Sugar Land Routs Pearland in the Oilers' 1951 Homecoming Game


As the first newspaper article says, 'the Sugar Land Gators are riding the crest of an undefeated season.'  They chomped their way to a 35-0 victory over the Pearland Oilers in their opponents's '51 homecoming game.

Notice the articles credit a George Solomon with kicking 3 extra points.  Of course, the kicker was George Salmon.  Also notice that The Post article says J. B. Kachinski supplied two unneeded touchdowns. 

One other item.  The stats in The Post article show Sugar Land had 7 first downs on 245 total yards in offense.  I'm guessing Sugar Land racked up several long, running plays that night.
