Coach Jochums and his Players in the late 1940s

Submitted by Benny Morey

I found this photo (above) among some items from the Bureau County Hall of Fame celebration of 2004. I believe it was given to me by Benny Morey. I recognize Benny, Bill Baird, Ron Childs, and Don Miller. Can you give me the names of the other kids? Contact me at dpnanninga@comcast.net if you can!
