Olney and Burkburnett met and the officiating was so bad the Burk fans attacked the officials after the game. Burk was prohibited from playing a high school the next year..1962 so they played a Junior College schedule using the open spots on the JC schedules, and went undefeated.

We played Lawton Eisenhower, Altus, and Duncan before entering into the district with Brownwood, Stephenville, Iowa Park, and Vernon. You cannot tell me the Okie boys don't play just as hard. Our coach had the longest winning streak in Oklahoma HS football at Lindsay back in the early 60's.

I wouldn't. I was one of them. Up in northern Oklahoma in the fifties. Class C it was at the time.

And, during an away game, you could've laid an artillery barrage on downtown Medford...and hit nobody.

I imagine it was much the same at Burkburnett.
