Luby's Shooting.

'91 Texas 5A football state champs.


Was this the year 5A went to two divisions? I feel like I remember seeing Division 1 Champs sign or banner at Leo Buckley when we played there for a playoff game in 2000.
1990 was the first year for split titles.

Permian was the other 5A champion (Div 2) in 1991.

Claims to be the birthplace of chicken fried steak. I am skeptical. Other than that, we have this thing for some reason. To answer your next question, her panties are red. At least they were in the 90s.

He definitely meant Gatesville, it was eventually broken up into several smaller schools around the state, including one in Gainesville.

My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.

Cool. I threw discus against him, we were in the same region. I threw in the 180s, which is usually considered pretty damn good. He threw farther standing from the front of the ring than I did spinning. He threw 215, and still holds the Texas state HS record (as far as I know). I watched him throw over 220 multiple times warming up.
he threw over the national record a few times at practice. Crazy to think of what he could have done with actual coaching. It was only his dad working with him at practice. Also, I ran scout RB in practice one time. Instead of killing me he just picked me up. Only time I've said thanks after getting "tackled"
