GIRLS' BASKETBALL The New Troy Trojanettes started off the 1948-49 season with an enrollment of nineteen members--Jeannine Boyd, Alice Schaffer, Eleanor Woodrick, Mary Ellen Penland,' Norma Perksen, LaVonne Clay, Marilyn Weaver, Elsie Knapp, Alice Brightbill, Joan Ackerman, Sharon Scott, Dona Brackett, Dorothy Srnec, Mary Ann Hinz, Charmaine Holtz, Jean Bammann, Suzanne Johnson, Rosanne Spaulding, and Betty Erickson. . . The Trojanettes opened their season by playing the Undefeated Bisonettes who haven't lost a game in the past three years of play. After a poor showing in the first quarter the team settled down and played good ball, but due to our lack of zone defense training the Bisonettes could not be stopped---defeating us Z9-17. . . Jeannine Boyd scored twelve points while M. Kissman of New Buffalo scored sixteen points. Next game again with the Strong Bisonettes ....... Using a zone defense our guards held New Buffalo to a 19-10 half-time score. During the last quarter guard Elsie Knapp, who was guarding M. Kissman, suffered a sprained ankle, enabling Kissman to make twelve points during the last quarter ...... Jeannine Boyd tipped in twenty two points while M. Kissman scored twenty eight for New Buffalo. . . Final score 45-28. At the beginning of the second semester New Troy acquired a new member, Nilma Taylor, guard, who replaced guard Elsie Knapp who was lost after her casualty in the New Buffalo game. . . Our first victory for this season came when we defeated Coach Sharpe's St. Johns Girls team ZZ-11. St. John's made a great number of fouls allowing us to make some free throws, . . Jeannine Boyd scored fourteen points while Garlanger on St. John's 47

During the first part of February our girls had the brain storm to play the members of the Faculty.

The teams consisted of the entire girls' squad and the following members of the faculty: Mr. DeMooy, Mr. Guse, Mrs. Tibbles, Miss Wire, Miss Miller, Mrs. Van Dyke, Mrs. Hutchison, and Miss Edinger. It was those tricky long passes back and forth across the court between DeMooy and Guse that kept the spectators eyes rolling.
