An offensive formation that has gone the way of the dinosaurs...the reverse snap...or butt-to-butt offense. Grady ran this into the 1970s and there is film of that on youtube as well and at that time some coaches called it "the Grady Bump" Union would end up being Regional Champs in 1957...

So from time to time while digitizing game films I will find score corrections to be made. Usually they are pretty easy to see how the scores was originally posted in error...like 8, 6 and 0 are all easy to misread and most of the errors are one of those numbers mixed up... However, I have...

Worth checking out this 1960 regional title game played at Albany between Lueders (before consolidation with Avoca) Blue Ridge. Things to look at: 1. Good example of the old "clean exchange" rule...where you could not hand the ball off, it had to be a kind of toss 2. Check out the background...

Working through the mountain of VHS tapes I have to digitize and came across some 1986 Cherokee films that I found note worthy. Their first game of the 1986 season was against the newly formed Panther Creek school made up of former schools Mozelle and Talpa-Centennial. Game played at Cherokee...

Tim Trotter might...I believe his dad played on those teams

I wouldnt be surprised if there were many small schools named Lone Oak by creeks named Lone Oak all over Texas prior to the mass consolidations in the 1926-46 era I looked up some game article for Walnut Springs during that time and in 1956 one of their players was killed in a game vs Sparks...

Gustine head football/AD is posted on region 14

I wish modern filmers would get a shot of the score board after pats...this use to be the standard practice in the 90s but rarely done now...guess coaches dont tell them to do this anymore. It helps ID what year a game was played if that info is unknown...I can not tell you how many times it...

Ya I have that somewhere and I believe was trying to confirm if it was 89 or 90 and just needed to find another box score or two and never found them I was never sent Nickerson's total stats so he may have scored 10 TDs that werent rushing and set the record their coach would have to send me...

Id have to look it up but the kid from Oakwood a year or so ago set the new TD record for a single season I believe...if not it is 89 or 90 with Dewayne Miles from Amherst in 1995 if memory serves me Lance Morris of Ira had 179 TDs scored RUSHING ONLY in his career so his total TDs scored is...

Just a quick look at those rosters and I see Vicente Ramirez is not on your 91 team and he most certainly was on the 91 team...

Exactly...every player that was on all 4 of the 1988-91 Fort Hancock teams were 4 time champs...so yes that was another incorrect bit of info

1949 Weinert was 10-0 Regional Champs allowed 67 points...6.7 ppg...another great defensive team looks like,,,beat Gruver 8-6 for the Regional Title

I saw a graphic saying first player to win 4 state titles...which isnt true...all players on the Ft Hancock teams from 1988-1991 won 4 titles I saw several graphics that were wrong through out the week every day, this was just one error, their TV team needs a fact checker...On Wednesday one...

This is just in the Championship era...1972-present I have not looked up a lot of them but did see that 1939 Prairie Lea allowed just 6.44 ppg were Bi-District champs at 11-0 (9 games played, 2 forfeits)
