THE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SEASON 1937-38 When The Call for basketball practice came, about thirty girls attended. After a few weeks of practice, the long-awaited day came and the members of the first team were announced. They were: P. Camp, J. Stevens, B. Kwasniewski, H. Crabb, J. Prince, A. Straub, It. Conn, R. Koehler, P. Chalmers, I). Slater, M. Hal-pine and D. Law. Our first game on November 11, with Newtown, proved to be very exciting. This ended in our victory as did our next game with Bethel. Our-much-looked-for-ward-to game with Washington ended in our defeat. This slightly dimmed our chances for the championship. However, our next game with Woodbury brightened our chances. Much to our excitement we learned that our next opponent was Washington! This game was played at Newtown. The girls played the best game of the year. The first half ended with Washington five points in the lead. New Milford rallied in the last half allowing Washington only one basket. When the final whistle blew the score was 27-18 in favor of New Milford, which made us champions of the southern part of the Housatonic Valley League. The next Friday we won from Sharon and this made us the champions of both parts of the League. We ended our basketball season by having a banquet at the Hotel Green in Danbury. Our highly successful year was largely due to the coaching of Miss Rosemary Paris. The High School Basketball Team had a very successful season. They lost only one league game, defeated 15-13 by Bethel. Later in the season they beat Bethel in New Milford and again in the play-offs at Newtown. This gave the New Milford boys the Southern division championship and the right to play Sharon for the League championship. The boys again came through with a 38-22 win over Sharon. After winning two games in the elimination contest of the C and D tournament the boys lost in the quarter finals to a strong Thomaston team who had beaten New Milford previously. The score of the Thomaston game was 37-31. With the exception of Ghoines and Peagler the players will all graduate this June. THE BOYS’ BASKETBALL SEASON 1937-38
