Your Jersey Number

[echeese]

19, cause that's what the coach handed me.

64 for the same reason . .

Though I lobbied for 97. . .to be our 1st 90's jersey. ..

I have a TEXAS practice jersey #97

 

[Shevis Irons]

70 in football.

19 in baseball.

I also was always just one guy away from making the traveling Team in Tennis. I was in the position of hoping a friend would flunk a test, get sick, have a relative pass away or their girlfriends parents go out of town.

First number I ever wore was 25 as a five year old third baseman cause I wanted to be Buddy Bell then the next year I switched to 23v and wore it for every appearance playing and coaching till I quit putting on a Jersey

 

[Coleman Feeley]

70 in football.....

I'm trying to think who you are.  I played with Mike Cotton and Bobby Nunis, at AHS - both who played at UT (did you know Nunis has passed away?).  Was Jim Tolbert your coach?  Was Wallace Dockall still the basketball coach?  Did Dockall still teach chemistry?

(He was instrumental in helping me decide to enter the medical profession, by-the-way)

my Name is Jim Raup, AHS class of 1963

Tolbert was my football coach, Gayland Walker was basketball, and Travis Raven was baseball. Dockall was gone.

I did not know about Nunis. were you on the great team with Cotten, Nunis, Shulte, Jester, Newton et al that lost to Port Arthur in the semis?

Seventeen, my birthday.  I would NEVER choose a number because it was worn by some athlete I admired.

No, Jim, I graduated in '57 and AHS never won district in my days.  Raven was my BB coach as well (a good looking guy that all the women loved. ).  I could tell you some stories about Don Jester and his pal, Tim Overton.  Both of them were sophs when I was a senior.  Cotton was the starting QB when he was a 10th grader - he was that good.  DKR recruited him because he was an excellent split T QB and that was what Royal was running at UT at the time.
