Just two more little memories from the PEHS Sports Program in the mid-60's:

Byron Brown was one of the best natural athletes in Shilo in the 60's. He excelled at most sports, but was a really good, humble guy- willing to support the other guys on the team, and help them. I had just had "my bell rung" in football by a 10 - foot tall linebacker from Neepawa when Bryon says " I'll take care of him!".

Byron was always there when you needed him- the PEHS basketball team had advanced to the Manitoba Provincial Play-Offs in '65. I was so uptight in that game against those 10 foot-tall giants from Wiinnipeg-I goofed a simple pass to Byron. He says- " get your s--- together!"

Can't remember who won that game, but I'll always remember Byron Brown and what a great guy he is!

Big John was one of my main protectors and always willing to tell us in the huddle - "just run it over me, I can block him all day". The guy I recall fondly is Joe playing at fullback who, when he built up some steam, was like tackling a solid wall. Yeah - lots of thoughts and we would have won a couple if that mud patch wasn't there and if the refs weren't home town guys and if....

I have lots of good memories, Ian, of the Shilo Football team too. There were a few games we "almost won"!!! I remember alot of players but the one that stands out for me, was John Edmondson (not sure of that spelling). I believe he ended up out in B.C. He came back for one reunion for sure.

Ian's comments brought memories of playing football for PEHS. That concrete-hard, wind-swept, gopher infested field was the scene of many massacres of us wimpy, little army brats by those gigantic farm-boys from Neepawa and Carberry.
However, there were "perks'-i.e. being released early from class on Friday afternoon to ride the Service Corps bus to games and fraternizing with those lovely PEHS cheerleaders-much to the chagrin of Coach Clark!!

I was just looking at PEHS memories and noticed a picture of a panther on the old gym wall and that brought back thoughts of the football team. I can't remember our team being called the Panthers (nice logo though)or even if we had an official name. I do remember that terrible, gopher holed field we used to play on and the size of some of those Carberry and Neepawa farm boys! Both of my brothers (Rob and Andrew)and I played for PEHS over the years and they were always tough, hard fought games. But I still remember the fun and that field!
