#1 The Cement Lady Bulldogs were a high school basketball team in southwest Oklahoma. They were battling their rival, the Fletcher Lady Wildcats, for the district championship and the right to play in the regional tournament. Doll Harris was a senior forward who made almost half of the field goals she attempted and nearly all of the free throws.

#2 When Doll heard someone call her name, she turned to see her coach, Mr. Daily, motioning her over to where he was standing with a broad-shouldered man wearing a black suit and a silk tie. He offered her financial aid to play basketball at Oklahoma Presbyterian College for Girls.

#3 Doll knew she could never leave Caddo County. She had grown up surrounded by endless acres of crops, pasture, and wild, open plains. She couldn’t disappoint Mr. Daily, who had arranged for Mr. Babb to watch her play.
