As best we can tell, with the help of Jerry DeLaughter and Peggy Richardson, the following folks, left to right, are in the picture:
Back Row: Ralph Sartin, Sam Carruth, Jon Lauderdale, Hilton Ball, Leslie Parsons, Sherman Swalm
Middle Row: Richard Sutton, Mike Smith, Othel Anding, Jerry Case, Billy Coleman, Charles West
Front Row: Charles Abrams, ??, Wade Thornill, Jerry Baily, Norris Sears, Ronnie Grenn.

Thanks for the input and please see the posting from April 14, 2013, for some of these players in action.
