Hico,Twas not a playoff game,But the Hico Super six...
The very last game of the day,Rule vs, Calvert,a great game with Rule kicking a Field Goal with no time on the clock to win,First time i ever saw this in a 6man game,The Rule side went crazy,the kids piled on top of each other,Great scene!!
As the crowd was filing out [a friend of mine says look] The football that won the game was laying next to the fence,Well what do you know,I went over and picked the ball up,[ever seen the movie longest yard ,with Burt whats his name] I was looking for someone offical to give the ball to,Both school's had already boarded the bus, I turned to my right and there face to face i was with ex Dallas Cowboy Walt Garrison with game ball in hand,Walt Garrison just happen to have a ink pen, a permanent marker in his hand,I handed the ball to Mr. Garrison,He smiled and autographed the ball,Today that ball is in my trophy case,Now you know the rest of the story.
