played an outstanding game
together instead of competing
against each other as they did
during the regular season.
West team coach Flossie Finn
said it was a great experience for
her.
“It’s the third time I have
coached the West team and I
believe this year was the best of the
three,” Finn said. “It was good to
coach ‘my own girls for the last
time.
“The girls place a lot of value on
the game and many of them sacri-
ficed a lot to get to practice and to
play. We never had as good a
turnout as we did this year, all but
two of the 18 girls were there. We
had a super crowd for the game.

People are beginning to give the
girls the recognition they deserve.
“All the girls got along together
very well but I was pleased to see
Dallas and Lake-Lehman together.
That’s the way it should be.”
Finn said she and George
McCutcheon founded the Kiwanis
game. 3
“McCutcheon was in the barber
shop when I was talking to my
such. a game,’ the Lehman coach
said. McCutcheon said he thought
Dallas Kiwanis could sponsor such a
game. He looked into it and the next
year - 1979 - we played the first
game.
“It’s ironic, that year there were
five Lake-Lehman girls on the team
. gis Wie
Keystone coaches
and Lake-Lehman had won the Dis-
trict Conference,” Finn added.
“Now five years later, it’s the same
pattern - five girls and we're dis-
trict champs.”
McCutcheon said that for years
the boys teams got all the attention,
but the girls got no recognition.
“Since we’ve been sponsoring this
game, I believe the girls get a lot of
personal satisfaction. They" know
they ‘have earned recognition and
many have received scholarships
because often the game is scouted.
Throughout the year the various
schools hear about some of
he girls
but don’t get a chance to scout
them. This end of the season game
gives them an excellent opportunity.
i
There’s no way of knowing how far-
reaching it is.
McCutcheon said it also gives the
girls one more opportunity to meet
each another, perhaps for the last
time. It is also the last chance for
all the seniors to play with other
girls of similar ability.
“The game also encourages more
girls to try out for softball next
year,” said McCutcheon.
West took a 4-0 lead in the first
inning, runs Coach Pinn considered
unearned because the girls were
used to the field. ,
“I’m glad we scored five more,
because they were earned runs
said Finn. “It was a well playea
game. The pitchers did a good job
but the girls were powerful at the
plate.”
