High School Football
Slates 45th Season
BY HAROLD Y. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
In just five weeks there will be
gin the longest march in football.
This is the Texas Interscholastic
League, largest organization of its
kind in the world.
Practice starts Aug. 17 with all
except one class swinging into ac
tion. Class AAAA, the top divi
sion—the only one that has spring
football—is not permitted to begin
fall practice until Aug. 28. The
difference is because AAAA gets
21 days of practice that Classes
AAA, AA, A, B. Six-Man and
Eight-Man do not have.
It will be the 45th campaign.
Most of the coaches today were
not even born when the first race
—in 1920—was held.
For four months the campaign
will rage from Panhandle to Gulf,
from El Paso in the far west to
Texarkana in the far east.
There will be 946 schools play
ing the game this year. That is
the all-time high. There were 936
last year.
Showing the intensity of com
petition and attesting to the diffi
culty of a team going through a
season unbeaten and untied, there’ll
be only one boasting this accom
plishment.
The longest winning streak is
held by Corsicana, Class AAA
state champion, which is 14-0.
They are doubtful that Corsi
cana can maintain this record for
another season. In the first place,
Corsicana has to move up to Class
AAAA this year. It was caused by
the school exceeding the enroll
ment of 975 by 32 students.
In the second place, Corsicana
lost heavily in experienced play
ers. There are only four offensive
starters back and fewer than that
of defensive hands.
The second longest winning
streak is held by Rockwall, the
Class AA champion, which is 13-0.
Rockwall has 15 members of the
squad that beat John Foster Dulles
7-6 for the title on hand to start
fall practice. These include the
brilliant Marc Noel, who caught a
touchdown pass with 23 seconds to
go to defeat Dulles.
The Class AAAA champion was
Garland, which has a 12-game win
ning streak. Garland was unbeat
en but was tied in its second game
of the 1963 season by Dallas Bry
an Adams.
Garland should repeat with the
championship. Even Coach Chuck
Curtis admitted that his team won
the title a year ahead of schedule.
There are 25 members of the 1963
squad including 13 lettermen re
turning.
Petersburg was the Class A
champion and it had a 14-0-1 rec
ord. However, it has only a six-
game streak going for it. Peters
burg was tied late in the district
race. But it appears capable of
keeping a clean slate most of the
way in 1964.
However, George West, the team
Petersburg beat for the title, looks
even stronger since it has that
great runner, Steve Lane, back to
lead a veteran crew.
It would appear that Garland
and Rockwall should repeat with
championships but Corsicana and
Petersburg may have to get some
fortunate bounces of the ball to
make it.
Not since 1956 has a team in
Class AAAA repeated with the
championship. Class AAA has
gone only one year without a re
peater, Class AA two years and
Class A five years.
Abilene has won the most state
championships of any school in
the 45 years of the League race
with six. Waco is second with five
and one tie and Wichita Falls is
next with five. Breckenridge has
four and two ties.
It is doubtful that there will be
a change in the leadership situa
tion this year. Abilene, Waco and
Wichita Falls quit winning them
when more than one high school
started dividing the football play
ers up in each city. Breckenridge
doesn’t have this difficulty to con
tend with but Breckenridge has
been in the football doldrums for
four years.
