Washington Girls Triumph as Muscatine Upsets Boys
In Muscatine last night the Washington high school girls defeated Muscatine 16 to 14 while the local boys fell 17 to 8. Washington played a strong game despite inexperience and foul disparity, with Hill defense and Marshall scoring two field goals. The girls’ improved second half erased an 11 to 4 halftime deficit, and substitutions included Davidson for Livingston and Starr for Macon as Washington’s lineup featured Young and Davis at forwards with Caldwell center.
