How many trophies could this group have earned?

How many Northwest Conference sports trophies might have been added to the Bulldog trophy case had girls intra-school athletics existed when this photo was taken.

No one will know because intra-school athletics for girls was not permitted in the 1960s.

This is the next best thing: the Ada High School Girls Athletic Association (GAA). In it, girls played competitively among themselves.

This photo is from the 1965-66 school year.
