Bennie went to a number of Nederland Bulldog playoff games. I got the chance to talk to Bennie a time of two about High School Football and it was surprising how knowledgeable he was on the subject. He will be missed.

Bennie Lon Cotton
Bennie Lon Cotton, 83, of Orangefield, passed away on November 17, 2015, at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont.

Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m., Monday, November 23, 2015, at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City. Burial will follow at Mary Williams Cemetery in Orangefield.

Visitation will be from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, November 21, 2015 and 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday, November 22, 2015, at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City.

Born in Orange County, Texas, on January 6, 1932, he was the son of Willie Reese Cotton and Violet Garison Cotton. Dad was born on south 105 but lived his entire life in Orangefield, Texas on property that had been in the family since the 1800s.

Dad was a true Texan. Although born in 1932 he was the fifth generation of his family born in Texas and the 8th to live in Texas. The family came here when this was still called Mexico in the late 1820s. They got here as fast as they could and many held Republic of Texas Land Grants. Six great…uncles fought in the Texas Revolutionary Army and his great...aunt was a member of Austin’s Old Three Hundred.

Dad was known all over the state for his love of Texas high school football. Articles were written about him in newspapers from the Dallas Morning News to the Amarillo Globe News and even the Texas Monthly, which called him Texas’ greatest high school football fan. Displays about him and his collection of football memories and artifacts have been displayed in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in Waco, and the state’s Texas History Museum in Austin, Texas. Dad had many great stories to tell and many amazing experiences but the most important reason he was so well respected was his character. Coaches trusted him because he never spoke of another team’s weakness or vulnerability. He sat on many sidelines and in many locker rooms and never betrayed a trust. The last game he saw was just days before his passing between PNG and Dayton at Stallworth Stadium in Baytown. He still followed old friends like Houston Stratford, WOS, Orangefield, Canadian High (Panhandle team), and Odessa Permian.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Marilyn Cotton; son-in-law, Chuck Tipton; brother, Virgil Lynn Cotton; sister, Stella Faye “Pill” Cotton Hinson and parents, Willie and Violet Cotton.

He is survived by his son, Will “Sarge” Cotton and wife, Jacky of Mauriceville; daughters, Marianne Payne and husband, Glen of Vidor and Suzie Tipton of Orangefield; grandchildren, Christy Swanson and husband, Mike of Mauriceville, Kimberly Wood and husband, Shannon of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Savannah Tipton of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Andrew Tipton of Clovis, New Mexico and great grandchildren, Brett Swanson, Gabrianna Wood and Genevieve Wood.

Serving as pallbearers will be Mark Scales, Wayne Chandler, Gerald Chandler, and Randy Wilson, John Hinson, Tim Hinson, John Garison, and Bryan Jones. Honorary pallbearers are Buster Snelson, David Hinson, and Mike Garrison.

Memorial contributions may be made in his memory to two charities about which he cared because they feed hungry children: the Southeast Texas Food Bank Backpack Program and the Salvation Army. As a life-long reader and learner, he would also appreciate a history or science book placed in his memory at one of the school libraries at either Orangefield or WOS

Cushing was one of our next options.  But their field was torn up after the game against SA and then the rain did not help it any.  
 
I will not tell you how many options we went through before we settled on Palestine...

Finally...
We are playing at Palestine High on Saturday @ 4:30 PM.

Jake I think you hit it on the head, we've had trouble with teams with a running QB going back to 2004 with Jacksonville, they had a running QB who we had trouble with the entire ballgame and although they had a good defense we should have beat them but ended up losing 20-14. This is why it will be a tough test against New Caney because their QB Ware can run and pass. 

I said that the same thing happened to Permian head coach Gary gaines back in the 80's, and added he would later win a state title there. The Permian connection was only mentioned because of the coincidence. Faircloth was on a staff that won a state title at Highland Park. This is just the first of some editorials I'll be doing. Something new. 

Keep in mind there's a reason that were in the stands and not coaching...I do not agree with putting a for sale sign on a man's property that's just wrong...I do understand the PNG fans that are upset with BF its hard to argue 1-6 record vs. Nederland and a 3-5 playoff record but personal attacks on the man just isn't right...In my mind there's a simple solution to this its time for those PNG fans that dont like BF to use some of that honor and pride, go before your school board and tell them in front of everyone there that you dont like your coach.

I heard this as well got to give kudos to Morse for playing at less than 100%

See your facts mixed with opinions on the 1st year we will never know cause Burnett didn't coach them.

I guess I am coming from more of a Nederland winning the last several years prospective and not much of a playoff run (except 1st year) at PN. 2nd, 3rd, 4th place in our district, not impressed.

Nothing personal and best of luck this year. Hear you have a tall Soph at WR with Mczeal, Sullivan and if Giblin can get clear for contact sports (he is on 2nd surgery) coupled with Morse, should light them up.

Oct. 16th should be great!!!

225a getting swept in the first round and ozen making the playoffs

I think Coach Fortune should stay...is it the coach or coaches? Yall get rid of a good man your just stacking the deck against yourselves in the future. That program is gonna take a while to turn around and the foundation needs to be built on consistency not confusion and change. We want our kids to be committed...well us ole adults have to be good examples...#givethemanachance
