Down Trails of Victory Part 2?

Before this season started I was lucky enough to buy a copy of Buck Ford's Down Trails of Victory...It is a must read for any PN-G Football fan. The book is filled with stories and photos dating back to the early 20's at the dawn of Indian tradition. The book unfortunately ends after the 1994 season, most likely due to Buck's son Lew graduating and the Ford family moving on. Since then we have had Dutsin Long and the 1999 State Title run, and some great teams/players in these recent years. I doubt anyone could ever contend with Mr. Ford's masterpeice....but it would be great to see these years remembered as well.

I have an original and use it often to get the facts when folks start telling stories of their Football greatness!!!

Funny when they tell of their great years and they are not listed in the "list of lettermen" in the index.

You said something once about your birthday being on a day a state championship was played.

With that being said, have you talked to the football team lately? ;D
