Let's Hear It

Let's hear it for the team that never won. The girls basketball stars so often unsung, they rarely scored and fans would rarely come. Still they played attempting to break the empty record of never having won except in persistent dedication ledgers. The boys got the cheerleaders and the well attended pep rallies loud but the girls team ran and played without a cheering crowd. The boys team was all harrah, close to the state championship to enter down at the crowded Atlantic City convention center. The team of girls went along, singing the high school song Go Lions, Go; the Lionettes were resilient and strong. Today, after all the hullabaloo faded memories celebrate fifty year out of school, who remember all those escapades can any of you say? Let's hear it anyway, cheers for the girls that played.
