AthleticsAllendale High School definitely offered boys basketball. It is thought the school also offered track, plus at one time offered football, baseball, and girls’ basketball during the 1920’s (according to alumnus Franklin Pemberton). During its’ early years, the Yellowjackets played on an outdoor court that was the same place where the baseball team also played, before moving indoors to a converted church building, then eventually to a gym at the school.Allendale was a member of the Little Ten Conference. During the middle and late 50’s, they were a “powerhouse” in that conference and areaBoys BasketballThe Allendale High School basketball team won seven District titles during its existence. Two titles each were won in the 1930’s, 1940’s, and 1950’s with the last title coming in 1961.“Their coach during that time (1950’s/1960’s) was Dell Atkinson. Atkinson went to Mt. Carmel to coach during 1960-62 seasons. He then went back to Allendale and picked up where he left off (in 1965).”
Earliest known boys’ basketball team at Allendale.
MEMORIES AND FACTS OF ALLENDALE HIGH SCHOOL

FromDan Yelch:

“My mother attended Allendale HS in the mid-1930’s.Theold high schoolgym, along with the rest of theold school building,was destroyed by a tornado in the late 1980’s.The newer gym, built in the 1960’s remained and a grade school was built, after the tornado, and attached to the gym.The old gym had a short floor, with two mid-court stripes, and very little room between the end line and the brick walls.There were bleachers on both sides,there was a balcony also which hada few rows of bleachers that also ran the entire length of the gym.”

From avery knowledgable Southern Illinois basketball fanwho states that Allendale was involved in a tournament game whose outcome was decided by the influence of too much sunlight:

“In the middle 50’s, Wayne City and Allendalewere playing a semifinal game in the Wayne City Holiday Tourney on a Saturday afternoon.In the closing seconds Allendale’s ball handler was stalling the ball in the closing seconds of the game. He turned to look at the clock and he looked directly into the sun coming in the gym from an uncurtained window.He was either temporarly blinded from seeing the clock or was startled by the sudden gleem of the sun that it caused Wayne City to either get the ball or the clock ran out with Wayne City having the lead and the spot in the championship game against Woodlawn.How time flys.”
