Out of L8 scheduled games, the Trojanettes came through with l5 wins and 3 losses. The girls started out with nine straight victories over Lytton, Wall Lake, Arthur, Lake View, Auburn, Nemaha, Battle Creek, Arthur, and Sulphur Springs. ln the early part of the season Coach Hamann was uncertain as to whom he should use for forward. ln the usual line up were Janet Ogden, Jo Bye, Mary Lou Auen, Nancy Witt, and Dorothy Bengford. Jane Teaquist was moved from forward to guard in the i950 season. Later on in the season, three of these girls developed into a set of forwards unequaled in ability in the entire county-sharp shooting Nancy Witt, who scored 2l6 points during her season of l8 games and averaged page forty-four l2.0 points per game, Dorothy Bengford, shifty and fast on her feet, who tallied l44 points for an average of 8.4 points per game, and Janet Ogden, coolest play- er on the floor, only a sophomore but playing like a veteran. Her ability to fake her opponents out was a definite factor in her scoring of 233 points, averaging l3.3 points per game. Not enough praise can be given to the Trojanettes guards. Their skill in handling their opponents contri- buted more to the spectacular season than the average sport fan could detect. The guards were led by Senior Marilyn Olberding, tall and tough. Her position as pivot guard prevented many points from being scored against the Trojanettes. Others were Senior Margaret Bengford, who had more power behind a pass than anyone on the court, Marlene Albrecht, who never gave up regardless of how hard things looked, and Lois Rohlf, scrappy and not afraid to hit the floor once in a while. lt was this combination of guards and forwards that pulled Odebolt through with the Sac County Championship trophy which they took from Lytton in the final round, 44-23. lt was a proud group of girls who walked up to the desk to receive the trophy award that they had worked so hard for. But it was a heart- broken group who walked off the floor of the Schaller gym, defeated in the first round of the Sectional Tourna- ment by Wall Lake 27-26, whom the Trojanettes had previously mauled 35-27. The girls missed the offensive work of Janet Ogden who was ill that night. The girls breezed through the rest of the season with a loss of only three games for the entire season- Holstein, Wall Lake, and Galva. Ogden, Witt and Bengford developed a one-two punch that every Tro- janette opponent feared. These girls will be together again next year. Marilyn and Margaret will step out of the guard spot but will be replaced by others. The girls should have an exceptionally good record again next year. Congratulations to a fine team and Coach.

MARLENE ALBRECHT-Guard. For Marlene's first year of varsity competition she certainly showed drive and that love to win. She has a lot of guarding ability and know how. We are expecting a lot of basketball from Marlene next year. NANCY WITT-Forward. A girl who really loves to play basketball. She's a junior and if she learns how to score from under that basket as well as from out she will be a top threat next year to any team. MARILYN OLBERDING-Guard. Captain in the back court. Ding was a key-cog in the Odebolt defense. lt was she who held Lytton's tall pivot forward to two free throws in the finals of the County Tournament. We will cer- tainly miss her under that defensive basket. DOROTHY BENGFORD-Forward. Captain in the forward court. Dorothy certainly showed what determination can do. She started slow at the beginning of the season but kept fight- ing until she made that first string. Then she played harder still which shows a good basket- ball spirit. MARGARET BENGFORD-Guard. Margaret proved that players do not have to be tall. You need only to fight and do lots of it. Margie could always be counted upon to do top notch jobs when she went into that line JANET ODGEN-Forward. A girl who never gives up. She has pulled many games out of the fire by her ability to fake her guard out of position, and shoot. Janet with two years of competition left should prove to be trouble for many opposing teams. This winter she was even shoveling the snow from the walks to be able to practice on the court at home. LOIS ROHLF Guard. A worker who took her work very seriously. One could tell Lois what to do and she knew exactly how to do it. Her outstanding game this year was against Lytton in the County Championship game when she constantly out-maneuvered her forward, hold- ing the team to 4 free throws the last half. JANE TEAQUIST-Forward-Guard. Jane, at the beginning of the year, played mostly in the forward court. Later she proved she could play equally well in either court. She was constant- ly, at the end of the year, pushing those girls for first team position. She's an all-around good basketball player. page forty-five
