Picture of the 1968 Regional Champion Strawn Greyhounds. Only undefeated team in school history and played only ten games because no one really wanted to play us that year.

Victor, the leader of the 1969 team, younger brother of Marty Salazar, another great quarterback and role model. In addition former players Bryan Eubanks and Joe Don Gibson keep us grounded and motivated.

Oneday, Thanks for the advice but these articles came from clippings over 40 years ago. Documentation is a wonderful thing, several of the clippings came from the Strawn Reporter News. which itself had a short life and at least one from the Abilene paper. Life is good.

Don, We caught the breaks that night and Lueders caught the injuries. Glad we didn't have to meet Lueders again in the playoffs that year. Marathon and Cherokee were real tough that year. We still need to get together at Mary's Cafe sometime with as many of our teammates we can find and replay the game over a good chicken fried steak. Larry

Back in the day, funeral director/ambulance service combos were common. When I was growing up, the local fire department's ambulance was nothing more than a re-purposed 1960s Ford Hearse.

Someone needs to mention that Cherokee had to forfeit all 12 games in 1969 for having an ineligible player on their team and placed on probation for the following season as well. Strawn has the 1969 Regional Championship trophy as a result of Cherokee's forfeiture. Check it out on Lone Star Football Network for the 1969 season. Cherokee none the less has had tremendous success since then, winning three state championships.

I believe that has been mentioned several times on this board before (I think in this post and in a few others)...I was going to post it but I thought I'd stir the pot a little and let a Strawn person bring it up...it worked! lol!
That scan is straight from a book
I was going to add to the post..."Bonus points to the the first person to point out the ineligible player"
The same went for the Bi-District trophy I believe...which would be awarded to Novice...
