1942 Hamlet High School Football Team

Post by bedford1864 »

Hello,
I am new to the Forum so please excuse me if this has already been posted at some time. My dad, Dick Cosby, gave me this pic of the 1942 Hamlet High Football team. He and Joe Maurice identified the men in it, I believe. To the best of his knowledge, he, Joe Maurice and Burnell McGirt are the only surviving members. Please correct me if that is incorrect. Listed below are the men.
Thanks, Wayne Cosby
