50th anniversary Crothersville Lady Tigers

Nov 19, 2025

I rarely post twice in one day… but here I am again…

Because I rarely go on Facebook, I didn’t know about the 50th anniversary team reunion last night of the Crothersville Lady Tigers until it was over. I sure hate I missed it!

Crothersville Lady Tigers 50th anniversary

What a fabulous turnout 5 decades later!

I recognized every single person with the exception of one, and my buddy, Alisa, filled me in. Cindy Curl has since passed away, as did coach Sharon Begley — but her 2 kids were there to accept an award on her behalf. Teresa McIntosh couldn’t make it and I’d sure have been upset if she’d have been there and I missed seeing her.

50 year anniversary

Standing: Sherry Brumett, Alisa Riley, Terry Fletcher, Linda Brumett, Rita Fletcher, Pam Engle, Linda Schill, Robin Engle, Kim Foster
Kneeling: Cindy Morris, Emily & Ryan Begley

No team cheerleaders so no team chant — but it’s still in my head…

Pork chop. Pork Chop.
Greasy. Greasy.
We’re gonna’ beat you.
Easy. Easy.


Now you know: This team — 75/76 — was the first IHSAA women’s basketball team for Crothersville High School.
