"Harlem Globetrotters of Centralia" mural was revealed at Laura Leake Park this past weekend, featuring 5 local athletes...

🏀 Bobby Joe Mason totaled 2,025 points during his basketball career at Centralia High School and spent the years 1962-76 with the Harlem Globetrotters.

🏀 Ken “Preacher” McBride competed in football, track, and basketball at Centralia High School. After playing at Maryland State, he played one season with the NBA Milwaukee Hawks and later played from 1955 to 1957 with the Harlem Globetrotters.

🏀 Fred Pearson was a member of the Centralia basketball team in the 1940s. After high school, he played for the Harlem Globetrotters and also spent some time playing professional baseball.

🏀 Jackie Koogan White played basketball for Centralia High School and went on to attend historic Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas. After college, White played for the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters from 1949 to 1952.

🏀 John Scott was inducted into the Illinois State Hall of Fame in 1977. At only 6’1”, he was the starting center for four consecutive Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship teams for Illinois State from 1939 to 1942. He went on to play for the Harlem Globetrotters for two years 1947-1948.

Studio Bee artist Jamie Allen was commissioned by the City of Centralia, to complete the project with funding from Monken Automotive, Monken Family, Land of Lincoln Credit Union, Centralia Juneteenth, Centralia BPW , and the Centralia Chamber's Centralia Centralia Balloon Fest Image Fund.

Other local artists involved in completing this project were Alex Hyer, Emily Haake, and Brandon Smith. Great job!
