Kj Dad Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great StorIes like this on gives you no choice, but to take a liking into West, and there community as a whole! Knowing how much adversity West had to over come and beating the odds. Sticking together as 1 BIG FAMILY and Working Hard to get better everyday as a team, and dealing with a life changing events as young teenagers and there entire town. If West could pull off winning the SC....wow this would be a great story telling ending! Pepper Brooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#62jjohnson Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great article . Really thought Kirbyville was gonna handle business. That game reminds me of 1980 when i was in 7th grade and my Horns played West in the regional round . That was also the year TJ was tearing it up , matter of fact i think they (tj and hf ) were the only two teams left from the area (golden triangle) going into regionals. tj would play lamarque and we played west . Everyone knew TJ roster , but Hamshire at the time coached by Phil Danaher fielded at the time one of the schools best and biggest teams in the schools history. Led by Qb Fulton "Flip " Johnson (mcnesse st ) , WR Anthony" Buzzard" Lewis (mcnesse st) Ot Robbie Brezina (U of h ) and rb joe king . And on Defense led by All State DE Terry Foreman , Dt Jim Peters , LB Dale Mccown and Db Chris Daigle . This was back when only the district champ made the playoffs and 20-3A was a tough district that year , plus we just moved up from 18-2A . West was picked dead last in 17-3A McGregor was picked to win it and was the bully on the block (went to state the year before) but West won in a 3 way tie or tridistrict championship. Hamshire was 10-1 and favored to win , but evidently West (8-3) didnt see it that way and ran that misdirection wing t /slot down our throats 35-12 and they would go on to play Van Vleck in semi finals .

robanadana Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 One set of my kids live in Whitney about 30 miles down the road and a district competitor of West. We drove through the town about three months after the disaster and it looked like our area after Hurricane Rita. Congrats to them and the great season they've had.
