New Lois
New Lois never had a full-fledged high school. Outside of the other high
schools in Berrien County, they might have only played one other school that did
have a real senior class - Sparks-Adel. They did, though, travel outside the
county. They played schools in Cook County (Midway, Alpha, Lenox, & Twin Oaks),
Lanier County (Crisp), and had at least one game with Lowndes' Pine Grove and
also with King's Chapel, which nearly literally straddled the Lowndes-Berrien
county line.
No gym was ever built at New Lois. Games were played outside on dirt. NL
possibly even had two dirt courts with each squad getting their own.
Until the big consolidation of 1954, the school continued to field junior high
teams.
It looks as if New Lois was positioning itself to be considered a bigger
school in sports. In 1940-41, they played two full-sized high schools outside of
the county in Pine Grove and Sparks-Adel. Midway and Crisp were not only out of
the county, they were both a better quality of opponent. Midway's boys had gone
to the state tournament via the GHSA's short-lived Class D series of
championships. Had World War II not occurred (and the tightening of purse
strings on Berrien County sports that came along with it), it's possible that
New Lois might have gained additional status, though they would have still
closed in 1954.
