This is my Dad who videoed this. I was in 8th grade that year. Coincidentally, I have coached football at Arlington High the past 20+years.

I was in 8th grade that year as well, watching from the Mojo stands.

I sent this link to several of the old Permian players... Shawn Crow to name one. This is fascinating stuff. We MOJO faithful have seen the same footage of it over and over from our local CBS affiliate, but this REALLY let us see it from the Arlington sideline.

My first roommate at UT (Fall 1987) was from Arlington, Lamar High School. He always wore vikings stuff like the minnesota vikings LOL. This is obviously a different high school but interesting to relive those days.....Back then you only read about it in the newspaper.
