Enjoyed the Buena Vista picture ... some six-man trivia ... the old bleachers that used to be in the old Buena Vista gym have been in the Seguin Lifegate Christian gym since 2001 ... we bought them from the school for $1000. Somewhere, I got a picture of the bleachers full of fans for a basketball game the next year (probably close to 500 people, my guess is that the Guadalupe Co. fire marshall was on vacation that day).
I never was so hot, dirty and in need of a shower those two days of my life when we dissembled the bleachers and carried them out of the small mezzanie where they were stored.
I remember some old geezer walking by and asking us "boys" (most of us men in our 40s and 50s, by the way) what we were doing. I told him we had bought the old bleachers in the gym and he said he remembered sitting on them "when I was a little boy."
They are still doing well in their new home. Once in awhile, we need to spray a little WD40 to get them to push back, but then again, this old geezer needs the same, too ...

Did a little checking ... Price Memorial Catholic School is now what is known as Amarillo Holy Cross Catholic School, a TAPPS school.

Also, found a little history on St. Mary's Catholic School in Fredericksburg, which played six-man in the past as a high school (1924 to 1975; since then, elementary only and no football). Nothing in their history about any championships specifically in six-man. Perhaps some histories of the Texas Catholic Interscholatic League (TCIL, which closed down in the late 80s) could shed some light on this.
