Russellville has one state championship in 1933.  The AAA recognizes it.  Look in the sports in review page 43.

FWIW....Fulsom also came from Forth Worth, not Fort Smith.

My guess is the Mavericks would have loved to have had him the last few years if that were the case.   ;)

Actually FWIW Pr8hd, Fulsom came from Fort Worth, TX, not Fort Smith nor Forth Worth. You better have the Wizard of OzWood update your spell check next time he tunes up the Bulldogs Live Stream! Wink, wink...
