NATIONAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Western Division
Finished: 3-11 .214, 6th place
Most of this team pulled its players from the Gallagher Business School, which was located in Kankakee, so that's why "Gallagher" appears in the team name. This is a very difficult team to research. I had a lot of problems tracking down quite a few of their players.
The Trojans went 3-11 and finished in sixth place in the Western Division. The franchise folded after the season.

Do you know where the Kankakee team played their home games?
