Geneva high school organized it's first basketball team in 1908. Mr. John D. Marshall came to Geneva in January
1908 as the assistant superintendent and science teacher. He immediately formed the first basketball team. The
team played well, although it won no games the first year.
Also first organized in 1908-09 was the Girl's Varsity basketball team. The girls won the county championship in
three consecutive years (1909, '10, '11), losing only two games in that time.
