Qairls' lgzzahefhall Ogiuuiuarg That the 1928-29 season fo the Perquimans County High School has been an unquali- fied success may be proved by a glance at the scores. The first two games, which were played against the team toward whom the spirit of rivalry is particularly strong- Elizabeth City-were not Conference games. In the first. a nip-and-tuck affair, our team came out victorious by one point: 33-32. The following week the Elizabeth City team came to Hertford prepared to win, but the fighting spirit of our girls beat them by a score Of 38-30. Our first Conference game. on Friday. December 7, was played at home with Bel- haveng it ended in our favor: 33-26. Next our team journeyed to Roanoke Rapids, where they won, after staging the most glorious come-back in their basketball history, by the score of 43-36. Only by each member playing harder in the second half than she had ever played before did the team win this breath-taking game. The two games with Woodland were forfeited to us by them, as they withdrew from the Conference. The Elizabeth City team then met us on our court, and our girls came out with the larger end of the score: 55-26. Our next combat, which was with Washington, was the fateful game, for we lost by only four lone points-which mars our record for this year. Then to Belhaven the team went, where with great ease they doubled the score: 44-22. The next game. with Rich Square, was easily won: 31-6. The other game with Roanoke Rapids, which was here, was won by fifteen points: 45-30. The last game with Elizabeth City was won by one point. while the final one with Washington was won by a margin of fourteen points. The Conference season was ended by the team walking over Rich Square: 51-15. Beyond a doubt, one of the most exciting games played was the one against Nor- folk College, the champoinship team of Tidewater Virginia, which ended 36-31-in our 1 favor. Thus ended the season that was the most successful we have yet had.
