Following a tied score at halftime, John Marshall managed to down the Lady Basketeers 30 to 25 in the last minutes of play. Later in the season, the Ladies were easily able to defeat John Marshall and won the second game 61 to 24. Displaying skill and enthusiasm, the girls were able to attain a sizable lead over Hope- well and won the game 46 to ||. Losing to Colle- giate 27 to 31 and Saint Gertrudes 16 to 39 only encouraged the team to beat arch rivals St. Cath- erine's and Thomas Jefferson, 5! to 26 and 52 to 31 respectively. Using zone defense, the Ladies beat Petersburg 43 to |5. The Basketeers made a fine showing at the All Prep Basketball Tournament held at George Wythe. Their two wins over John Marshall 19 to 4 and Thomas Jefferson 16 to 5 were results of the ex- ceptionally fine coaching of Miss Betty Snellings and the typical Bulldog spirit. Unfortunately the La- dies were forced to bow to Collegiate 4 to 19. After lunch it was announced that Sarah Holt and Barbara Hall made the All Prep First Team and Jean Hendricks made the All Prep Reserve Team. With this, the girls ended a successful season.
