Very entertaining and worth the price of admission for sure. Overton is outmatched. But, we have a chance. I remember some very memorable games between Overton and Tenaha back in the day! Our coach spoke highly of Overton tonight at booster club. Says y’all have a good QB, receivers, and size on the line. Should be a good game!

Interesting little factoid considering these two have so rarely played each other. In 1989 when Ol’ TRUEBLUE was a junior at Joaquin High School, the Rams went 7-3 and finished in a 3-way tie for 2nd behind Garrison along with Shelbyville and West Sabine. Shelbyville beat us 10-6 and we beat WS 20-0 so we won the tiebreaker and went to bi-district as the 2 seed. The Overton Mustangs ran all over Carthage’s QM Martin Stadium and beat us 52-0. In 1990, we finished 10-0 and of course, district champions. Tie Elysian Fields 21-21 in a bi-district game at Tatum, advanced on penetrations, and met up with, you guessed it, the Alto Yellowjackets. That game was played at SFA’s Homer Bryce Stadium and Alto beat us 57-0. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a sophomore at SFA and my future wife was a senior at Alto cheering on the sidelines. The next game at Homer Bryce that year didn’t go nearly as well as we ran into the Rodney Thomas train in the regional finals and lost to Groveton 39-27; HE defeated us earlier that season too in district 28-19. What a machine! Overton had some really good teams back in the day…and getting more competitive. I picked Mount to beat them and we see how that went.

I laugh a little when I look at the football records of schools and see just how many games ended in ties. I’m not sure how that ever made sense or why the old timers didn’t think of overtime! Glad it got changed finally. Don’t remember the year, but I don’t think it was too long ago actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lot of opponents playing Terry Bussey these days feel the same way. You have this generational talent and he’s easy to appreciate and fun to watch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
