GIRL S SPORTS The girl’s basket ball team began their victorious season in early November with grim determination. Through hard work, with their able coach. Miss Irene Lee, they feel that they have been rewarded. All through the strenuous months the players work- ed, getting a little disgusted when defeated, but regaining confidence after having won. Most of the games ttiat were lost were due to the illness of members of the team. In late February the anxious team met Willis on our court to decide who would take the County Championship. Every player was at his best, and due to this and to hard playing, along with good sportsmanship, the Floyd girl’s took the County Championship for the first time in seven years. After one more game the 40-41 season ended. No player was sorry for the effort she put out, but each one is to try still harder next season to make Floyd girls basket- ball team an undefeated one. BOY’S SPORTS After practicing strenuously the Floyd High School Boy’s Team opened their 1940-41 season on their home court against Willis High. They were held in check the first quart- er but they managed to win going away, the final score being 34 to 16. This game showed clearly that lack of experience was a vital factor with which Coach Moore would have to cope. Of the first five Richard Williams, a senior was the only one with previous varsity experience. The team too was to be handicapped by lack of height , Illness and Ineligbility all season. Yet the team managed to overcome all of these obstacles and to have a rather successful season.winning nine and losing seven and being recognized as the County Champs . The outstanding games of the season were the two games with Shawsville and the Stuart and Check games played at Floyd. The Boys lost at Shawsville by two points and then won at home by a similar score in an exciting over time period. In the Stuart game Floyd put up a great fight to an exceptionally good team to lose only by six points. The Check game of course was the climax of the season with Floyd winning the game and the County Championship by the score of 24 to 19. Coach Moore experimented constantly with the line up during the entire season in an attemot to produce a winning combination. Richard Williams, Pete lusher, Fred Harman, Marvin Griffith and Morris Agee finally composed the first team. They were ably support- ed by Joe DeHart, Leo lusher, Henry Slusner and Rodolph Rakes. As only one man is being lost by graduation. Coach Moore is already waxing optimistic over prospects for a great 1941-42 season.
