IBCA Hall of Fame Needs Your Help
The Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame committee is searching for items to add to its future
Hall of Fame building. From committee member Bruce Firchau:
"We are looking for letter jackets and / or sweaters from schools that do not exist anymore. Our goal is to have
one from each letter in the alphabet. We are especially looking for jackets that might have conference, county or state patches
on it. We are also looking for old school pennants, old warmup jackets, or uniforms that were very unusal in appearance.
In addition, old cheerleading uniforms, megaphones, mascot outfits. and old county championship banners
or trophies are being sought....the older the better. Other items we would like to view are old basketballs from the early
1900's, state tournament books from prior to 1971, and any old game films from the state tournament would also be appreciated."
If you have any items that you feel would be a great addition to the future Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall
of Fame display please utilize the following contact information:

GLORY DAYS WEBSITE
This Glory Days Site is a collaborative effort to preserve Illinois History, as reflected in high schools which no longer
function, but nonetheless encapsulate the best of who we are and have been. As we cross the 154,000 mark of unique visitors,
we need to recognize those who have done most to present this site to you:
Kev Varney, who grew up in
Ottawa, now of Bloomington;
Beau Spencer, who grew up in Annawan, now of Macomb;
Cody Cutter,
born in Rock Falls, now of Sterling;
Richard Soseman, who grew up on Campbells Island (Quad Cities) now of
the Vatican, and myself;
Dave Nanninga, who grew up in
Mineral, attended Annawan High School, and currently resides in Chicago.
(Check out more information on our Authors page)
This site is YOUR site, so have fun with it, enjoy some memories, visit pages of places you forgot
long ago, or maybe even from which you graduated last year. Also, we encourage you to become a collaborator by sending
us your information!
FIVE YEARS AND RUNNING!!
We have been in service since January 30th of 2005. Here we are;
1,048 high schools, more than 3,000 photos, & over 156,000
visits later, still going strong. Thank you to all of the great alumni and fans of the many schools on this site who have
provided information for us to share. Special thanks to all of you who are as determined as we are in keeping the memories
of these "gone but never forgotten" schools alive.
