"The Southern League Textile Tournament" is an amazing piece of research into this South Carolina basketball tournament that has been held annually since 1921. After the 98-page summary of the tournament's 70-odd years follows the known rosters of all the teams who participated, the members of the all-tournament teams, and interviews with 17 participants. If there's a scrap of information existing pertaining to this tournament, Mac Kirkpatrick and Thomas Perry have plowed it up and put it in.

In 1905 Lawrence Peter Hollis went to Springfield, Massachusetts, before beginning his job as the secretary of the YMCA at Monaghan Mill in Greenville, South Carolina. While there, he met James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, and learned of the fledgling game. Hollis returned to the mill and changed the face of athletics in South Carolina.
