I Miss the Bear, and Football as I knew it, but Not the Racism



'Eleven Men And Sic 'Em'

I agree about the football back then. We had some pretty good hosses in Rogers. Here's an article from the Rogers Daily News Nov. 17, 1964
Four Rogers High School seniors received awards for their performances during the past gridiron season Monday night at the annual football banquet sponsored
by the Rogers Quarterback club at the senior high cafeteria. Jim Lingle and Scott Fones were awarded the trophy as the outstanding performers for the Mounties during the past season. David Swearingen was honored as the most improved player on the squad and Jim Billy Winchester received the sportsmanship award.
