The “Irish” joined the South Douglas County Baseball League this year, for the first time since 1937 whan they won the championship in a game with Days Creek. Only two boys were missing from last years team when the “Irish” lined up for the first tryout of this year. The boys worked hard and although they won only the last game they hope to develop a winning team and make a better showing for themselves. All boys who were present from last years team took the same position they had played before and few changes took place in the lineup.

1941 Basketball Season Another year of school, another basketball season on the books, and knowing that basketball is the major boys sport, we feel that special stress should be made of our efforts, disappointments and all that happened to ten boys who tried very hard for their school. We weren’t first place in the county, or second. Third place? No, we wern’t third or fourth. After all, honors are not always so important and we hope that in the eyes of our school we have been successful. Mr. Gordon Frazee was our new coach this year. We pay tribute to Mr. Harter, who has been our coach for the past four years, and to Mr. Frazee, for his companionship, understanding, and patience in his first year as our director of basketball and our coach in other athletics. We started the year with four lettermen: Eugene Carpenter, James Nichols, Jerry Sackett, and Edward Hart. To these four, Glenn Gillispie was added to make the fifth man of the team. Elwood Townsend, William Randall, Ford Lady, George Hamlin, and Lyle Walker were the other boys who were picked to fill out the team making the total number ten. A total of 11 games were played this year, eight of these were conference games and the others independent and conference teams from out side districts. The “Irish” made a flying start by defeating Wilbur 37 to 10 in their first game of the year. But by losing a game now and then all through the season we were finally edged out of going to the turnament at the last end of the season by losing our next to the last game of the year in a bout with Days Creek on our home court. In our games we have tried to show good clean sportsmanship and fair competition and are sure those whom we have played against have ail done the same. -(37)-
