Basketball in Blytheville

Yesterday evening I was lucky enough to travel to Blytheville to watch the PSC Junior Varsity basketball team play. The guys played smart, competitive basketball and ended up winning their two games. On the trip home I started to think about how basketball has changed over the years and the game’s rich tradition at Philander Smith. If you visit the archives, one of the first things you’ll notice is a display honoring Mr. Hubert “Geese” Ausbie.  Mr. Ausbie attended Philander Smith from 1956-60 and, during his junior campaign, was the nation’s third leading scorer.
Although not all of our athletes go on to play basketball professionally, they all leave Philander Smith with a first rate education and a commitment to hard work. Last night our team proved that, in order to win, you have to play hard, and play smart. These winning qualities have not changed. But, as you can see from this picture, the lengths of the basketball shorts sure have.
