Some young Basketball Players

This undated photo shows a coach and some young players, many of whom we know. I believe this may be at Wheeler, but I may be badly wrong.

I see Tommy Carpenter, Doug Waters, Larry Roberts, Hulon Cox (55), possibly James and Judy Bryant's older brother Tommy (66)??, and others I recognize but cannot name. Any help?

  1. Maxey Ramsey 22? David Gentry on lower LEFT?

  2. Number 66 looks like Jack Nanney. If so that would place this photo sometime around 1952 give or take a year.

  3. I believe this is Southwest Prentiss school instead of Wheeler.

    1. You are correct... I have some information I found just today that verifies that. This is 1954. Would still hope someone can come up with the needed names.
      Thank you.

    2. Maybe Gerald Carpenter beside the coach??? I don't think that is Tommy Bryant as they never lived at Geeville, but it looks like Tommy.

  5. An e/mail from a friend said that is Charles Patterson behind #33. Thanks, Jerry.

  6. I asked Doug Waters about the identity and he said that #66 is Humayse Hill from Guntown, #22 IS Maxey Ramsey, #33 is Charles Oswalt' The principal and coach is Mr. Gene Waters. He is still trying to recall the other names. Thanks, Doug.
