S.D. player helped traveling team gain fame

     Traveling from city to city, state to state, the All American Red Heads was a touring basketball team that entertained crowds across the United States for a half-century from 1936 to 1986. Each year the team covered thousands of miles.

     One of the more acclaimed players to ever suit up for the Red Heads was a talented young woman from Parkston. Allegra Winter and her Red Heads teammates made a significant contribution to the evolution of women’s sports in our country. Learn about her in the 2021 Fall Newsletter of the South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame.
