In 1977 Wheelwright had its best team to date. Coached by Daniels and Shorty Jamerson. Some of the players were Jamerson’s son, the Issac bothers, Thornsberry, Reed, Johnson, Hall brothers, Issac and I’m sorry I cannot remember everyone of you. If I remember correctly they had the best record and were to head to state championship, but the powers that be were sending a team with an inferior record. Coach Jamerson went to the powers that be to plead Wheelwright’s case. It was political that Wheelwright Football wouldn’t got to state. I’m not a Wheelwright alumnus, but I traveled over 450 miles almost every Friday to watch them play. They had great coaches that expected the players to be more than football player. They were being taught to be good men. They were exciting to watch and their supporters were great.
