Scoring by inches five seconds by the timer’s watch be. fore the first half ended, Grass Valley had all she could do to hold her 6 to 0 lead until the end of the game. The visiting team deserves credit for winning a mighty)tough game. ‘Coach Bill Wilson’s charges . played a snapply brand of bait throughout the game and were heads up all the time.
