Snyder High School Hall of Fame

I had never had the opportunity to attend the induction of Hall of Famers for Snyder but what a thrill this must be for the honorees. My select inductee was Leslie Brown who was certainly a hometown hero for Snyder.

He did everything he possibly could for the sports programs in Snyder ending with his graduation in 1965. Baseball, football, basketball. If it ended in 'ball' he did it! And then he continued to do it all through his adult career as well, coaching all across the state of Texas.

He was inducted by Bob O'Day.

And certainly he was among some of Snyder's best. This is Mr. Brown with the other inductees.

What would a day like this be without your old teammates? These men certainly went on to their own personal successes, but knowing that the glory days helped to form the men they would become.

I have a feeling they could tell some stories!

Jerry Vestal was on hand to celebrate with his teammate too.

The current Snyder football head coach stops to congratulate Mr. Brown as well.

It just goes to show you kids. You never know when EXCELLENCE will catch up to you. It may be a little slower in making its rounds but Snyder won't let it go unnoticed. So keep yourselves to the task, it WILL payoff!
