Sport Center Saturday - 1909 Girls Basketball Team


Sport Center Saturday
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!  ;-)
