The Story of Hugh Massey and LaMarque

[Matthew328]

You learn something new every day and I knew LaMarque advanced to the 5A state championship that year and lost to Plano..but I had no idea their coach was killed in a car accident 36 hrs before a their 4th round playoff game....

I remember this well... They were rolling thru 5A at the same time we were rolling thru 4A. I remember I couldn't believe this happened... Tragic!

They were ahead of the time then.......they were throwing ball like crazy. Plano had a great game plan in the championship. I remember this and news of the accident.

I remember that too. It was my senior year and we'd just been eliminated by New Braunfels the previous weekend.
