Time Travel: BHS Conference Hoops Champs in 1943 and WBOY Decades Ago in Forest Festival Parade

By Dick Duez on March 01, 2026 from History Blog

As the writing on the photo shows, this is the 1943 Little Ten Conference Basketball Champions from 1943. The young man with the basketball wearing 21 is Harry Green. If you know any of the others, comment below.
Although the exact date is unknown of this photo, it shows a WBOY float in a past Mountain State Forest Festival. If you have additional information on this photo, please comment below.
 
Editor's Note: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection. Duez, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at at dick@duez.ws
