1912 Macon High School 

Basketball Team

During the early part of the first semester the basket ball spirit took bold of the boys, but a regular team was not organized.

Just before the opening of the season the team was picked. At this time John Pile was elected captain and William Miller was made manager. The boys worked hard, but on account of our not having a gymnasium they were not able to schedule any games.

At the beginning of the second semester through the courtesy of the management of the Blees Military Academy the team was allowed to use their gymnasium for practice. Then the work began in earnest. Seven games.were played with various teams and although our team had no coach and was inexperienced it played in good form.

The team for the season of 1912 is the first boys' basket ball team of the Macon High school. But here's hoping that next year our boys will be interested enough in basket ball to form a winning team.
