N I WZ Morrownian Memoirs i n rig T' . - ' GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM HEN speaking of our girls' Basketball team everyone feels a thrill of pride for this team is one that has given us cause to ,be proud because of its achievements. Most everyone would be interested in knowing of its struggle for championships. In the year of 1925 and 1926 a very good team represented Morrow High, but in the semi finals of the County Tournament it was defeated by Franklin. By this defeat they were forced to take third place. But still they did not give up but determined to do better the following year. The next year due to their determination and fighting spirit they played Franklin in the finals but were defeated by a small margin. Thus they had climbed up the ladder one more step and now stood second in the county. The season of 1927 and 1928 brought out one of the best teams that Morrow High has ever had. With greater determination than before they entered the tournament and by a large margin defeated their old opponent, Franklin, and were proclaimed County Champions. Not a single-defeat was handed the girls during the entire year. The present year showed the same old spirit and the only thing that caused even a slight pause in their progress was the removal of two old players because their four years had expired. Their successors showed real ability and during the last semester held their respective position down as well as any player on the team. Only one defeat was suffered by the girls during the entire season. At the tournament our team was again victorious so Morrow High girls are still Champions. Although four valuable players are leaving we know that Morrow High possesses students that have basketball ability. We are sure that the oncoming team will possess the same old fighting spirit and keep for them- selves the envied title of Champions YEMEN tx 1 ' 1:-: 1:-:fu :-: 1929 5-:xx-zxz-:xx-:x x j fl
