Default Mo. Basketball fans of old.

Ok, some trivia here... In 1928 small town in MO. reached the quarterfinals of the "National Interscholastic Basketball Tournament"? This small town had less than 900 residents and at that time Missouri did not have divisions for its schools or did this High School even have gymnasium in 1928... Could you fathom going up against cities like Kansas City, St. Louis and all the other big Cities across the nation with verily enough players to make team let alone have gymnasium to practice in.
