1950 Grainola State Basketball Team

Now who knew about this one?  Grainola had what is considered the 39th best sports teams in Oklahoma!
this is not the 1950 team but it is a Grainola team

I have been trying to figure out who was on that team and would love to have a picture so help me if you can.  Here is my best guess at the players.

Deanie Fulsom (Jim and Clarissa's mom) (Heath)
Mildred Kelly - actually I don't know her maiden name
Wessene  Fulsom (Heath)
Joan Woods (Mildred's sister)
Clara Fay Fulsom (Deanie's sister)
???? Bartgis (June Johnston's sister or cousin, Dee Johnson's aunt (also Marvin and the twin's))
Lois Lane (my aunt and not sure if she was on this team)
The coach was ?  Hartman who later was head coach at Kansas State

From the top 100 sports teams in Oklahoma:
39. 1950 Grainola girls basketball: 34-2
Step aside, Hoosiers. No story beats this defunct Osage County school, which sported only 14 students; all nine girls played hoops and won Class B state title. Three months later, school closed for good.
