PIERCE COUNTY
Lee Street
Location: Blackshear
Dates:
Named for:
Post-GIA:
Historical Average Daily Attendance:
- 1959-60: 107
- 1966-68: 173
- 1968-70: 117
Notes: Combined with Pierce County Training in c. 1950, but retained the name Lee Street. The boys' basketball team was sensational during the 1950s, copping titles in 1951, 1954, 1955, and 1957 and second place in 1953. The female Hornet hoops crew nearly tied them as they won the title in 1957, 1958, and 1968, with runner-up status in 1959. Pay no attention to the Blackshear Times's claims in the articles of the years they previously won state titles. For some reason, they couldn't get that right from year to year.
