Girl's Basketball The girls' basketball team held its first practice in November, 1941. Miss Hill, our coach, was very much pleased with the number of girls who came out for prac- tice. Twelve girls were chosen to represent Export. Again we were successful in getting new basketball uniforms, which added much to our dignity. We girls opened our season by defeating the Alumni 16 to 12. Next we met the Saltsburg team, losing 39 to 12. Franklin Twp. our next opponent, eked out a close 15 to 13 victory over us. Avonmore also trimmed us 40 to 12. Then we traveled to Bell Twp. where we were defeated 27 to 12. On February 11 Saltsburg beat us 30 to 24 on their own floor. We shall never forget one of our Seniors, Mary Belczyk, who was the star of that game. On Friday, February 13, we won a glorious victory over the Franklin Twp. girls, 11 to 10. The last two games of the season, however, we lost to Avonmore and to Bell Twp. Thus ended our second year of Senior basketball competition, with only a few vic- tories chalked up, but with fine experience and true sportsmanship gained by these contests. Export will miss the following girls who have been on the team for four years:- Mary Belczyk, Isabelle Cherellia, Betty Laughlin, and Wilma Restauri. Page Twen ty-seven

Basketball The Export basketball team is proud to say that its second year in the W. P. I. A. li. competition has been a highly-successful season. The Panthers under the supervision of Coach Bruce McHail opened their pro-lea- gue season by dropping a nip-and-tuck contest. to the Penn Twp. Indians. On Dec- ember l2. 15441. we lost our second pre-league game to Trafford. Later in a return game we trimmed the Penn Twp. quintet 33 to 21. The following Tuesday we tra- veled to Trafford and easily defeated them 31 to 14. On January ti. 1942 our first Section 21, W. P. l. A. L. game was played losing a hotly-contested battle to Elders Ridge. Three days later we won our tirst victory over the Washington Twp. five, 28 to 23, on the latter's floor. Un January 123 we chalked up another win by trouncing the Saltsburg boys 28 to 18. Franklin Twp. was our third victim, losing to us 34 to 27. The following week Avonmore handed us our second reverse, winning by a 31 to 29 score. llowt-ver, our Panthers clawed out a fourth virtory over the licll Titp. passers, 3-1 to 32. The next two league games we dropped to Apollo and Elders Ridge, making our record four wins and four losses. Then in quick sur-c-ession we scored a fifth, sixth, and seventh victory over Washington Twp.. Saltsimrg. and Franklin Twp. respectively. Our record was now 7 victories and 4 defeats. We then fell into a slump, losing the last three games to Avonmore. Bell Twp.. and the league leaders Apollo. When the season ended, we were in fifth place, with 7 wins and 7 loses, or a percentage of 500. ln the Westmoreland County Tournament at Greensburg our floormen drew a bye in the first round, and in the second round we were eliminated by the strong North Bellevernon five.
