Football coaches Louis Kelly, Jerry Meers, Tommy Thornhill, Vice-Principal Curtis Gipson and Colonel George Van Fleet gave the Matadors encouragement. While alumni, Larry Issac and Cassandra Murphy, didn’t waste any time to urge on the Matadors. Also involved in the 76-77 pep rallies were TV personalities Bill MacAlister and Ed Mooney.
