Our Girls' Basketball team was first organized in the early part of the school year of 1926-1927.  Our first year seemed successful, and we again organized a team this year.  At the meeting held in September the following officers were elected:
                                    Captain.......................................................Donna Wilcox
                                    Manager.....................................................Irene Kirkland
                                    Coach.........................................................Miss Frances Johnson
 
The regular team consisted of the following girls:
                                   Right Forward...................................Evelyn Lawrence, Beverly Ostrander
                                   Left Forward.....................................Irene Kirkland
                                   Center...............................................Gladys Hawkins
                                   Right Guard......................................Ellen Weeks
                                   Left Guard........................................Donna Wilcox
                    Subs:  Louise Vincent, Frances Godfrey, Mary Collar, Ruth Whitman, Betty Dunham
 
Although we did not always win, we tried to take our defeat as all true sports should.  Most of our games were played with independent teams composed of older girls.  Nevertheless, out of eleven games, we won eight, making our average 73%.

The Athletic Association has again played a big role in the life of the Bainbridge High School.  For the purpose of organizing a basketball team, a meeting was held in September, and the following officers were elected:
                                          Captain...................................................Alfred  Hohreiter
                                          Manager..................................................John Loudon
                                          Coach......................................................F.J. Casey
 
The following are the first team players:
                                          Alfred Hohreiter.....................................Center
                                          Marshall Andrews..................................Right Forward
                                          John Davidson, Elverton Hoyt, Philip Roberts...Guards
 
The following are the second team players:
                         Orlin Hitchcock, Millard Howland, Renwick Walling, Clifford Loudon,
                         Robert Parsons, Lloyd Johnson...............................Forwards
                         Henry Cheesbro, Randolph Lewis..........................Centers
                         Karl Nickel, Donald Loudon, William Hohreiter, Kenneth Hoyt---Guards
 
We are proud of the sportsman manner in which the boys played and also for the spirit and enthusiasm which they showed.  Although not always victorious, the support given them by the interested on-lookers more than made up for their loss.  The able coaching of Mr. Casey was greatly appreciated and let us not forget our Captain "Al" who led the boys so nobly into every game.
