Y'all might not be feeling me on this, but I'd like to see as many old Aggies basketball photos as possible. Hey, we're all stuck at home, so this might be a great time to explore our basketball past.
I've posted a bunch of old photos on the Greatest Aggie Basketball Player thread already, so I'll use other photos.
I'll lead it off...WSSC’s William English, #42, shoots a jumper against N.C. A&T State College, 1967

Looks like the Winston Annex.....too many Rams photos for my taste, but cool stuff. Keep the old AGGIE photos coming though. Historic Aggie basketball beats no Aggie basketball......

I was searching the Digital Forsyth site for "A&T" and "WSSC." Digital Guilford was full of yearbooks, but not many A&T pictures that I could post.

I understand....I saw the Fosyth all over the pictures. Those were cool pics though. I think most of those Rams photos were in what appeared to be the "Gaines Center." It wasn't called that back then; what was Winston's gym called before it was named the Gaines Center?

A&T State College, 1967 lol, i can't help but notice those "chuck taylor" sneakers the guys are wearing. i'll "never" forget the very first pair of "chuck taylor" sneaks i ever had as a snotty nosed kid, paid $9.40 for dem bad boys! that was considered a lot of money for sneaks back in those days, the 1960's. before i bought my first pair of chuck taylor's, all i ever wore were the "cheap" no name sneaks (we called them "crackerjacks"). fast forward to 2020, now i pay more than 200 bucks for a pair of nike cross trainers. lol, back in the day, i could've bought 20 pair of chucks for that much money...

The summer before I enrolled at A&T as a freshman (1965), I went by Greyhound bus with 18 homeboys to Atlantic City to work during the summer. I was just out of high school but most of the guys were upperclassmen at TC (WSSU). We all stayed in a 3 story dump, 4 or 5 guys to a room. All they ever talked about was all the girls at TC and Chuck Taylor Allstars! I worked all summer washing dishes to get some school cash and to buy to a pair of white Chuck Taylors for gym class.

A&T's Al Attles vs. WSSU's Cleo Hill...I know that 1960 CIAA Basketball Tournament was a good one!!
