Girls’ Basketball HIS year Mt. Sidney High School was represented by one of the best teams we ever put on the court. The season’s opening was very satisfactory for the coach. The old players showed much improvement over their former years of playing, and also the substitutes of the former years showed great improvement and looked as though they would fill the vacancies of the last . With plenty of good coaching and practice, the team came out best teams put out by the school in many years, s opening showed that we would be represented by and would have a fighting team who hoped to conquer the championship. We started off with victory after victory, but were unfortunate to lose one of our forwards—a senior girl. While getting a new forward into shape we were not as successful as before, but soon we were back and again proving our strength. Cline, who had won her letter for three successive years, was our outstand¬ ing player. We have no fear in saying that she is one of the best guards, or the best guard, ever to play in the Augusta County High School. The coach was for¬ tunate to have such a player, and therefore he based the team upon this player. Click, our forward, who was always up and going, proved without doubt to be our best forward. Having two more years to play on the teams, she helped to put the team in front. Moore, our outstanding side center, has won much credit for what the team has been in the last few years. She was always fighting with that never give up spirit which helped to gain for the team the name of hard fighters. Hawkins, the best center we have had for several years, being a newcomer to the school and to the team, won the good opinion of all who have seen her play, as the best center, and she also puts much life into the team. Link, a substitute guard of last year, showed much improvement over her former years of playing. She was always able to break up the opponent’s shot, and was found wide awake with plenty of life. She has several more years to play, and we are sure she will be a great help to the team. Huffman, a fairly good shot, proved to be a fairly good forward. She was quite small, but we are sure that our opponents will agree she was plenty hard to keep up with. Another one of the players who will help to put the school on top in the coming years. Cline, Hawkins, and Moore without doubt were the most outstanding players. We are sorry to see them leave because of graduation, but wish them the most of success in the future.
