Comment on KHS Basketball in the 1950s by Pat Chase

Pat Chase — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:24:21 +0000

I want to brag on my big brother Sam Chase who played a lot of basketball for K-town in the 50s. He was a starter on the varsity for Harlan Clark as a 12 year old freshman. He had skipped third grade while attending Mays so that is why he was so young in the 9th grade. As a sophomore he was one of the leading scores for those fantastic “1958 SECTIONAL CHAMPS”. His fellow starters were Gary Sharp, Danny Vaughn, Larry Collins and Charley Riggs. What a thrill for Knightstown and the communities of Kennard and Greensboro. All of us came together to be the Champs. Sam holds most of the scoring records for the “Hoosier Gym” including most points, most field goals, most free throws and highest single game(41 points against Charlottesville, the only 50s game that I personally played in). Sam worked hard at the game of basketball, had some talent and enjoyed the sport. Our time living in Knightstown and playing basketball is a most cherished part of our lives.

Today Sam and his wife Nancy are retired to their home on the Toccoa River in North Georgia.

I wish a blessed Christmas for everyone. Although my hometown was Carthage, I had good friends in K-town and wonderful memories of circling the root beer stand and roller skating at the outdoor rink. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I wasn’t that old but I do remember some of the fifty’s. It brings back old memories although I graduated in 1962 from Knightstown High School. Our class has a meeting once a month and talk old memories. It’s very nice that you have this website. I remember the old stores. Thanks to I-70 we don’t have them anymore. I used to sit on the square and watch the 500 traffic come through.It was awesome.
Thanks again for the memories!

Comment on Memoriam by Lloyd McCleese

I have been reading the Knightstown High School Basketball news along with the Memoriam to our many classmates. I played on the 1952-53 basketball team at Knightstown, our record for that year was 20 wins and 3 losses. Our losses went to New Castle in the Sectional, Knightstown Morton Memorial at the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Childrens Home, and to Middletown. Knightstown Morton Memorial lost to State Champ Milan in the Sectional at Rushville in a double overtime. I am now a retired school teacher and basketball coach. I was fortunate enough to coach 3 state basketball teams in Florida during the 1960’s and 1970’s. I am now retired and spend my summers on my farm in Mt.Sterling,Ky. I spend my winters in the sunshine of Florida.

Thanks for the comment Judy..!! Here’s a link to a pretty good article about the devastating results of the outbreaks of cholera in small midwestern towns, like Knightstown, in the early-mid 1800s.
