The Avilla Panthers are now an elementary school, part of the East Noble School Corporation but in 1940-41, 1954-55 and 1955-56 they celebrated 20 win, Sectional championship seasons. Their northeastern neighbor's gym, former court of the Ashley Aces, now houses a community center and city & police offices. Before the Aces were combined with Waterloo & Auburn to form DeKalb High School they won two Sectional titles, 1945-46 & 1963-64 and then went on to win first round Regional games. Two old gyms, steeped in history and still serving their communities. CGS.
