The article below from the October 22, 1924, Bronaugh Journal, lists the names of the players. Linn Holland identifies his dad, Vernon Holland, as the player in the middle of the second row. Desiree Luca identifies her great grandfather, Charles Henson, as the player second row right. I'm pretty sure that Howard Doores is second row left. That leaves the two players on the front row and the one standing beside the coach as unidentified. The unidentified players would be Otis Truskett, Marvin Stevens and Dewey Harkreader. We hope that someone can tell us which name belongs to which player. |

The players are identified as (l to r):
The article below was from the same newspaper issue and gives additional details about the team. It is especially interesting to see the number of technical fouls. It was either a rough game, or technicals were called on a different standard back then. PS - Please don't be offended by the Junior Class Activity that is described near the end of the article. Remember, it was 1924. |

The old newspaper photo is quite grainy. If anyone has an original scan of the girl's team picture, we could replace the newspaper one.
