Meant to type two halfbacks and a Fullback......

Under center. No spread that I recall seeing back in those days. Today's wide receivers were called "split ends" back then. Typical plays had a split end and a tight end, two tight ends on obvious running plays. Backfield was usually 2 halfbacks and a halfback. Sometimes one of the halfbacks would move into what is called the "slot" today.

Hagar, you are right about that passing attack. Larry Tilton was QB1 and had 18 TD passes that set an OC record at the time. Was district MVP. His favorite target was Jerry Wheeler. Wheeler had 11 TDs receiving that year and was leading OC receiver.

Yeah, the gold uni's looked great, '63/'64/'65 were the only years for them though. Glad you brought up the gold "traveling" jackets. Combined with white shirts and black ties was a good look too.

Old Gold pants and jerseys. Black numbers. Two narrow black stripes, 2 narrow white stripes around the sleeves, (not over the shoulder pads.) Same type black and white stripes down the outside of the pants. Solid old gold helmets. White belts, white socks, black cleats. (I'm looking at my junior year picture) '65 was the last year for the gold uniforms, which did look awesome . Next year, '66, we went to the all black home uniforms with the gold and black checkerboard strip outlined by white stripes over the shoulder pads. Same kind of design down the pants legs. In '66 you could also "earn" a black helmet with your play. Everyone started the season with a gold helmet, but the coveted black helmet was awarded according to your play. It was a big deal to wear the black helmet.

1964 was a special, near magical season for VHS and the city itself. Will always remember it.

I think this is the second week this season it's happened that all OC teams won. Still pretty rare. And you're probably right that 5-0 goes all the way back to '64, (my soph year btw)

Like coach Sark said, "I'd rather win ugly, than lose pretty"

Wow, pouring it on now.

Game's not over yet. Need a long drive to close it out.

Time left?

Wow! Cash it in.

8:14 left

Good start to the 4th quarter

Agree, "on any given Friday"

A touchdown here would be nice.

Finally! something positive.

Bet Matthews was going bonkers on the sideline...will be a halftime "talking to"

My picks as well, LCM is much improved, teams better not sleep on them.

Homecoming type crowd on Vidor side, I think most were standing from the time of Jasper's kickoff till the end of the game.

Never would have thought this game would wind up 8-7. Both defenses dominated.

Thanks BB! As usual, appreciate the great play by play

12-0-1, semifinal game vs San Marcos was tied 21-21, but the Rattlers advanced to play Palestine in the championship game with a 5-4 edge in penetrations. Second tie breaker was first downs and the third was total yardage. Vidor had a significant advantage in both of those. The 2011 Montana Quirante led team would be a close second IMO.

Katy is sometimes referred to as OLH, Offensive LIne High. Looked like it this afternoon.

Plus Lumberton and Livingston. Not sure about LCM. 19-4A was not as strong as 20-4A, but it was a competitive district. Recall some close games
