Well, the story runs a little deeper than that. Amazing he hung around as long as he did. Student could not spell CAT if you gave him the C and the A. Pretty sure she never changed the student's grade. When he turns to leave he sees me for the first time. Told her to give the player a passing grade for football purposes. The door suddenly slammed open and Tusa barges in and threatened the 5'3" teacher. I was sitting in the back of the room near the door. I had to come in early the next day to take the test.
I missed a test due to a short family vacation. I personally heard J Tusa threaten to have a teacher fired if she did not change a football player's grade in 1987.

Plus Tusa had the State 100 Meter Champion, (James Walker. The season before consolidation Long was RB at Jefferson-Moore (1,400 yards rushing) and Dow was an All-State DT (plus All-State in Soccer) at Richfield. QB Ted Long (Oklahoma), FB Bubba Dow (Cornell) and HB Chili Green (North Texas State). That was one heck of a backfield that season. Elliot went on to be an All-American at Texas Tech and got a Super Bowl ring with the Cowboys. On the next play Elliot missed a 49 yarder by inches. I believe that was the game that Lin Elliot had a 41 yard FG blocked on 3rd down and Waco High recovered the block. My HS played Waco Hig hand Jeff-Moore while I was in HS but after I graduated, they consolidated. While at BU, I attended the Temple-Waco High game at Paul Tyson field.Temple won 29-28 as I recall.packed house. They took the Waco High name, the Lions mascot from Jeff-Moore, and the Richfield colors (red & gray) to make new Waco High. Jeff-Moore, Richfield, and Waco High (Tigers) all closed and were consolidated into the new Waco HS. It's located at the Richfield campus but they did add some new buildings and upgraded others. This happened all at the same time - 1986/87 was the first year of 'New' Waco High. I want to believe Waco is a different place now.
That was over 30 years ago, so it's best to leave them alone. I have my own views about why this "consolidation" was done, and some ugly opinions of the people involved and their subsequent actions. Having that many 9th graders in what looks like an open air market bazaar wasn't exactly conducive to an orderly environment. More rolling chalkboards create sectioned off classroom spaces. The top floor is basically a squared ring with the center open for a view of the library. The outer ring is classrooms formed by "walls" of rolling chalkboards separating the different spaces. The second floor is an open floor with a smaller square sectioned off in the middle for the library. The bottom floor looks kind of like a basement with traditional walls. The 9th grade was entirely housed in the old Jefferson-Moore campus.Įssentially, the main building is a square. I was in the first class to experience the "consolidated" Waco High School. We visited and studies JMHS in my Masters Education classes. It was an open classroom concept with every classroom wired into a central Video system where teachers could pull up pretaped lessons. JMHS was built to be the most technologically advanced HS in Texas. With those done, here are the current head coaching jobs still open (with their record last season): If the Trojans had better players around him the big boys would have come calling. He was kinda good at football.Īlthough LT was great in high school, University has always sucked at football. LaDamian Tomlinson from University was a pretty good runner at TCU.īoody Johnson at Waco High was a charter inductee in the Texas High School football hall of Fame.įort Worth Star Telegram named Boody to all eleven positions one season on their All-State Team. (3A question) Has University ever been good in sports, even with Walter Abercrombie? (1B) Closed Jeff-Moore and Richfield (same time?) and formed a new larger Waco High. (1A) Closed the old Waco High and built a new one (4) Richfield- built around 1960 when the country realized that the Babyboomers were coming (look at how many high schools were built in Texas around 1960. (3) University- built sometime in the late 1940's or early 1950's? (2) Jefferson-Moore- the black school in pre-integration days.
(1) Waco High-great in football in the old days. PartyBear, I need someone to test my memory of WISD high schools.
