it's a girl's game

According to basketball historian Bob Adams Indiana high school girls began playing basketball before the turn of the 20th Century and many schools only fielded girls teams, because "basketball, in the early days, was considered by many to be a 'sissy' sport."  Those teams flourished throughout the state until the Great Depression & World War 2 brought that early history to an end.  In 1975 the IHSAA once again sanctioned girls basketball and 1976 saw the Warsaw Tigers crowned the state's first official post war champion.  Our recent trip to Mooresville's Newby Gym and Indian Creek  (home of the Braves) opened the 2017-18 campaign and girls basketball was on full display.  From those just beginning their hard court careers to those near the end, the second act of Indiana high school girls basketball is no longer just on the sidelines, but firmly in control of the stage.  CGS.
