Although the Hornets were co-champions in 1949 they had a rough year on the hardwood, as they won three of their games by only two points and lost one game by one point. After defeating Bendle in the opening game of the tournaments, Kearsley was upset by a fast-moving Flint Tech team, 31-34. This eliminated them from further play in the competition. The tournament season brought disappointment to the Kearsley team as well as to the loyal supporters who had cheered them throughout a successful season.

FIELD HOGKEY I 949 Field hockey, an old sport for girls, was revived at Kearsley last fall by Miss Esther Silver, the new girls' coach. This fast-moving game ofhcially opened girls' sports in three schools, Kearsley, Beecher, and Carman. These games of field hockey were rapid and rough. The action revolves around the center, who must be quick enough to get the ball to her side by driving it to either of the half-backs or wings. They then try to dribble or drive to the opposite goal in order to score. The Held is similar to a football field with a SO- and 25-yard line. Kearsley won the first game of the season from the Beecher High School team. Becchcr was held scoreless with a score of 2-0. In a game with Carman, Kearsley again triumphed by a score of 3-2. Kearsley's last game of the season was with Carman. Carman lost to Kearsley by L1 siorc of 3-1. The standing of the hockey season ended with Beecher taking first place with one loss, one tie, and two wins. Kearsley came in second with two wins and two losses. Carman took third place with two losses and one win. At the end of the season the tenth and eleventh grade girls gave a supper in honor of the senior girls on the team. During the season, Marjorie Giertz acted as timer and scorekeeper and Vivian Clark was manager of the team. P596 60 The 7949 KEARSLECHO
