The ROCKET 1925 GWWID Boys Basketball After about two weeks practice, Coach Gallup picked the team to play the opening game which was scheduled with St. Anthony. Green Mountain 24-St. Anthony 15 Even thc first game showed the improvement in basketball to that played in previous years. Everyone did well. A new team was substituted in the last half. Green Mountain 11-Garwin 21 The local boys met the Garwin team on their floor and were defeated in what proved to be one of the fastest games of the season. Forward Moller did not play in this game. Green Mountain 9-Liscomb 13 This was another hard fought contest, one of the players being unable to play. With Captain Somers out of the lineup it did not work well. Green Mountain 25-Albion 12 The local boys gave Albion a great surprise by taking victory the second time on their home Hoor. The defence and offence worked out fine in this game. Green Mountain 19-Conrad 16 This was a hard game from start to finish. The local boys showed excellent pass- work and a good eye for baskets. Captain Somers brought about the majority for Green Mountain. Green Mountain 22-Liscomb 18 Green Mountain met their old rivals and handled them the first dcfeat in the history of G. M. H. S. Green Mountain 33-Beaman 9 Green Mountain proved to be too fast for another of their old rivals and took a one-sided victory on their floor. Green Mountain 25-Conrad 14 Again the local boys won a victory over Conrad's team somewhat surprising them. This being the last scheduled game of the season, nearly everyone followed the team and rooted for victory.
