“Aggies collide with Castleberry There Friday: The Evergreen Aggies will take the lid off the cage season Friday night when they tangle with the Castleberry Panthers in Castleberry.
“To the many supporters of basketball here, this will be a glad occasion. The Aggies, who have furnished delight to the patrons for some four or five seasons and become well known in the state’s cage circles, never fail to play a good game no matter who their opposition is.
“Last year’s edition under the capable hands of E.L. McInnis, piled up a formidable record and were favored in the district tourney before falling under the hands of a highly regarded Fairhope quintet. Gone from last season’s powerful combine are Hanks and Thames, stellar point gathering forwards, who are now cadets in the Army Air Corps; Johnson, the bright light in the offensive parade who held down center and is now in the center of things with the Navy; and Barron and Farrell, dependable ball hawks at the guard positions. Barron is enlisted in the Maritime Service and expects to leave soon. Farrell is going to school in Mobile. Of those shock troopers, the reserves, only three are left, Hart, Huey and Stinson. Daniels and Tharp are also with their Uncle Sam’s flying forces.”
