In the final, the St. Stephen Spartans defeated x. The Spartans also won the Maritime title under the leadership of coach Gordon Coffey, who made his name known in the border communities as the dashing centre fielder, from 1930 to 1939, of the town’s provincial and maritime championship baseball team. The 1938-1939 team played against much larger schools where facilities and student bodies held greater prospects than St. Stephen could rely upon. They ran the team on a shoe-string budget, with the girls canvassing local merchants and holding fund-raising dances on Friday evenings after the games. Despite these difficulties, or maybe because of them, the team had been undefeated in 1936-37 and 1937-38 and if an interscholastic title had been offered, it would have belonged to them. In the 1938-39 provincial championships, they swept away their competition from Fredericton and Moncton, often netting twice as many baskets as the opposing team. In the Maritime finals, against Yarmouth, the St. Stephen girls took the championship title in two home-games: 55-14 and 41-20.
