This is was a great team... thx for the post
My dad was on the team WOW!!!
I would GLADLY put Obama accomplishments up against Trump up or any Republican President of the past 40+ years.
It absolutely kills you guys that Obama has something that Trump will never have - the absolute respect and admiration of the majority of the American people.
Drumph (Trump's real last name)? LOSER
Donald Trump has decided that former President Barack Obama is the big new enemy to rant about all the time, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is falling in line. Trump spent Monday rage-tweeting about something called “Obamagate” and, asked by a reporter what crime he was accusing Obama of, said “You know what the crime. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours.” (At no point did Trump name a crime.)
Hours later, Moscow McConnell appeared on the Team Trump Livestream with Trump daughter-in-law Lara, and went after Obama on COVID-19. “Clearly the Obama administration did not leave to this administration, any kind of game plan for something like this,” McConnell said.
The Obama administration literally left the Trump administration a literal pandemic playbook, complete with warnings about the need for testing and personal protective equipment and instructions for coordinated response
Trump ignored all of it.
Wow! What beautiful memories! Most were later members of the 1962-63 Golden Eagles who went to state quarterfinalists. I was able to identify most of them especially Albert Avalos who give his life for us in Viet Nam. We were all good kids
For Brownsville, it's always 3rd and long.
No size, no speed - even back then!
Write your trump shit some where else... the man is doing his job... if u don’t like him Send the check back
Who are the idiots criticising Trump? Stay on subject.
Yes, no size but an abundance of heart and a winning attitude. A bunch of hustling kids!!
If you were around when Arval Headrick was the fullback for the Eagles, you would know that he was all heart and legs. He was amazing on the field. We lost to Warren McVea's who made it to the NFL, but we never gave up. Coach Parker continued to back his boys up even after graduation, staying behind them and supporting them. That is what our coaches did then and they were not payed the amount of money the current coaches get. For those who say that we came short from a win, were you on or did you ever try to get on the team?
The haters are the non-achivers, the nerds, the bafoons, los idiotas and they squad here because nobody else wants them, ANONYMOUS is their ticket. At that time they were the cheerleaders wearing medias, now they are the perverts...
No maricones cheerleaders here, NOW THAT'S FOR SURE!!!
Arval was a halfback, Jim ticer was the fullback.
Rubio was the fullback and also quaterback and NOBODY stood in front of Rubio and that's a fact...
Some of these guys played tackle football on weekends at Cummings
Onta el cheque Pat?
La doce contra la west, or la moraya, el ramireno, o las prietas, almost every weekend and good games and fun...all at cummings.
RUBIO FULLBACK,NOT IN 62-63.
The Rubios’ Rene n Lupe,... good athletes
Lupin R he played with Headrick and was a full back and backup QB.
It’s amazing how time flies. I remember as a former student from Longoria watching this team playing on campus like it was yesterday. Thx 4 the memories of those yesteryears
A time capsule to the past... in simple times when playing during recess gave us the freedom to makeup our own games with our own rules
Juanito thanks again for sharing
Where are they now?
