Maybe the only Gallopers on the planet! In the process of tracking down the mascot and colors for Mace High School (about 6 miles southeast of Crawfordsville, I ran across not one but two(!) State Title claims by their girls' team!
1922
Mace - The Galloping Girls of Mace High School finished 12-0 and claimed a State Title when reporting their 104-16 total points for the season. To make those numbers even more impressive, the 16 points against consisted of only three field goals - the rest being charity tosses. More remarkable was the fact that the Gallopers did not have their own gym and had to travel six miles to Crawfordsville to practice.
1926
Mace - In their last year as a high school before being absorbed into New Ross, the Galloping Girls of Mace High School lost just one game (to Crawfordsville by a bucket) and claimed another State Title. The Indianapolis News supports this by stating that unlike many tiny schools, Mace played a large school schedule and outscored opponent 226 - 87. The Gallopers still without their own gym and had to travel six miles to Crawfordsville to practice
