Brinkley (Gus Rusher) vs Des Arc (John Wayne Cunningham)

Brinkley over Des Arc 6-0 in a monsoon rain storm (remnants of a Gulf hurricane).

Most games in AR cancelled that night.

john wayne was born in march of 47, so if I was betting, I would bet 65.  passed away in 96. he and my father were good friends.

1965 it was.

National Weather Service shows 6+ inches of rain in Des Arc on Sept. 10 and 11. 1965. Remnants of Hurricane Betsy. (at the time, largest damage ever on record)

If there was ever a game played in a flood, that was it!

Cunningham went on to Ouachita ?

Rusher, I can't remember.

I believe he did go to O.B.U.
