HS coach has bullying complaint filed against him after 91-0 win

[FirefightnRick]

Yeah, his last of 7 state championships was what, in '81? and I'm sure you kept up with and knew the whereabouts of every single freaking player from '60 on.

Meanwhile, everyone who actually played during those times from every corner of the region from Ballinger to Brady, to Sweetester to Cleburne and beyond who witnissed the transfers and lived to tell about those times are all effing liars, right? Ha Ha Ha!

Believe what you want to believe. But like Dodge in the '00's and Buchannon at Aledo now, he had the best choice of talent he could assemble durring a two and a half decade run.

Dodge won 79 straight games because like Wood and Buchannon he had a talent luxury no one else could imagine to ever have at the time. Isnt if funny though that before his stints before Carroll and his current stint at Marble Fallls after, without the luxury of an assembly of top talent he can't win.

1981 is correct... and you were saying the cheating was done to win those championships.... since 1981 ( or when Wood retired) I have not kept up very close with them although I have a lot of family there and still own a house and ranchland there..(there this past weekend) By then I was married and having kids... I went to Bwd HS in the 60's when Wood was there..... and I did keep up with them extremely close until early 80's and knew many of the player's families. I am not sure when Wood retired but it was early or mid 80's. ... As I said Wood was not recruiting and you claimed he was...

If any recruiting was done since he retired ... they sure were not very successful... Why did you mention it if were talking about a later coach's program that didn't win that much.??? Only once have they advanced very far into playoffs since then. I can't even name the current coach.. That area (or district ) was later dominated by Art Brile of Stephenville (now Baylor) , not Brownwood. .... in fact Stephenville eliminated them last week again. They still have had moderate success...but nothing like the 60-70's. The TCU QB is from Bwd and the N.O. Saints safety is also...

To this day I have never seen an athlete as good as Elkins... He was offered pro baseball contracts while in HS based on summer ball, a two time all American at Baylor in football, all-state in basketball, and was a few inches short of winning the 880 at state track meet... He had defeated that guy at district and region. He did play for the Oilers and later the Steelers a while until injured and may have on their first Super Bowl team but not playing... not sure. I know he was one of Bradshaw's receiver for a while. I last saw him in the 50th reunion and banquet of the 1960 football team..

Wood was very creative, and did not over-work his players... The one play I remember most was in the state finals with a 14 lead and about 1:30 left and 70 yds to the endzone. first down hand-off over center,,,, taking time..., second down same again .... taking time... third down in what appeared to be final play of half, same again except QB kept ball and threw a flea-flicker to the end while the other team did little more that stand around thinking it was about to be half-time... We only won by 7 at the end. .

You will love this .... there is an hour program on Fox-Sports Southwest today at 10:00PM on Brownwood (Gordon Wood)... It is also on again tomorrow night... ( Wed ..11:00 PM )

Maybe they will mention the time Weatherford QB played us in the 60's and was badly hung over. ( if not rather drunk )... I got that from Weatherford kids graduated with him that I knew in college. They were disgusted with him. True.??.. I don't know but they claimed it.
