Shown here is the logo of the All American Red Heads, an all-women basketball team formed in Cassville, Missouri, in 1936. Over the next sixty years, the team won more than seventy percent of their games competing against men. The home base for the team was moved to Caraway (Craighead County) in 1955, where it remained until July 26, 1996. On that day, the team was retired after playing its last game.
