1909 Girls Basketball Team
Coon Rapids, Iowa, High School
A couple of weeks ago, I featured the 1946 Girls Basketball Team in our home town of Coon Rapids, Iowa, winning the Iowa State Championship. Today, we feature 'where/when it all began.'
This is a clipping from the very first High School Annual in 1917, featuring the First Girl's Basketball Team in Coon Rapid, in 1909. P.S. The young lady on the left became a great-aunt of my wife, Nancy.
Families are Forever! ;-)
That's cool, Bill. I love girls' basketball. And I love the old fashioned names. (Great fiction writing resource you've got there. :))
ReplyDeleteGreat, Naomi; always wanted to be a "fiction writing resource!" Seriously, thanks for stopping by an leaving a comment. The names are neat, for sure! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a priceless photo! I hadn't realized that there were girl's basketball teams a hundred years ago.
ReplyDeleteThere were in Iowa, Sheryl. A long history! Thanks for the comment! ;-)
