DUNCANVHTLE GIRLS
DOWN MESQUITE
The Mesquite High Girls took
lanother drubbing Friday night at
the hands of the Duncanville
Sextet by a score of 24-19. This
is the second loss in as many
starts for the Mesquitoes, but
they are due to hit their stride
with another week or two of
practice. The Mesquite girl's loss
was largely due to the illness of
Olivia Sellers, star center of the
team. Olivia is expected to he
back, when Mesquite plays Buck-
ner's this week. The girls don't
like the idea of getting beaten
three in a row and you can bet
that they will give Buckner's all
they have. ,t
