Well since we got 'robbed' of the state tournament this year (for the most part), I decided to go down memory lane and check out some of my VHSL State Basketball Tournament programs from the past years.

This one is from 1971-1972 season.

By now, the schools were grouped into 3 classifications - A, AA, and AAA.

The Appalachia Bulldogs (25-2) captured the State A Title that season - they defeated Madison County (21-2) 53-48 in the semis, and then knocked off previously undefeated Washington & Lee- Montross (24-0) in the finals 58-52.

Here's a picture of the Appalachia team/roster from that season, as well as the cover/brackets of the state tournament program:

Legendary football coach Tom Turner was on that team.

any chance you have a program for the Powell Valley boys state title in the early 70s?
