Jacksboro

And as I say, it used to be called the American Way.

My mother used to say, "Who thought I could go to a formal black tie dinner in Waldorf Astoria? I was from Jacksboro, Texas." [laughs] Right? One of 10 kids, you know.

Um, and it was all self-improvement.

All self-improvement.

Top five.

Troop, Idaloo, Newton, Jacksboro, Jefferson.

This has been one where there's been a lot of churn at the beginning.

Like, for example, there's a number of teams that started the year in the top 10 that are no longer with us.

We were in Snyder out for a while.

I graduated high school from Jacksboro.

My grandfather ran a he was they called him a pumper jack.

He worked for Texaco and ran this big giant oil lease between Jacksboro and Alney.

Yep.

Yep, a lot of oil money there for sure.

When I would go visit as a little kid during the summer, rattlesnakes everywhere.

Jessica would not have survived

From the small amount of information published about Soldier of Fortune, Thomas E. Davis, it is known that he was born in McKinney, Texas, north of Dallas, hometown of the Clary Bates family.

and died from accidental electrocution in Jacksboro, 1973, supposedly in the act of stealing copper wire.

Researchers have discovered that Davis was sprung from the Tangiers' jail, possibly before or at the time of the assassination by a mysterious intelligence agent known as Q.J. Wynn, whose identity is uncertain.

No, it's not.

They worked for five months, but then this fort was ordered evacuated, and its place was taken by a new one, Fort Griffin, some 37 miles up the Clear Fork of the Brazos from Belknap.

Now, to extend the northeasterly trending line of forts closer to the Indian Territory, the army built Fort Richardson near the present town of Jacksboro.

The site chosen as the replacement for Fort Chadbourne to be called Fort Concho was at the confluence of the North Concho River with the combined waters of the Middle Concho, Spring Creek, Dove Creek, and the South Concho, the last three named streams being fed by bountiful springs.

This abundance of water and the geographically central location marked the spot as the natural convergence of trails from East, Northeast, and South Texas before they headed westward for Horsehead Crossing and El Paso.

After a futile chase, Colonel McKenzie headed for Fort Sill, commanded by Colonel Benjamin H. Grierson.

There he learned that Sherman had left, but not before the chiefs Satank, Sitting Bear, Big Tree, and Satanta, White Bear, had returned to the reservation at Sill and boasted of murdering the teamsters.

McKenzie arrested and escorted the three Indians to Jacksboro for trial in the Texas court.

Satank purposely got himself killed by a guard on the march, but Satanta and Big Tree were later sentenced to prison in the state penitentiary at Huntsville.

Yeah, that's a great win for Lake Dallas over Crum.

And then Jacksboro.

Jacksboro's a state-ranked three-division two-team.

They lost by two touchdowns.

So it's not like...
