SMBALLER61 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Shelbyville has had it's moments as being bad, but far from the worst team around! There have been some very good teams actually that had to play up with the likes of Newton, Woodville, Kirbyville.. The first time this happened was in 77. This was a very good team that finished 8-2. In district the only game they lost was to a very powerful Newton team. This was probably the best small ball team ever around these parts. My opinion. and this was back when only one team went from each district. The feature back was Wymon Bolton who went on to play for Texas Tech, and did well as a punt returner. There were also a few more D1 players on the squad. Aaron McClelland who played for UTEP, and Vernon Lister. Not sure where Lister played? Also Shon Lout FB/LB was recruited by D1 schools, but chose to step into the family business instead of pursue football. Rusty Jones was also and outstanding quarterback with college interest. Not sure why he didn't go? I think I will ask him...Also, Mickey Smith who is currently a Shelbyville coach was a sr. that year, and he broke his leg in the first scrimmage of the season. He had rushed for 1500 yards as a Jr. the year before, and he would have been in the same backfield with Wymon Bolton who rushed for 1500yds as a sophomore that year. The 78 team was probably equally as good. They went 9-1 with the only loss being for the district championship against Garrison. There were some strange happenings surrounding this game. On the morning of the game a key player, Norman Welch was killed in a car wreck. He was the starting center, and a very beloved player on a tight knit team. It was tragic, and very traumatizing to the team. Guy Harrison contacted the UIL to have the game postponed to the next day. The decision was left up to Garrison, and ultimately the AD said no. Shelbyville lost 16-0. There is no way of knowing what might have been, but both teams had one common opponent that season which was Elysian fields. Garrison beet them 7-6 and Shelbyville beat them 55 -7. I know Guy Harrison very well, and we have talked about this game many times. He feels strongly that he had the better team. They were ranked #3 in 2a at the time, and one of the polls #1. He felt it was the best squad he had throughout the whole decade. Which was saying a lot! Another interesting fact about the Garrison game was their AD Buddy Pierce became the AD at Shelbyville in 1986 and held the position until about 1995. The 2007 and 2008 teams were good as well ,but could not compete with the likes of Kirbyville and Woodville. The current Ferguson teams also benefitted greatly from having the most talent since the great teams of the late 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFAN99 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Perennial Homecoming Opponents.... No offense just what I've witnessed. Queen City Redwater(of old days) Pine Tree Ore City Rivercrest Paris Chisum Prairiland Nacogdoches I wouldn't put Nacogdoches on that list. Nac has't been great, but they haven't been as bad as Pine Tree (well except in 2012), but historically speaking, they aren't that bad. I know back in the late 90s early 2000s, they actually had decent teams. The problem is that they were in the district with JT, Lee, Luf, Long and Marshall. And in the late 90s, those teams were ranked in the 10 at some point in the season. I think in 97 and 98, all 5 of the teams were ranked in the top 10 at some point. Nac was just the poor man out. They would have probably made the playoffs in many other districts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats98 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 went to most all those games we was badwouldnt have missed the playoffs under today's rules 96 or 97 seasons. Also believe it was 95 we went 8-2 and missed playoffs. Not saying we were great my junior and senior years but most people would tell you we were far from terrible until about 2000 I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Cushing can't have over a handful of winning seasons in their entire history. They have been doormats so long I'm surprised they haven't dropped football .... They've been halfway decent the last few years. They moved up to 2A D-1. They might have did that to keep from playing Iola. Hey Kirt, tell me again about the visitors side at Tenaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue82 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Cross Roads and Huntington would stomp a mudhole in Cushing's rear end and walk it dry most years .... Ok, I've held back on giving my thoughts. Worst single season by an East Texas team, I've got to go with '96 Carlisle. The fact that ten years after that debacle they were a state semi-finalist and now are a playoff mainstay says a lot about Rocky Baker and his staff. The award for year-in, year-out historical ineptitude has to go to Huntington. In 35 years of football, the best season they've had is 3-7. I believe they have 3 total district wins over that time. Say what you want about Cushing, Kirt, but they've got Huntington beat. Cushing has been way better at times in their history. They were one of the smallest schools in AA D1 last year, and would have been a playoff team had they been in any other Region 3 district. I'm hoping my old buddy will be the guy to turn Huntington around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
