The Edgerton High School basketball
team went down in defeat before one
of the strongest high school fives in the
state in a game played at the high
school Friday night.
The score was 26 Is. It indicates an
exciting game. Stoughton won in the
first six minutes of play when they got
the jump on the local boys and ran the
score to 1872 After that the game
was nip and tuck
Stoughton plays splendid game of
basketball. Edgerton certainly fights
hard and tho defeated has no quitting
spirit. Every member of the high
school five played a gritty game and
the supporters of the team have no
ceuse to feel other than pride in the
five boys who represented the local
school
In preliminary game, team sup
posed to be the second Stoughton High

thriller, finally won in the last minute
of play by Stoughton.
