More Sports clips and 1954 Grads photos



-click to enlarge-
All photos self-explanatory


Some reminders of the great teams from Baldwyn and Wheeler, and of the greatest moments of some of the games.

Wheeler won state championships in 1955 and if my memory is correct in 1957 also.

    And by 1959, the coaching for Wheeler had changed from Harrison to Richard Arnold, his son.

    I believe the 59 Wheeler starting team was Grandle Barron, Pete Dixon, Jack Downs, Sam?? Lindsey and Lyn Coats coached by Richard Arnold. I think they lost only one game.

    You're too kind, Betty. It might be hard to duplicate, though.
