Description
The Golden Girls of Porter High School is a digital collection that celebrates a remarkable era in girls’ athletics. It highlights the championship-winning Porter High School basketball teams coached by Galen Johnson during the 1960s and early 1970s - a time when women played under 6-on-6 rules and half court restrictions. Through the original film footage, photographs and first-hand audio interviews with former players, this collection attempts to capture the spirit, strategy and determination of young women who made history on the court long before girls’ sports received national recognition. Explore their stories, relive their victories and discover how these athletes helped shape the future of women’s basketball.
