    Giles Hoffer, coach at Etna Green High School, recalls that back in 1922 and '23 when he was playing basketball with Atwood High School, the Atwood squad had no gymnasium. However, the squad used to walk from Atwood to Warsaw, some six miles along the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, to practice at the Moose hall basketball floor. The 1922-23 teams at Atwood practiced outdoors on a dirt court. Now Atwood has a fine new basketball floor and gymnasium to start the season with.
