| Generations of former
Collinsville High School Girls Basketball players gathered for a special
homecoming here Friday Feb. 14, 2014. The invite went out for players
back to the first team in ~1911 and those that arrived spanned the graduation
years from 1949 to 2013. |

| Long-time Collinsville
girls coach Howard Ray recived a life time achievement award (& state
ring) from his former players during the homecoming ceremonies Friday
Feb. 14, 2014. |

Henshall (who assisted Howard Ray with girls basketball for many years)
was also recognized by the former players with a life time achievement
award. They also acknowleged his service in the Navy (World War II), as
