Bronaugh Basketball - 1924

The Bronaugh Journal of February 6, 1924 scolded the Nevada newspaper for not covering a big victory by Bronaugh's girl's basketball team. So they ran a large picture and article about the successes.

The players are identified as (l to r):

  • Top Row: Mildred Loud, Effie Daugherty, Dorris Daugherty
  • Middle Row: Marie Brubaker, Gladys Linn, Lee Earl Thompson

Bottom Row: Dallas Sherrell, Evelyn Linn

 

The article below was from the same newspaper issue and gives additional details about the team. Its especially interesting to see the number of technical fouls. It was either a rough game, or technicals were called on a different standard back then. PS - Please don't be offended by the Junior Class Activity that is described near the end of the article. Remember, it was 1924.

The old newspaper photo is quite grainy. If anyone has an original scan of the picture, we could replace the newspaper one.
