Guys we stroke gold pics coming

That would be sweet PA. Not to mention it just makes Lufkin football look better. I have no idea why they nothing about the 43 state runner up team either.

Thanks bro I will certainly be looking for him.

The pictures of the link I posted was not Dunbar vs Daingerfield. I got that confirmed on smoakey.

Maybe we should email the new SI and push for banners to be hung somewhere at Abe Martin. I just think it is an injustice to just forget like Dunbar never existed. I think the sickest thing ever would be to have a alternate Dunbar throw back all-black jersey and pants complete replica of course tight fit new look with Dunbar across the chest uniforms. I think they would be extremely symbolic not only towards he black community but for Lufkin football period.

My grandpa seems to think it is Dunbar. What makes me think that it is if you look at the Dangerfield helmet you can almost tell that it it seems to have that trademark D on the helmet just from the portion that you can see. It did pop up when I googled Lufkin Dunbar. I wish Abe Martin Stadium would add the Dunbar championship banners somewhere on the facility. It is still a part of Lufkin football history.

Hard to tell but I went to google images and typed in Lufkin Dunbar football and out of a bunch of images I found this connected to some UIL Link and I cant see the helmet clearly of the defender on the WR but it sure does look like it could be that trade mark Daingerfield D on the helmet. Not to mention the WR going for the pass has on black uniforms wish it was in color so I could see the color of the stripes.Maybe PA can go take a look. I think it is Dunbar hope I am right.

This has been a real treat PA. Thanks. Hopefully we can get more people that can share as well. I wonder if anyone has any kind of pictures or videos out there they could share.

That is awesome PA. I found a little information on them how they won 3 PVIL 3A state championships and competed in the UIL 2A for 2 years. Losing to Dangerfield and then going undefeated in 69 but Klein advanced on penetration to the championship the next week. What was it like going to watch them play ? Did you have to watch from the outside ? Was it like who is this white guy watching us play lol ?

http://lonestarfootball.net/team.asp?T=7237&S=1968 I found that there 2 years in the UIL 68 and 69 they where 17-1-2 and we all know about the 3 PVIL championships. What can you older guys tell me about Dunbar. What was the school colors ? How good where they ? Could they beat Lufkin back then ? Did they every play Lufkin in any sport ? What was the chances this could still be a HS today ? Like Dallas Lincoln,Houston Yates, FW Dunbar and a handful of others that refused to merge. I need help from the old timers. Any information would be great.

Amen
