. INTER-CLASS TOURNAMENTS This year Mr. Shaffer did not plan the High School Inter-class Basket- ball Tournaments until the High School team finished its season at the Lima tournament. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors had the varsity players divided up quite evenly among their class teams, the Senior class having two of the varsity first team players, the Juniors, two regulars and two substitutes, and the Sophomores, one first team man and one substi- tute. The tournament commenced on Tuesday evening, March the sixth at 7:30 with a preliminary game by the seventh and eighth grade girls. This was followed by the Freshman-Sophomore girls' game, the Sophs winning after a close game. Immediately afterwards the Sophomore boys and Freshman boys took the floor and after a close game the Sophomore class copped their second game of the tournament. The next game was between the Junior and Senior girls. The Seniors having three of the regular High School team and one substitute held the Juniors scoreless until the last quarter, while they ran up a high score, winning the easiest game of the tournament. The Junior and Senior boys put on a fast offensive game with every- one playing his limit. The Seniors finished in the lead. This completed the tournament with the exception of the finals which were held on the following Thursday evening. The Seventh and Eighth grade boys staged a preliminary game for the Sophomore and Senior girls. Although the Seniors had several more experienced players than the Sophs the game was close and the Seniors were able to win only in the last few minutes of play. The boys of the Sophomores and Seniors staged a real game, giving the spectators many a thrill, for the Sophs kept at the heels' of the older team at all periods in the game. The Seniors finished the tournament by winning from the Sophomores. This gives the Senior class a double honor having both of the High School champion teams.
