Why did the old coach leave? I know he
blew a play-off game against us a couple
of years ago. All Perryton had to do was
run out the clock on our own three yard
line and he tried to score a TD. The RB
fumbled and we drove it the length of
the field in the waning seconds for a TD.
Final score Sweetwater 28...Perryton 27.
Just wondering if he was "re-assigned"
or what.

From the Amarillo Globe:
============================

PERRYTON - Perryton Independent School District Superintendent Mike Jackson announced Thursday his recommendation of Neal Hugg to become athletics director and head football coach.
The recommendation will go before Perryton's seven-person school board Feb. 23.

Former head football coach Gary Newcomb retired in November as the school's all-time wins leader. Athletics director and head baseball coach Bill Merrell will focus on his assistant football coaching and baseball coaching duties.

Hugg has been the athletics director and head football coach at Class 1A Crosbyton the past eight years, carrying a record of 41-43.

"He's a person of outstanding character," Jackson said. "He knows all the Xs and Os, and he knows how to design and run a program. I'm confident he's the right person for the job."

Man, Huggs didn't have a very good record at Crosbyton. Perryton is used to winning in football, I wonder if this will be a good hire. Who's in Crosbyton's district? Were they in a tough district where it was just hard to win? I would think Perryton would go after someone who has been more successful. Maybe the Sup. and Huggs are friends.:thinking:

Obviously, I haven't kept up with my alma mater too well, since I had never heard of Coach Huggs. :doh: New Deal & Hale Center are generally the teams to beat district, even back in the clay tablet days when I was in school. I wondered if there might be a prior connection between them, as well.

One of the worst games I ever attended, as far as weather, was my Sr. year against New Deal. Butt-ugly cold, wind, snow & sleet...probably the one night I was thankful for the wool band uniforms. Coach Vance has a story about that same night. We got our tails handed to us.
