In the third game of the
season the girls basketball team of Evergreen met and defeated Opp by the score
of 31-29. Swift pass work and clever shooting made this game interesting to
everyone and action was the keynote in their line of play.
Star forward work was done by
Kelly. Wild did some splendid playing. This is her first year in basketball,
and we are going to hear more of her before the season is open. The line up was
as follows: Forwards: Kelly and Wild, Guards: Snowden and Lily Johns, Centers:
Bowers and Mildred Johns with Parker substituting.
The first game the local
girls played was with Lyeffion. They defeated Lyeffion by a score of 20-19.
Their second game was with Brooklyn and the Evergreen girls walked off with
another victory. The score at the end of the game was 45-10.
These girls are indeed a
credit to the splendid coaching they have received from Mr. J.M. McReynolds.
