OT - old basketball team photos

[Mark Padgett]

Here's a link to some photos of my high school basketball teams going all the way back to the 1907-08 team for boys and the 1905 team for girls (check out the uniforms)! You can click on a photo to have it pop up or watch them in a slide show by clicking on that.

The first link is for the boys teams, the second for the girls teams.

C'mon Mark, help a brother out.

Which one is Jurassic and which one is MTD, Sr.?

[ref2coach]

Lightweight and Heavyweight rather than JV/Var. Crack me up.

Obviously, Jurassic is the one in the suit. He is probably pretty embarrassed to admit that once upon a time he was a c-o-a-c-h.

Ya' know - one of the guys in the pictures might be Jerry Colangelo. He did go to my HS and he's pretty old.

Gotta love the bloomers. My mother wore them when she played in the mid 1920's. She told us about a game where a girl on the opposing team wore heels on the court and she would jump and try to hook them in the bloomers to pull them down. Talk about advantage/disavantage. Try to play with your pants around your ankles.

I try to do that all the time. Oh wait - you're talking about basketball. Never mind.
