Female Athletes from 1949 to 1976 to finally receive their letters


Pioneer Pirates receive letters at February 4th ceremony click here for more photos
 

On February 4, 2006, the Marshfield High School Athletic Department awarded a Varsity Letter to all Marshfield female athletes who competed in OSAA (Oregon Scholastic Activities Association) sports programs prior to 1976. Over 160 female student-athletes represented Marshfield in varsity sports from 1949 to 1976.  Letters were awarded to these individuals at a reception held in the Marshfield High School cafeteria in the late afternoon on February 4th. Later that evening, during the half time of the Marshfield vs. Lebanon Girls Basketball game, the recipients of these Letters were honored in front of our hometown crowd!

As you may recall, commencing in 1976, Marshfield High School began awarding Letters to all of its Varsity team athletes, both male and female. These are the team sports for women and the year that the OSAA began sanctioning each sport
