  • Dear Sir Or Madam, the Fort Bend Gridiron Football League
    Dear Sir or Madam, The Fort Bend Gridiron Football League has been a part of our local communities for over 10 years, with a single mindset of “Building Character and Community Through Youth Football" and providing athletes with a “Smarter, Safer Way to Play.” When Bucky and Tracey Richardson started our league a decade ago, they created an organization with the mentality that all children in our communities desiring to play youth football should have the opportunity, and through their involvement, we could help provide the youth of our community with the necessary tools for them to become successful young adults. A lot of excitement regarding our league exists within Fort Bend County. We believe it is primarily because of how we differ from other youth sports organizations. The key differences of our league are that it is a zoned youth football league, where the team on which you play, is the same as the high school to which you are zoned, and the fact that it is our unique culture to support the local high school football teams and booster clubs within our communities. Often, the same kids will go on to play for their middle school and eventually high schools. The league strives to align its goals and mission with the local school district wherever possible, creating and building a “small town” feel where kids grow up wanting to become a future Panther, Longhorn, Ranger, Falcon or Charger and play under the lights on Friday night. Our organization believes that kids going to school together should be playing football together and building a trust and friendship that play a key role in building a community.

    The All-American Conference 1963-1978 The All-American Conference was the premier Ohio league during its existence. Massillon, Niles McKinley, Canton McKinley, and Warren Harding joined in 1963, with Steubenville in 1966, and Alliance in 1969. In 1979 the conference disbanded, primarily because of the dominance of Massillon.

  • Las Vegas Cowboys – 1969
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 25, No. 4 (2003) LAS VEGAS COWBOYS – 1969 BY Ace Hendricks The Las Vegas Cowboys were a team that played in the fledgling Continental Football League. They lasted a total of two seasons, went from worst to first and nearly made the last championship game in league history. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, it was also a team that was starved for attention in a city that has a tough time with professional football. It was a club made up of young men eager to show their stuff and even though they were the best team in the division, never truly were given the opportunity to show all their goods. The 1969 version of the Cowboys were a totally different entity than the one which played in 1968. It was under new management, new coaching staff and, with the exception of eight players, a totally revamped roster. It was a team that made the biggest turnaround in the Continental Football League's brief history. The squad from 1968 had been somewhat of an "undesirable" team. Brought in to the ContFL following the folding of the Quad Cities Raiders, the team failed to win a home game, fielded few "big-time" players and produced very few fans. Thus, they ended the season at 1-9, with only a 14-6 victory over the Sacramento Capitols. 1969's version of the Las Vegas Cowboys finished the regular season at 8-4, tied with the Capitols for the Pacific Division lead. In a divisional playoff, the Cowboys pounded the Californians, 31-0.

  • La Salle College High School Football: in Retrospect
    La Salle College High School Football: In Retrospect NOTE: This is the twelfth of, I hope, many retrospectives highlighting some unique history of the football program at La Salle. The topics to discuss seem endless at this time. Hope you enjoy these. Bill Wasylenko, ‘69 Issue Number Twelve: The Lombardis Of La Salle La Salle College High School has guided many young men into worthy, meaningful, and successful professions, and also have helped those young men nurture a drive for excellence in anything they seek to do. Surely, one of those passions that La Salle grads have had is a passion for coaching. Many La Salle grads have successfully coached many sports at many different schools and colleges. But one segment of those coaches are worthy of note in this retrospective, namely, those La Salle grads who became Catholic League Champion head football coaches. Twenty-one (21) seasons of Catholic League football ended with a La Salle grad holding a Catholic League Championship trophy, affectionately now known as the “Hubcap”. And the Golden Age of La Salle boys winning those championships was the 17 years between 1955 and 1971, when 12 of the 17 championships were won by “Brothers Boys”; incredible!! Let me give you a quick rundown of the nine La Salle boys who became head football coaches in the Catholic League: Ken “Cy” Simendinger ‘18: Cy was featured in a previous retrospect; he was one of the first athletic stars of La Salle, captaining the football and basketball teams. After dabbling in the fledgling NFL for one year, and also coaching at his Alma Mater (Holy Cross), and then at Gonzaga High in Washington, DC, Cy became a legendary coach for North Catholic in the 1930’s, and led the Falcons to three straight years of Catholic League championships in both football and basketball!! He coached football at North (Northeast Catholic back then) from 1930 to 1940, and his overall record was 62-22-12.

  • The Impact of Successful High School Football Teams on Local Economic Development
    Friday Night Lights, Monday Morning Growth: The Impact of Successful High School Football Teams on Local Economic Development FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, MONDAY MORNING GROWTH: THE IMPACT OF SUCCESSFUL HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAMS ON LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Rex J. Pjesky, West Texas A&M University ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relationship between the success of high school football teams and the economic success of small communities. Using a sample of 34 small towns from the Texas Panhandle, there is evidence that success on the football field is positively related to short term economic growth for two years. However, evidence for a long-term relationship is weak. JEL Classifications: H71, R11, R51Key Words: State and Local Taxation, Rural Economic Development, Small High School Sports INTRODUDCTION High school football is an important institution in rural American culture. The Friday night football game is the big event in town. The team is expected to win. If the team wins, the coaches and players are elevated to hero status. If the team loses, the kids are failures and there are calls for the coach’s job. The hopes and aspirations of the community seem to rise and fall with the win/loss record of the football team. Even Hollywood acknowledges this with movies like “Friday Night Lights,” “Varsity Blues,” and “The Best of Times.” But does a team’s record make any difference? Does the community pride that follows a winning football team create a winning community? It has been shown that mood can have a significant impact on economic outcomes. Edmans, Garcia, and Norli (2007) show that asset prices (as measured by stock returns) in a country go down following elimination from the world cup, indicating that economic processes can be impacted by non-economic events which affect the mood of the people.
