| Tom Landry was born in Mission, Texas, and played for Mission High School where he led his Senior year football team to a 12-0 record. His most impressive professional accomplishment is his record for coaching the Dallas Cowboys to 20 consecutive winning seasons (1966–1985), an NFL record that remains unbroken and unchallenged. It remains one of the longest winning streaks in all of professional sports history. |
It was a clean sweep...

Great post, Diana.
ReplyDeleteBut Geez.. I don't know any of those trivia question answers. Well, Cynthia Garza and Krystie Buckley were 2 of the cheerleaders I think.
About a do-over, I think I would work harder in Mrs. Wolfrum's English class. (I barely got by.)
Nancy,
ReplyDeleteWeren't you one of the nominees for Ms. MHS? I know John Leidner was for Mr. MHS, but I can't remember anyone else. Marta Kelly was another cheerleader. I believe the rest were juniors...Yolanda Guerrero, Teresa Seitz...
