The American Legion teams, men and women, took a doubleheader from the Front Royal Black Raiders Saturday night on the local court, but had a tough time in doing so. The men won by a score of 41-40 and the women by 39-26.
The men held sway throughout to avenge an earlier licking from the same team earlier in the season. Bill Lee led his team with 14 points, while Herman Lloyd registered nine, and Chester Rockwell scored 8.
The girls were slow in starting and were left at the post at the end of the first quarter 0-11. They picked up the pace in the second quarter and went ahead to stay in the third quarter. Skippy Armel again was high scorer with 18 points, while Peggy Fuller had 15.
Post 41 sponsored basketball teams during the 1950s that played other American Legion Posts and community teams.
