regaleagle 447 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I must admit I am very blown away by the amount of information and prefacing LoboFan07 has painstakingly organized in a concise manner for all of the readers of this thread on Smoaky. I tip my hat to you Sir.......what a magnificent piece of work you have assembled for all to absorb for this upcoming clash between football titans. I will reread the information to allow it to soak in a little more......since I'm not privy to the legacy of your beloved Lobos. I am very familiar with at least the last 20 yrs. of the history of Highland Park Scot football since I'm an Argyle fan and from the Metro area for that timeframe and longer. Your fabulous work is greatly understood and appreciated from this viewer........I'm somewhat aware of what is required to research, disseminate, and organize in a readable, understandable, and logical format all of the information you have detailed for this thread. I also admire your artistic style.......you must have some journalism background, Huh? IF you don't........you are FAR better than most that have years in that field. 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Fuller( my brothers good friend) and Darius Jones played lights out on defense. Great, great game. Go Lobos beat HP !!!!!!! Jimmy Smith had a career night in that game as well! They had no answer for him running outside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Y'all better start a GoFundMe for that dude, because there's no way he's paid what he's worth. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
85lobooldschool 270 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 He sure did, close to 200 yards I think. Eric Fagget #1 had a great game running too from his WB position. I remember when Snoddy went down eariler in the season, I was like oh no. Then here comes Smith, all 170 lbs of him, with the linebacker facemask and wow could he run. It changed the whole dynamic of that team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Each had 2 TDs that night as well. I know Lobo fans still talk about the game after that HP contest against Plano.

We lost 17-12 I think but the game came down to 2 calls that went against us. I sill say that David Henderson intercepted the ball in the end zone. Their guy reached in and grabbed it and the officials ruled dual possession, giving Plano a touchdown. But the worst call (actually a no call) was right before halftime when Plano threw a touchdown pass. Their left tackle literally tackled Eugene Williams, our defensive end, by the face mask as he was nearing the QB. It was in open space, no other players near them, so it wasn't like it couldn't be seen. The official was looking right at it, but didn't throw the flag. I know there is video somewhere of that play. Both plays were shown over and over on TV by Dallas and Tyler stations. Of course, Plano went on win the state championship. Another one that should have been ours! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hoopscoach17 3 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Someone help me remember. As I was reading through the information about this weeks game on the opening page, I saw in the "On This Date in History" the 1964 Lobo win over Texas High. I'm pretty sure I was at that game (9 years old). If I remember correctly Texas High came to Lobo Stadium ranked #1 in the State and James Street led a 12-0 upset with a big brawl at mid field after the game. Am I remembering this correctly?

Yes that is correct. I was in the 4th grade then and was at the game. It was the wildest thing I had ever seen at the time! One of the Lobo players actually hit legendary coach Watty Myers. I am pretty sure I know who the player was, but let me verify before I post his name. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do they run either of those? No. They call toss which didn't work the other time that night. Defensive end almost got a hand on it the other time, and this time, he crashed down and hit Gaylon as the pitch got to him. Ball goes on the ground and JT gets it. Next play is the Willie Walker td pass of about 90 yards. Lobos go for it on 4th deep in their own territory and dont make it and JT gets a late insurance td. Only one team goes to the playoffs back then. JT loses 17-14 to Lake Highlands in Bi District and LH wins the State Championship. It's been 39 years but I still contend that the toss play on first and goal was the WORST play call in Lobo history. I was told last night that the actual play call was "Unbalanced Right Flip Right" instead of toss. For any of you that played under Doug Cox, I would bet that you recognize that play.
