Feeling Nostalgic??

Great stuff right here. Can't believe no one has commented on any of these former players, this board must be awfull young.

I was wondering if the year 1984 was correct, but then I heard them mention Reggie Davis so I guess it is correct.  I did not realize that Edsel Ford and Hafford played with Davis and Tony Allen.  ???

I agree. I know those players since I graduated about 2-3 years prior to these games. Ricky Price for Silsbee was one heck of a running back. LC-M's Homer Rhodes was a speedster.

Man, that's back when you could lay the wood and not get a flag.  I remember when Dayton was in the Jasper and Silsbee district mid to late 80's.  Remember being on the field and hearing those dogs barking across the line.  I better quit before I pull a hammy...

That was a very good district that year.  I totally forgot both Jasper and Silsbee were ranked in the top 5.  Then you had a Lincoln and LCM team which would have probably been in the playoffs in almost any other district that year.

Lincoln started the season off #1, lost to Silsbee at our homecoming. Silsbee was ranked as high as #3 that year. The  Silsbee/Jasper game was called "The Game of the Decade" by the Beaumont Enterprise. Jasper went undefeated in district, Lincoln had two losses (Silsbee, Jasper); Silsbee had two losses (Jasper, LCM); LCM had two losses (Jasper, Lincoln). These four teams stayed in the top 15 almost all year. Three teams made it in the top 5 (Jasper, Silsbee, Lincoln). Only three teams made the playoff. There was a three way tie for second and by a point system Silsbee missed the playoff by one point.

When a school closes i have wondered what happens too records , trophies, pictures and films ? Port arthur produced a lot of great teams and players from patj , sfa and lincoln sad that it seems like all that history got misplaced or thrown away . El guapo you may have to track down former players or coaches to get film . Maybe you may have too go to the schools they played in the district and see if they have film .
