Tracing Centralia Basketball into the Record Book by Bill Niepoetter & Ray Albert (1982)


























This is an article written in the 1982 IHSA State Boys Basketball Tourney Program. It was commemorating Centralia’s 1500th win earlier in the 1982 season. 

It was written by Bill Niepoetter of WILY Radio in Centralia, and Ray Albert of the Centralia Sentinel. 

At 1500 wins in 1982, Centralia Boys Basketball’s Program had the most wins of any program in the State of Illinois. Today Centralia not only leads Illinois but leads the nation in total wins, with over 2000 wins.
