Girl Edenites Trounce Pine Hill
When Joyce 'Any Angle' Nagle opened up with some of her long-hidden and secretly practiced corner shots,pop-shots and trick passes here Friday, Jan. 17th, a good looking Pine Hill basketball crew went home defeated. Joyce's running mate, Caroline Shue, also accounted for a considerable amount of Pine Hill's worries. Mary 'Toughy' Lardo surprised the audience with her long hidden ability also, to score a total of nine points which made her of no little notice in the first half. Joyce performed her best,piling up 20 of the locals' 34 points. Miss Shue caused 8 of the Edenites honors. Five of the locals cager's favors weremade when the Guenther family, Ruth, the older and Carol, the younger,got on the floor. Be sure this family caused Pine Hill plenty of trouble, the younger doing the scoring. That same old, trusty defense Caroline Plesko, Marjorie Ryther, who almost went to the fire after the game,and Jean Brown help off Pine Hill's offensive. Miss Marjorie was never substituted for during the whole match, in which she played a strong, steady defense. Jean Brown, with the ability to pass a ball like Babe Didrickson, made brilliant recoveries and prevented many shots. Caroline Plesko held down her side of the defense in fine style, her injured back being entirely forgotten.
It was the 5th victory for the Edenites. Thet took charge of the affair from the opening whistle, keeping an average of 12 points ahead of the invaders at the end of every quarter.
