| Somewhere
around 1960-61, David Lipscomb High School out of its P.E. department began
organizing and playing intramural football. Equipment used by
the boys came down from the David Lipscomb College, who experimented with
the idea for a number of years. With the renewal of the Varsity
Football team in 1967, intramural football was then moved to the Junior
High. From 1960(61) teams would practice and then play each other.
As the program moved into the junior high ranks, the two teams would play
each other during the half time of the varsity game. While no one
could remember who was the coordinator was in the early days, but Ken Head
headed the Jr. High version until a formal Jr. High Football team came to
play in the fall of 1970 under Coach Maurice Brunelle and his assistant
Eddie Montgomery. It should be noted that the first Jr. High team
finished its season undefeated and unscored on. |
