Basketball pilgrims visit Lindsey Wilson College Brother, nephew of Victor Stansberry, a player on 1971-72 Lindsey Wilson College National Little College Basketball Tournament champions on tour of basketball shrines in Columbia, Lexington, and Wayland, KY Click on headline for story with photo By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Relations Two self-proclaimed basketball pilgrims visited Lindsey Wilson College's A.P. White Campus Thursday, August 7, 2009. Rodney Stansberry Sr. and his son, Rodney Jr., dropped by Lindsey Wilson to see the building that once housed the college's gymnasium and also to tour the campus. Stansberry's brother, Victor, was a member of the 1971-72 Lindsey Wilson men's basketball team that won the National Little College Basketball tournament. Stansberry often traveled to Columbia to watch his brother play. He had not seen the college in more than 25 years. On Thursday afternoon, the Stansberrys toured Biggers Sports Center and W.W. Slider Humanities Center, which was the home of Lindsey Wilson basketball from its opening in the mid-1920s until the 1960s. From the early 1970s until Biggers Sports Center opened in 1985, Lindsey Wilson played home games at Adair County High School's old gymnasium. During their visit on campus, the Stansberrys chatted with LWC men's basketball coach Paul Peck, who also played in the old LWC gymnasium as a Blue Raider player and coach. The Stansberrys said they have made "basketball pilgrimages" for several years, touring many of the well-known and lesser-known basketball venues in the South. Following their stop in Columbia, the Stansberrys headed to Lexington, KY, to tour Rupp Arena and Memorial Coliseum, the home of UK men's basketball from 1950-76. They also hoped to travel to Wayland, KY, to see the old Wayland High School gymnasium, where "King" Kelly Coleman set state high school basketball scoring records in the mid-1950s. A native of Louisville, KY., Stansberry now lives in Hartselle, AL. Rodney Jr. will be a freshman basketball player this year at Wallace State (AL) Community College.
