Zach ended up graduating from Pampa. My brother-in-law said that Zach lit him up in that White Deer game. Zach played OL/DL, was moved to LB in Pampa.
Yeah, GC and Rankin gave White Deer the tightest games they had all season. I think either one of them would ahve won state that eyar if they had gotten by the Bucks. The GC-White Deer game in Lubbock was one of the best football games I ever watched.
And a side note. Rankin and GC were in the same district that year. Rankin, GC, Water Valley, and Irion County were all in the top 15 in the state when district started. Only two teams advanced, and two very, very good teams sat at home. Some very good games happened the last five weeks of the regular season.
