Ain BY CV Sports Sports provided many moments of high excitement and a few moments of sad disappointment. Some of the highlights were coming from behind to win the football game against Mabank, finding both boy and girl athletes on the honors lists and winning the Mineola Track Meet. More depressing moments for the athletes and their fans were missing the district championship in football by losing the last game of the season to Malakoff, not getting to participate in the state track meet, and losing dis- trict basketball games by l point. From the first football scrim- mage game during the first week of school to the last baseball game in May, the year was filled with sports. And the exciting moments more than made up for the disappointments.

To Mesquite in the Mud Basketball was the most popu- lar sport in the 1920's and 3O's. Miss Adelle Presswood recalls playing on the team in 1929-30. There wasn't 'state' to look forward to, but we got to play until the end of the season. Back in those days we had muddy roads and when we played in Mesquite, it was muddy roads most of the way up there. When we went out that Friday night and l looked around and saw people from Grand Saline that had braved those old muddy roads in the weather to get up there, it just really made me feel proud. We had very loyal fans too. Those kids could play ball back in those days. Tl-lAT'S THE WAY IT WAS in 1929. BELOW: The 1929 Indian Girls Basketball team members were Csittingl Nellie Cook, Rachael Clark, Opal Allen, Verlie Mae Stewart, Bonnie Warn, Cstandingj Adelle Presswood, Coach Willie Gilmore, Wal- deen Lynch, Adene Attaway, Lila Dee Rushing, Bonnie Thompson, and Gleith Clark. iPhoto contributed by Adelle Press- wood.
