NATALIA — Representatives
from 12 Class B high schools met
in Uvalde Wednesday, Oct. 26,
and decided to organize a South-
west Texas Girls Basketball
I eague for Class B Schools.
Ben U. Cumalander of Big
Wells was elected chairman and
recording and corresponding secre-
tary of the association.
Schools represented were Asher-
ton, Barksdale, Big Wells, Camp
Wood, Knippa. Leakey, LaCoste,
LaPryer, Natalia, Sabinal, Utopia
and Yancey-Moore.
The group was divided along
the same lines as the lnterscholas-
tic League for boys, thus placing
Asherton, Big Wells, Camp Woo l
Barksdale, -Knippa, and LaPryer
in the west zone, ana Leakey, La*
Coste, Natalia. Sabinal, Utopia,
apd Yancey-Moore in the east
zone.
i he championship of each zone
is to be determined in a tourna-
ment to be he k1 simultaneously
in each zone on Feb. 24 and 25.
This date was chosen so as not to
conflict with the Golden Girls
'1 "Urney. The east zone champion-
ship tourney is to be held in
Natalia, and the west zone cham-
pionship tourney is to be held
either in Asherton or Big Wells.
Both the winner and runner up
teams in each district will then
meet to determine the bi-district
championship. The host school is
to provide the trophies for each
meet.
The league was organized in
an effort to provide regular play
for the girls until the Interscholas-
tic League sees fit to take over
the sport.
