Inis reminds me of another time and another team involving a famous coach from Cisco. His name was Weldon Bailey Chapman. He had winning teams at Cisco High for 9 years developing a reputation for the area as a football power and coaching the original Big Dam Loboes. He went to the Semi-Finals twice with the Loboes in 1924 and 1925, but could never win a State Championship. He later coached at Lubbock and his 1938 team was State Runner-Up, but the 1939 Team won the State Title. Coach Chapman died during the play-offs that last year and they buried him in Cisco and brought the State Title Trophy back and had a ceremony over his grave. That’s not all. The 1939 Lubbock team lost their first 3 games that year and tied the fourth game. Postscript: Cisco JV vs CC 21-0 at half W; 8th grade Cisco vs CC 38 - 0; 7th grade Cisco vs CC 26-0; Cisco College lost to Trinity Valley 3-37.
