Too bad we did not go the Coliseum and pay the $10 for admission and brought home some game programs as souvenirs. They would be worth a pretty penny today.

In hindsight, we should have gone to the game. However, in those days, except for high school football games and an occasional Dodger or Angel game, we rarely attended sporting events.

I had made my first visit to the Coliseum about a month before the Super Bowl, on December 16, 1966, to watch the El Rancho High School Dons of Pico Rivera defeat the Anaheim High School Colonists to win the California Interscholastic Federation championship. El Rancho, arguably the best team in the nation that year, was a rival of my alma mater Whittier High School, but my mother taught English at El Rancho, so we went to the game and rooted for the Dons.

But these days, I'm very familiar with the Coliseum. Since 1973, I have attended all but a few USC home games there. I have also been to 15 Rose Bowl games.

Sorry, but according to High School Football National Championship

In 1967 the High School National Football Champion was a tie:
Reagan Austin (TX) 14-0
& Coral Gables Coral Gables (FL) 13-0
BTW the next year... they tied again. However, in 1970, Austin Reagan won it all by themselves.
