P.I. Tarpons, I think. Son was QB. They lost to Cameron Yoe in the early 80's or late 70's.
It was in 1981 PI lost to Cameron Yoe 25 14 in the semifinal game, & Cameron Yoe went on and won State over Childress 35 –7
1981 (3A)
and the coach was Tommy Roberts and his son’s name was Terry
1978-1981 Tommy Roberts 46-4-1:
Oh yea Tarpons fans remember that game well;
…“When the '81 team played Cameron Yoe in the Semifinals, they also had this huge big running back. I don't know what his size was but this guy would carry three to four Tarpons with him when running the ball. I remember there was always two Tarpons, at the line, that would go for the legs and then there would be two to three more Tarpons hitting him to knock him down and the back would get a first down every time he touched the ball. Ask any Tarpon player that played defense that game and they will tell you that no matter how hard they hit this guy, he would not go down. And then on Offense, Terry Roberts went up the middle and got hit so hard that he bounced back from the line of scrimmage. He later said that it was like running into a brick wall, literally.”
