The image of the Bowerston, Ohio High School basketball team 1940-1941 is courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. We can assume the starting five in the front row, would dive for loose balls and such, by the wearing of knee pads. These black colored protection devices went well with the all black sneaks. There is something to say about the simple jerseys, with only a number adorning the fronts. Don't forget the snazzy silk warm up jacket worn by the back row!
