CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

R opens: the girls had never played. P is the teacher who started it.
S is "at first", and Q turns with "but soon", which leads to the championship in the closing sentence.
So the order is RPSQ.

Worth noting

RSPQ has girls coming to play before anyone has brought a ball.
