The Mattawan girls team started off the season with all but a few regular players. Last year we lost two members of the team by graduation. This year one by marriage. We found some good material for our team in the girls that have Just started. They enjoy working together and have made a good showing in team work. Miss Margaret Morgan, the new coach, ordered new suits for the team and they are very proud of them. The girls haven't had too much luck in winning all their games this year but have a good chance in the future basketball seasons. With more experience and practice we hope they will have better luck.
