Gators Trounce Hardin in '51 Campaign


The newspaper article below says the Sugar Land Gators soundly trounced the Hardin Hornets 60 years ago.  Tommy Fatheree had a good game.  I don't have a picture of him from the '51 season, but I do have one from '53 which you'll see below.

The article mentions Popeye DeBlanc & Tiny Collier, two guys who usually battled unnoticed in the trenches.  You'll see pictures of them below, too.


Tommy Fatheree ('53 season).  As Kenneth Hall recollected (& as you can tell from this picture), Tommy was 'all knees & elbows.'


Popeye DeBlanc.


Tiny Collier.
