Couple of years older than them guys but played LL with most. Knew everyone of them personally. They were a great group. And Don Minton was everything said there and more. Not a smart a## in the group. And, imo, Coach Payne, although only in Vidor for two years (retired as I remember), was one of the best coaches ever in this area. And one thing they left out, and it's just a personal opinion thing, they had the best looking uniforms I've ever seen in football anywhere. Old gold with white, bordered in black, numbers, and stripes over shoulders and down side of legs, with a white belt. Heard the old gold faded, so they had to switch after a few years to black.
