Ellisville Basket Ball

Dennis Johnson provided these pictures of the Ellisville BB team in year ??? We need some help here folks to identify the who and when part.

I stopped by to take a picture of the Ellisville school last summer and, to my surprise, it had been burned down (deliberately) the previous year. Cliff Gronfur said it was the old high school from Brooklyn, ND (south of Spring Brook), and was moved to the Ellisville location when Brooklyn faded away. Does anyone out there have other pictures to share? There must be lots of them out there.

Thanks David for getting that up...I was going to do it last night and was trying to meet a deadline and forgot. Fun to see more pictures here...Dennis...,I remember you telling me some of the people at Ellisville school...Clarice went there I know...did most everyone from the Appam area go there or was there a school there as well at this time? I just do not remember this part much at all...and if there were 2 then you consolidated into Appam before coming to Alamo?>
