GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The Tigerettes enthusiastically answered the call to baskethall and opened their season with a crushing 36-16 victory over Amelia. The j)asswork, shooting and guarding — in fact, the general s] irit of the team in this first game, marked them as a pos.sihle contender for the county championship. The team was sue- ce.s.sful until the Tigerettes met the fast charging Diuwiddie team, last year’s champions, and went down after leading for three (piarters, by a 41-34 score. The Tigerettes reached their hig ' he.st peak of the season when they defeated the strong Blackstone team by a 21-13 score. The most exciting game of the season was played on the home court when the game between IMidway and IMcKenney ended in a deadlock with a 17-17 score. The Tigerettes will present another strong combination next year, though the I laces left by the loss of Captain Allen, Spain, Watkins, Williams and Lewis will he hard to 611. 1938-19.39 BASKPITHALL SCORES Oct. 12 — ] lid way 36 Amelia . . , . , 16 Oct. 14 — Midway 34 Dinwiddie . . 41 Oct. 18 — IMidway 48 Darvills . 19 Oct. 27 — Midway 20 Blackstone . . 13 Xov. 4 — Midway 14 Dinwiddie . 21 Xov. 8 — IMidway 22 Amelia 14 Xov. 1 1 — Midway 38 Darvills .... 6 Xov. 15 — IMidway 9 Cai son 8 Xov. 18 — IMidway 17 IMcKenney 17 Xov. 22 — IMidway 26 Carson 15
