6 player girls basketball used to be the only style of basketball (3 forwards on one half, 3 guards on the other half, no dribbling) in Iowa high schools up through the 1970s. The all time Queen of 6-player was a girl name Fonda Dix. She set all of the scoring records in the state. No cap!

I cannot believe this comment did not summon Jimbo to make an appearance.

Matty, her last name was actually spelled Dicks.  Girls got only 2 dribbles.

Thanks for the correction. Most everyone played 5 on 5 in my era. I couldn't remember the dribble rule, I knew it wasn't completely outlawed but very limited. Norman Dale would've been the best coach ever.

You have to say her name 3 times:

Fonda Dicks, Fonda Dicks, Fonda Dicks.

Word is she married into the Peters family. Alledgedly, that’s true.
