Appleknockers Record History ~ Again
Some members of the 1964 Amazing Appleknockers basketball team met this with Bruce Firchau, chairman of the Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame Museum Committee. They gathered at Cobden High School to record for history the stories of Cobden’s team as it made its dramatic run to the state finals in 1964. We hope their stories will always be remembered.
