ONE LAST CHEER

The story on Jerome High School (“One Last Cheer for the Muckers”) which appeared in your 1998 edition was excel- lent. If I can ever be of help on anything, just drop us a line. I've followed northern Arizona football for years.

On September 3, Mesa Mountain View will open at Kingman. It should be a good clash between two 5A final four teams. Your publications are always the greatest

Charles Cook Kingman, Arizona

"It was great for both my mom and I to read about my father, the last football coach the school had. Mom got to relive some very fond memories of dad doing what he loved to do best. Coach high school football.”

Enclosed find a check for two copies of your 1998 Arizona Football magazine, with the story about football in Jerome, “One Last Cheer for the Muckers.” I watched many a game on “The Hill” before our family - because of the bad economy - was forced to move. My father was trans- ferred to the mine in Ajo before I attended high school. But the best years were in Jerome. Go Muckers!

Landon Labrum Tucson

Just a note to say what a great job your magazine did on football in Jerome. It was great for both my mom and I to read about my father, Don Snyder, the last foot- ball coach the school had before the mine closed. My mom in particular got to relive some very fond memories of dad doing what he loved to do best. Coach high school football.

Jack Snyder Sun City

I am really impressed with the outstand- ing job you do for football in the state of Arizona. Your latest copy with the feature on Jerome High School covered the subject very well. I appreciate very much your including me in the story, It will make a big hit with my family and friends. The local media, print, radio and television do not come close to what you do,

Waldo Dicus was my coach in 1937, and he was responsible for not only my being selected to the all-state team, but also help- ing me earn a scholarship to the University of Arizona, He was an outstanding coach. Robert S. Svob Tucson

I have been reading your publications for years, dating back to my high school days in Scottsdale in the late 1970s. However, you outdid yourself with the story about the history of football at Jerome. I never even knew that Jerome had a high school, much less one with good football teams. The strength of your magazine each year is the stories of the past. It’s like getting a football preview and an history lesson rolled into one.

Mark Goodrich

Flagstaff

My father, Max Jurnovich, played foot- ball at Jerome High School during the Great Depression, and used to talk about the “Muckers” when we were growing up in Dawson (N.M.). Dawson was a Phelps Dodge town, just like Jerome.

And just like Jerome, Dawson is closed. In fact, the whole town is gone. The com- pany tore it down sometime after World War II, about the same time they closed the mines in Jerome. I was surprised when a relative in Phoenix mailed us your 1998 football magazine, with the story about Jerome, It is too bad my father is not around to read it.

Marion Jurnovich Raton, N.M.

ROUGH, TOUGH RIVALRY

It was great to see a recent story about the glory days in Bisbee and Douglas (“A Rough, Tough Rivalry No More”), before the mines closed. Newcomers to Arizona have no idea how good high school foot- ball was in our state’s mining towns, before the copper industry went to “you know where.”

My father was in the military, stationed near Bisbee, and we grew up watching the Pumas play. Just like your story said, play- ers like Bill Penn, Hadley Hicks or Ted Sorich would have been star players on big city teams.

Randy Livingston Los Angeles

Just a note to express my appreciation for your annual football magazine. I always enjoy reading this publication, especially the issue on the Douglas-Bisbee rivalry.

Dr. Marcelino Varona, Jr. Principal

Nogales High School Nogales, Arizona

BIG RED MACHINE

It was refreshing to read a story written by people in Phoenix, admitting that good high school football is actually played somewhere else.

I agree that the best high school football teams ever in Arizona came out of Tucson High, probably the great state champi- onship teams coached by Ollie Mayfield. Even though our state is small, we have had more than our share of great teams. But very few championship teams had the talent and speed of the “Big Red Machine.”

Keep up the good work.

Rudy Pollock Tucson

I really enjoyed the recent issue of Arizona Football Magazine because of the article on Tucson High. Enclosed find a check for another copy, as I promised to get one for L.D. Scott, as his picture is in the inside cover blocking for John Black against Albuquerque High.

Fred Enke, Jr. Casa Grande

HALL OF FAME GREATS You guys have done a commendable job of recognizing high school athletes. Hopefully, something can be done to reestablish the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame, to recognize some of the former greats. Frank Kush Arizona Boys Ranch

The only thing wrong with high school football in Arizona today is there is no hall of fame to recognize them, or the stars of the past, as is the case in most states. Perhaps with the help of a magazine like yours, this can become a reality some day. Your football edition is great, one of the best I've seen in the country.

Keep the magazine coming.

Kevin Elsworth Flagstaff

Just received your 1998 preseason foot- ball magazine. Great job. Many quality football players have come from the Arizona high school programs. I know, I used to live in Arizona. It says a lot for the systems and the coaching.
