Great to travel back in time! A big thank you for bringing this wonderful piece of history to us! If you were privileged to have been there....it's easy to close your eyes....and you are there again! Hoosier basketball at it's finest!! Little city of Loogootee High School Lions taking on big city Columbus North High School Bull Dogs!! 🏀

Loogootee teams of the 1960s and 70s were probably on the level of Milans 1954 state Champs. They beat all comers including two very talented Seymour ball teams in the Evansville semi-state. High School basketball was still king at the time.

I was a junior in high school in New Albany, where we had won the state title two years before this, and we thought of Loogootee as some kind of gravity defying high wire act. They could not win it all -- I guess they were one game away from being an Angelo Pizzo movie! But what they did was unforgettable.
