Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Sam Babb, the coach of the O. P. C. basketball team, was searching for the best players from the high school senior girls in 1931. He often traveled the road alone, from the Arbuckle Mountains to the Wichitas, the Red River to the Arkansas.

#2

Babb visited the home of Doll Harris, a recruit he was trying to recruit. He explained to her parents that she would be the first Harris to go to college. They were excited and proud.

#3

Sam Babb was a circuit preacher in charge of establishing new churches for the Christian Church. He would spend more time with his horse, Bible in saddlebags, than with his family.

#4

The author’s father was a preacher, and he would often leave his body during sermons to warn people about the dangers of lust, pride, and arrogance. He would then follow himself home or to his next appearance.

#5

When the family returned home, Babb decided to replace a rotten fence post. His father had a prayer meeting the next county over, so he asked his wife to shine his shoes and press his newest suit, while he went to the barn to curry-comb Ezekiel.

#6

When Babb’s father went insane and threatened to kill his sons, Babb stepped in between his father and his brothers. His father then tried to drag him across the floor, but Babb’s mother intervened. The doctor had to amputate Babb’s leg.

#7

Babb’s mother changed bandages, applied antiseptic to prevent infection, and made nourishing meals such as bone soups from simmered whole chickens and root vegetables. She gave him white willow and valerian herbs to calm him and help him sleep.

#8

The author’s father was a minister, and when he was 18, he applied to divinity school. The seminary school responded by saying that he may have a great ability to sermonize, but he must also be able to forcefully and powerfully deliver them to the listener’s heart.

#9

Babb was eventually accepted to the Oklahoma teacher’s college, and he and Mata moved to Arapaho, a county seat in Custer County. They lived there for several years, and Babb eventually became the school superintendent.

#10

Superintendent Babb wanted to build a gymnasium, but the town’s farmers and ranchers didn’t want to pay taxes for it. They thought it was a weed that would take over their fields.

#11

The game of basketball was invented by James Naismith in 1891, and school girls began playing it in 1893. The conservative women’s physical educators who oversaw girls’ and women’s sports were infuriated by the Amateur Athletic Union’s decision to accept qualified women’s teams into its organization in 1922.

#12

The rules for girls and boys were different under the AAU guidelines.
