Cuero alumni share memories of a dynasty

Cuero of late has been awash in stories of the golden season of the 1974 Gobbler State Championship.

From the winning superstitions to the great Dallas Cowboy quarterback Roger Staubach speaking at the athletic banquet, those who experienced the weekly games, on and off the field, have been recalling special details that sweetened the undefeated season. And only in reflection can the full impact of a historical era be seen.

This Friday, a special pre-game ceremony will honor the 1974 team and coaches starting promptly at 6 p.m. before the Gobbler home game with Corpus Christi Miller. School alumni are also encouraged to attend a reception at the high school cafeteria from 4-6 p.m.
