Description
Anna L. Heafner, Eunice "Dolly" Hickman, and Maude Pratt describe their experiences playing basketball in the Steele Creek area of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (now part of Charlotte) during the 1930s. They talk about how many of the girls who played high school basketball were athletic from farm work, playing games in the gymnasium, and broad community support for the school team.
