Todd Basketball: by Jerry Osborne

During the school year of 1955-56 teacher J.G. Floyd started a basketball team at Todd where we competed with other small school in the area. Under the direction of Mr. Floyd me, Ronald Todd, EJ Hinds, Lyndell Osborne and Curtis Todd cut two cedar trees down to make the post.  Mr. Floyd brought us the lumber for making the backboard  and a basket ball rim. We somehow dug the post holes and uprighted it to stand in the hole and sure it up to stand for years to come. Our team was not very good but we tried hard and had a good time.
