The only football season I’ve found for the LaGrange Longhorns came in 1961, and for the past few years I had only found one game for that season — a 46-13 loss to Lingle.
Well, this week, I finally found some more info on the Longhorns’ 1961 season and I’ve added five more games to the Longhorns’ history. Sadly, for LaGrange, it didn’t get much better.
From what I’ve found, LaGrange finished the 1961 season with a 1-5 record. This week, I added four new games to the LaGrange season — a 27-6 loss to Bushnell, Neb., on Sept. 23, a 47-0 victory over Lyman, Neb., on Oct. 21, a 25-20 loss to Harrisburg, Neb., on Oct. 24 and a 15-7 loss to Pine Bluffs on Oct. 28. I also added a 25-8 loss to Huntley on Oct. 5 (a game that had been on the missing games list).
Here are the other updates I’ve recently made:
Coaches Project: Recent updates for Basin, Byron, Cowley, Dayton, Deaver-Frannie, Encampment, Farson, Greybull, Hanna, Hulett, Huntley, LaGrange, Lander, Lingle, Manderson, Moorcroft, Morton, Ranchester, Reliance, St. Mary’s, St. Stephens, Saratoga, Snake River/Baggs, Sundance, Sunrise, Superior, Wheatland, Worland Institute.
My new pet peeve school is Huntley. I need names of coaches for Huntley more than I need them for any other school at this point. Any help that anyone can toss my way as far as the Cardinals are concerned would be greatly appreciated…. To see everything I’m missing, click here.
Missing games: Found the score for Deaver-Frannie’s 40-0 victory over Manderson on Oct. 5, 1957. I also noted that two games — the Encampment-Hanna game on Oct. 18, 1957, and the Meeteetse-Burlington game on Nov. 1, 1957 — were canceled because of flu outbreaks.
All the updates have been made on all the relevant pages.
