Jack Gibson and North
Mesquite’s David Snokhous.
Gage, who led the Farmers to
the Class 5A Division II state title
in 1993, is one of three coaches
on the list who have achieved
such a feat. Gaines led Odessa
Permian to a Class 5A title in
1989, while Woods guided
Wilmer-Hutchins to a Class 4A
title in 1990.
The Farmer head coach con-
firmed Thursday that he had
applied for the opening but would
not comment further. His inter-
view was held on Thursday. Since
taking over the Farmers’ pro-
gram in 1991, Gage has posted a
record of 48-15-3.
Also confirming he had applied
for the job was Brittain, who led
the Marauders to a 15-1 record
this season and a berth in the
Class 5A Division II State

Becoming Bell’s next head
football coach has its benefits.
The Bell football program is still
strong, after reaching the play-
offs last season. They play their
home games at state-of-the-art
Pennington Field and the salary
is one of the best in the
Metroplex.
In 1995, Edwards’ base salary
was $71,644, and reached close to
$75,000 after the addition of a
$300 monthly car stipend, accord-
ing to one coach.

clutch free throws down the
stretch.
Overall, the difference came at
the free throw line where Rider
sank 25 of 34 while the Cougars
hit 15 of 24 attempts.
“We had opportunities,” the
Cougar head coach said. “We just
couldn’t convert.”
Against Keller, the contest was
tied at 51 with four minutes
remaining, but the Indians made
the plays down the stretch for a
59-56 win, their first in league
action.
Thomas was very pleased with
the play of senior Aaron Darden,
who has continued to develop his
basketball skills each game since
joining the squad at the end of
football season. Rino Philip also
added an offensive spark.
This week, the Cougars face a
pair of critical tests against two of
the top clubs in the district,
Lewisville and Denton Ryan.
“We’ve put ourselves in a tough
spot with Lewisville and Denton
Ryan this week,” Thomas said.
“They are both outstanding
clubs.
“We’re down right now, but
definitely not out, to say the least.
If we can get a break and win one,
I think we’ll get things headed
back in the right direction. I real-
ly believe that a team could still
make the playoffs with six or
seven losses in this district. It’s
that competitive.”

Here’s a sports question for you...Which recent Heisman 1
Trophy winner in college football wound up- -not in pro football- - 1
but in the National Basketball Association?...Answer is Charlie i
Ward who won the Heisman as a quarterback for Florida State in ,
1993...But he went info pro basketball with the Knicks in the NBA. |
Here’s an amazing fact from golf...The leading money-winner 1813
on the PGA tour in 1934 was Paul Runyan- -and his total winnings rat
for the year were $6,767...He was the LEADING money- r'cet
winner...Today’s leaders earn more than $1 million. E
Did you know that football players didn’t wear helmets during
the first 27 years that football was played?...The first helmet was *
designed and worn by a player at Lafayette, George Darclay, in Yon
1896...Some players played without helmets as late as the , 1
1930s...It wasn’t till 1937 that a rule was passed requiring all r , '
