As the little leagues get underway, we thought it would be appropriate to recall an earlier team.
Don Howard (top right) contributed this photo of the 1975 Ozark Athletics. He was the coach, while Ted Wood (top left) was the manager.
The players are: (FRONT) Jamie Wood, Ronnie Cook, Leslie Howard, Bruce Bennett, Robert Bennett, Tony Coatney.
(BACK) Doug Cogbill, Rick Runion, Tim Edwards, Randy Knight, Randy Green and Mike Harding.
The WCAGS has accepted ownership of the complete collection of bound volumes of the Webb City Sentinel, from 1983 (after the fire) until the final issue on Dec. 30, 2020.
Those issues can also be viewed on microfilm, along with much older issues.
WCAGS members staff the Genealogy Room on the third floor of the Webb City Public Library. Current hours are noon to 4 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Meetings are held at 6 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month in the Geadalogy Room.
Everything you want to know about Jasper County Missouri Schools is available at a site compiled by Webb City Area Genealogical Society member Kathy Sidenstricker.
The Webb City Sentinel isn’t a newspaper – but it used to be, serving Webb City, Missouri, in print from 1879-2020. This “newspaper” seeks to carry on that tradition as a nonprofit corporation.
