Before the holiday hiatus, I posted the results of the Gators' 48-0 victory over A&M Consildated in their regional championship game. Sugar Land claimed its first UIL Class B region title with that victory. They'd win their second regional championship against Hempstead the following year. (I posted the game film a few months ago.)
I have a couple of items about the December football banquet that drew the season to a close. Notice that J. T. King spoke. He was an assistant coach at The University of Texas at the time. I remember him as the head coach at Texas Tech University.
Also notice that Morris Frank was the master of ceremonies. He was a well-known & well-liked Houston sports writer for The Chronicle whose career went into the '70s. He was from Lufkin & known as the Sage of East Texas.
Anyway, he wrote a humorous column about his experience at the banquet. He also wrote a thank you letter to T. C. Rozelle, Quarterback Club President. The column & letter appear below.
