The 1949-50 Girls' Basketball Season The Hamburg High School Girls' Basketball Team closed a fourteen game season with a record of four won and ten lost. ln every phase of the game the team showed improvement over those of recent years. Defensive play was stronger than the offense as was indicated by Hamburgs scoring a season total of 367 points to their opponents' 459. Prospects for next year are excellent because of the large number of experienced players expected to return and some excellent prospects who will come in from the elementary school. The squad is losing but three members, Marjorie Martin, Elaine Hamilton, and Mary Ann Fletcher through graduation. Twenty-one letters were awarded. Those receiving one year letters were-A Virginia Conaway, Pat McCall, Betty Perry, Lois McLaughlin, Barbara Fletcher, Marlene Shelton, Dolly White, Ioyce Hamilton, Diane lohnson, Elaine Hamilton, Beverly Beverlin, and Donna Simpson, two-year letter, Carolyn Erbg three- year letters, Marilyn Armstrong, Virginia Osborn, Marjorie Martin, three-year and captain, Betty Barrett, and Loleta Carpenter: a four-year letter to Mary Ann Fletcher. Managers' letters were awarded to Norma Pennington and Ruth English. Superintendent Hickman worked long and hard to coach the girls in well- grounded fundamentals which should pay off in the next few years. i,,,'

In the first games the boys were just learning HOW the game of basketball was played. After learning the fundamentals the team started on the upgrade. Towards the middle of the season they had a 6-game winning streak. The quintet entered the County Basketball Tournament and placed third. With a little more experience they entered the Sectional Tournament and placed first, which entitled them to go on to the District Tournament, where they were beat out by Glenwood. Even though handicapped by lack of size and experience the basketball team turned in a good record of 11 wins and 11 losses. Norman Brown placed on the All-Southwest Con- ference Basketball Team. r j 1 L - ' ,Q 2' xi' Y '- V ' I , L ..... . 'Fe' f . : ' Z- U, ..
