\ Five County Teams
Enjoy Big Seasons
A REVIEW of the 1968 football
Frisco, the perennial District
season shows that Collin County 15-A kingpin, missed the throne
room in 1968 as the Pilot Point
teams enjoyed a big year.
Five county teams emerged as
district champions — Plano, Dis-
trict 6-AAA; Celina, District 11-
B; Anna, District 12-B; Westmin-
ster and Community, eight-man
titlists.
PLANO’S Wildcats, who made
headlines in Class AA for sev-
eral years, including state cham-
pionships in 1965 and 1967,
moved up to 6-AAA last year and
captured the flag . . . then, they
defeated Azle in bi-district be-
fore falling from the play-off pic-
ture, losing to Henderson in the
quarterfinals.
Basketball Game
Helps Build Fund
For Prosper PTA
Prosper P.T.A. reported an ex-
cellent turn-out for their fund-
raising program, recently. They
netted approximately $200 in
proceeds from the basketball
games between the outsiders and
the high-school boys and girls
and from the sale of sandwiches,
pies, coffee and tea. Several all-
district players of by-gone years
were among the outsiders who
played against the high school
teams. The outsiders on the men’s
team defeated the high school
boys in their game while the
outsiders’s of the women’s team'
came within three points of try-
ing the high school girls in their
game. Proceeds from the event
will be used by the P.T.A. to pur-
chase equipment needed in the
educational programs of the
school.
Bearcats clawed to the title with
the Wylie Pirates finishing sec-
ond and Frisco third.
IN CLASS B, Celina won the
District 11-B flag and Anna nail-
ed the District 12-B crown. The
Bobcats and Coyotes collided in
bi-district at the McKinney High
Stadium with Celina winning the
encounter. The following week,
the Bobcats walloped Muenster
for the Regional championship.
Before their setback at the-
hands of the Bobcats, the Coy-
otes compiled an unblemished
10-0 regular season record.
IN THE eight-man football
warefare, Westminster and Com-
munity met in bi-district and
Community emerged the winner.
The Braves went on another war-
path to cop the coveted Regional
title that climaxed an undefeated
untied season for them.
Track Meet
Set Friday
A track meet, involving Sev-
enth, Eighth and Ninth Grades,
will be unreeled at the McKin-
ney High Stadium over Friday,
starting at 3 p.m.

Lions Own Great Record
Texas Pigskin Ranks
By NORMAN SCOTT
DESPITE a 4-6 record in 1968,
their first losing season in 13
years ,the McKinney High Lions
remain among the football elite
in Texas schoolboy circles.
The Lions, who began their
escape from the football wilder-
ness in 1956, own a glittering
108-32-5 record over the 13-year
span for an impressive .771 per-
centage, one of the best marks
in the entire state.
A REVIEW of the pigskin ex-
ploits by the Lions:
IN 1956, they tied Gainesville
for the District 6-AAA title, but
the Leopards represened the
league in the playoffs due to a
7-6 win over the Lions.
Again in 1957, the Leopards de-
feated the Lions, 7-6 to earn a
playoff spot.
McKinney compiled a 6-3-1 rec-
ord in 1956, and a 7-2-1 in 1957.
IT WAS a different story in
1958 as the Lions captured the
district crown an dadvanced to
the Class AAA semifinals, falling
to the eventual state champion,
Breckenridge.
Fees Named
Top Player
By Coaches
The Southwest Conference
coaches have named the All-
Conference freshmen teams.
Baylor’s Pat Fees, a 6-7 Lamesa
product, was selected the out-
standing player and joining Fees,
who averaged 24.6 per game, are
Jeff Watkins, Texas A&M, 24-7;
Joe Lenox, Texas, 20.6; Ted
Melady, Rice, 18.1; and Vernon
Murphy, Arkansas, 24.6.
The second teams includes
Rick Duplantis, Texas A&M;
Richard Langdon, Texas( former
Lake Highlands star); Don Sny-
der, Rice; Eric Groscurth, Texas;
and Bobby Rollings, SMU.
IN 1959, Charles Qualls took
over the reins of the Lions after
Joe Simpson moved to Dallas
Hillcrest following three years at
the helm.
Despite heavy losses from the
1958 semi-finalist club, the Mc-
Kinney outfit still managed a 7-3
record in 1959, finishing second
behind Mt. Pleasant.
THE NEXT YEAR, 1960, was
a heart-breaker for the Lions and
their fans. McKinney was con-
sidered one of the best football
teams in the state . . . but, Green-
ville earned the right to represent
the district after the teams play-
ed to a 0-0 deadlock. The Lions
ended the season wtih an 8-1-1
mark.
ANOTHER rebuilding year
came in 1961. Still, the Lions sur-
prised a lot of people and finish-
ed second behind Gainesville who
edged McKinney, 8-0, in a show-
down battle.
The locals chalked up an 8-2
record, this time.
IN 1962, McKinney captured
another district title and ad-
vanced to the state quarterfinals,
bowing to Jacksonville.
It was a 10-2 season.
ANOTHER championship came
to the Lions den in 1963 and an-
other advance to the state quar-
terfinals where they lost to Cor-
sicana went on to the state title.
McKinney’s record was 8-4
after going 1-3 in non-confer-
ence play.
QUALLS DEPARTED the
scene to take over the head job
at Mesquite in 1964, being re-
placed by Tommy Hudspeth who
guided the Lions to an 8-2 record
despite an injury-plagued squad.
District finish: Third.
ANOTHER injury-ridden sea-
son cropped up in 1965, but Mc-
Kinney copped the 6-AAA crown.
The Lions lost to the Weather-
ford Kangaroos in bi-district.
Seasons record: 9-2.
THEN, CAME the greatest
year in the history of McKinney
High football — 1966—a trip to
the Class AAA state finals.
The Lions owned a 13-0 record,
including 10 shutouts, before
falling to Bridge City, led by the
heralded Steve Worster.
DURING the regular cam-
paign, the local allowed only nine
points for the top defensive rec-
ord in the state in any class-
ification. Over the season route,
the Lions scored 340 points and
allowed 46.
Season record: 13-1.
HUDSPETH departed Lionville
to take over the head job at Long-
veiw High and James Cameron
replaced him.
Cameron guided the Lions to
the district championship and to
the state semifinals where they
were derailed by eventual state
champion, Brownwood.
McKinney finished the 1967
season with an 11-1-1 ledger.
SCOTT JOHNSON took com-
mand of McKinney in 1968 after
Cameron accepted the head
coaching job at Howard Payne
College.
Facing the biggest rebuilding
job in the history of MHS foot-
ball, Johnson and staff overcame
a lot of problems and in the last
three weeks of the 1968 season,
McKinney developed into one of
the toughest clubs in the district
losing to Plano by a narrow 7-0
score in the final game.
THE LIONS tallied a total of
122 points while yielding 104 dur-
ing the 4-6 season. In district,
they compiled 109 points to 65
by their foes.
McKinney finished in a tie for
third place in 6-AAA at 3-3.
The Lions are expected to re-
turn to the spotlight in 1969.
McKinney Nips
Mustangs, 3-2
Baseball Slate
THE McKINNEY Lions staged
a three-run rally in the bottom
of the fifth inning for a 3-2 win
over the Ricahrdson Pearce Mus-
tangs Tuesday afternoon at the
MHS Park.
It was a District 6-AAA open-
er for both clubs, and the sea-
son opener for the Lions.
CENTERFIELDER Jimmy Ar-
mon climaxed the winning upris-
ing when ehe delivered a double
against the left-field fence that
sent catcher David Joyner and
pitcher Danny Spears across the
plate with the deciding runs.
Righthander Bill Reynolds,
who went the distance for Pearce,
was the victim of Armon’s key
blow.
THE MUSTANGS jumped into
a two-run lead in the first in-
ning as they tagged Spears for
four straight safeties, including
a double by Mackey . . . but, the
Lions junior righthander pitched
no-run, no-hit ball the remainder
of the way.
Reynolds whiffed four Lions;
while Spears struck out five Mus-
tangs.
McKINNEY is scheduled to
host Princeton in a non-confer-
ence game today at 4 p.m.

THIS TIME, a year ago, the
Lake Highlands Wildcats reigned
as Class AAA state basketball
champions after capturing the
District 6-AAA title and of
course, winning bi-district and
regional enroute to the state
meet.
But, they experienceed a rough
time before nailing the 6-AAA
title. The Cats were forced into
a playoff with McKinney for the
flag and edged the Lions, 60-
53, in a title played at Loos Field-
house.
IN FACT, Lake Highlands
barely managed to get into a
playoff with the Lions, who had
the Cats hanging on the ropes
in a second half showdown last
season.
Any way, they made it all the
way to the AAA throne room.
They moved up to Class AAAA
for the 1968-69 season and didn’t
fare too well.
DID YOU know that the LH—
McKinney playoff game last year
was only the second in District
6-AAA. The split season plan was
Spears and Joyner.

GARY PETROSS, McKinney
head track coach, is hoping for
better weather Saturday when
the Lions compete in the annual
Mesquite Relays.
LAST SATURDAY at the Tex-
oma Relays in Gainesville, the
weather was miserable as the
temperature was near freezing.
The Lions managed only 12
points. Charlie McDonald placed
second in the high jump and J.
T. Hollins fourth in the broad
jump for the total points.
PETROSS revealed that Hol-
lins complained his leg was hurt-
ing during the broad jump and
although the freshman qualified
in the 220-yard dash finals, it was
decided to scratch him from the
race because of possible aggrava-
tion of a muscle pull in the cold
weather.
FRANK DANIEL was also
scratched from the 440-yard dash
after he fell and hurt a knee and
shoulder on the first leg of the
440-yard sprint relay. The spill
caused Daniel and Eddie Jackson
to miss the handoff, thus eli-
minating the Lions in the event.
Frank had replaced Jimmy Ar-
mon who was sidelined due to
illness.
DALLAS HILLCREST won the
Texoma Relays with a total of
92 points, edging the Denison
Yellowjackets who had 9012
points.
Fourteen Class AAAA schools
entered the meet.
SATURDAY at Mesquite,
there’ll be two divisions ... so
the Lions will compete against
Junior College.
IN THE PRO ranks, Tommy
Joe Crutcher former MHS star
and TCU All-American, was a
regular linebacker for the New
York Giants of the NFL after
being secured from the Green
Bay Packers; and two other Mc-
Kinneyites, Clem Daniels and
Ray McDonald performed with
San Francisco and Washington of
the NFL, respectively.
IN COLLEGE basketball, for-
mer Lions David Graves and
Mike Coughlin, were members
of the 1968-69 University of Tex-
as at Arlington freshman team.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR and
head football coach Scott John-
son, head basketball coach Don
