cujoforlife Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Tyler High should do the same thing that Lufkin is doing with dumber high school. And honor Emmett Scott high school. Both schools could do it with wear away and home uniforms. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavchamp Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I would absolutely love it if MHS would honor Pemberton HS by wearing Purple and Gold. The Pemberton school facility, team name, and team colors were adopted by Marshall 9th graders in 1980 when the current high school opened for grades10-12. Freshman attended Pemberton. Marshall 9th Graders played as Pemberton Panthers from 1980 until the late 80's when the 9th grade wing was opened at MHS. The Pemberton building is now a part of the Wiley College campus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice history. Emmett Scott building was torn down because of health reasons. Now Texas college uses the field as a practice field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected. I thought 9th graders were moved to PHS in 1980, but they were moved in 1970 when MISD integrated. So Marshall 9th graders played as Pemberton Panthers from 1970-1988 when they moved to MHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Wiley College has done an outstanding job with Pemberton's legacy. The PHS Campus has been made into the Pemberton Heritage Center. From what I understand.... the auditorium is still used and the gym is used for intramurals. No idea what the rest of the facility is used for. I feel a research project coming on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried starting something for Womack, and I'm sure I'll give it another go down the road...but man alive, it has been a struggle to find even one mention about the Leopards anywhere from a Longview stand point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBigBlue Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I don't think I ever saw a picture of the all black school's football team in Daingerfield. I know they turned it into the Jr. High and my grade was the last to use their Gym. It's a cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to set-up a "throwback" game with Lufkin or somebody, with both school wearing "alts" of the former black schools in their community. It'd be a heckuva story. Might even help bring some Womack players (and stories!) out of the woodwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
