Bradley Senior Girls Basketball, 1955

Finally, it’s basketball season again.  As has been mentioned on bradleyark.com before, some of the most popular articles and photos on this site are sports-related.

In 1955, the Bradley Senior Girls Basketball team went to Nashville to compete in the District Tournament.  While gathered for a meal, they posed for the photo below.
