Would the Broncos have a chance this year? Five lettermen, Charlie Wayne McNeill, Bill Hammond, John Ray Jeanes, Bill White, and Kenneth Durham had returned to the 1948 Bronco team. A sixth, Levon Paul, could not play because of an injured arm. He served the team as manager, assisted by Eldon White. McNeill carries the ball into enemy territory. Irwin and Jeanes clear the way for White. Bill White, carrying the ball for Denton, Darrell Arnold catches a touchdown pas: is stopped by a Highland Park Scottie. at Highland Park. The Broncos had a little trouble in their opening game at Graham but whipped the Steers 14-2. At Gainesville the Leopards won 19-7, and Haggai Davis scored a safety to help the Broncs down Hillsboro 8-6. Both Mineral Wells and Electra stopped the Broncos, but at Sherman they dumped the Bearcats 19-6. The competition had been rough in the non-conference games, but the purple and gold was now ready for a try at the 6-AA championship. It wouldn't be easy. Tommy Tilley end Sidney Pritchard guard Kenneth Durham tackle Allen Pierce tackle Page 79 Jack Massey end Jerry Jost end Bill White intercepted three passes to help the Broncs beat Sulphur Springs 21-14 in our first conference game. The Wildcats scared Denton by scoring twice in the last quarter. The Broncos did their best at McKinney, but the Lions took that game 18-6. After Coach Parker had talked to the boys at the half, Billy Grisham threw a pass for our only score. The next week our hopes for the title grew better when the purple and gold stopped Grand Prairie 20-12. Could they do the same to Highland Park? Charlie Wayne McNeill, who was the only memberof the Broncos to make the All-District team, played fullback. Tough and ready, he often pulled the team out of tight places. The Broncos down an opponent... Mr. Parker gives the boys a pep talk between halves... White carries the ball lor a Denton touchdown ... Charles Wayne McNeill, all district fullback ... McNeill carried the ball 211 yards against conference opponents, averaging 6 yards per play. Bronco blockers were helpful in clearing the way. But Denton was doomed by the Highland Park jinx to wear a long face at the game with the Scotties. They had two men to our one and simply overpowered us. Darrell Arnold and Bill Hammond scored the purple and gold touchdowns as the Scotties swamped us 46-14. For the 18th straight year, Highland Park had won the district championship. The Broncos went into a huddle and vowed they shan't do it again. Denton had the spirit and the players, and it looked as if the 18-year-old jinx would be broken. McNeill goes over for a Bronco touchdown ... This is a tense moment at the Highland Park Game. White (far left) carries the ball right through the opposing line ...

We were the only team in the district to beat the champions, Highland Park. Our 39-38 victory over the Scotties was a good one to end the season.
