Yes they do. The photos I have seen look really nice. It's a shame they don't field a football team to play on it.
The usual suspects, Huckaby and Graford. Slidell and Lipan have grown so much that eleven man would be their option. All those guys not starting on the basketball teams not getting an opportunity to play football. Might get hurt? Stay off of the four wheelers, skate boards, motorcycles, bulls and horses too just to be careful. Good option is to move to Dell City and give that team a few more players.
I don't think Eula will ever play football.
Vakentine and Marathon are too small, but Comstock would be in D1. Comstock had a kid killed by an injury during practice the last year they played, and they have noit fielded a team since
Probably Eula
Unfortunately, I believe you are right. Some schools just have no desire to play football.
OBK when did this happen?
I don't think Skellytown has a high school... if they have a school anymore at all. Most of those kids go to White Deer or Pampa that I am aware of. Ft Elliott could get away with a small team I think, but I'd be willing to bet any of those kids that want to play football would just enroll at Canadian.. Hard to not want to play for a powerhouse when you have the opportunity.
All 3 of these school are straight basketball. Don’t see them ever playing football Would be nice if they did however
I believe in 1972, while getting ready to play the first game of the season
OK, I was wrong about the kid dying, but he was seriously injured
Oh I’m aware. Another school Pringle Morse has a decent JH and could have a HS too but they go to WT high. Skellytown has the numbers to be a D2 team
OK, I was wrong about the kid dying, but he was seriously injured
"That article might still be on the History thread.....September 9, 1971. A 130 lb halfback Howard Chamberlain was seriously injured during a scrimmage. Drs. George Hermann and Louis Cartall removed his spleen and 5 inches from the back of his stomach to stop serious internal bleeding that almost killed him.
Comstock was playing an outlaw schedule in 1971 and had several 8 man games with local 11 man JV squads scheduled. They ended up paying only one game that year and dropped football in 1972."
