Ahle Coaching hy Mrs. Louise Stone was evidenced hy the Fine sportsmanship-like mannet displayed throughout the season by the team. The Board of Education sponsored the Annual Invitation 'liournament for Prince Georges County high school teams. The Greenbelt girls were first matched with Laurel, whom we lam- basted by nine points. This entitled us to play against Maryland Park in the semi-hnals. As we had defeated them once on our court and lost to them one game on their court, the out- come of this important tournament game played on the neutral court of Ritchie Coliseum was any man's game, The score was 17-18, their favor. An invitation to the Evening Star Tournament is a goal for which every local high school strives. We were entered to play the tall Virginians from Washington and Lee High School, who had known no defeat. But although we played a good gatne against them, with a lead of seven to six in the first quarter, we also were defeated. What our leillll lacked in height was made up by agility and accuracy in handling the hall. The team's excellent season was clitnaxetl by the presentation of miniature gold basket- balls to its members hy Lou Gerstel, local sports enthusiast. M81
