Waltrip High School

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE "NEW" ADDITIONS OF
"old" NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS, ETC.

Waltrip is the only high school in Houston to win the city championship in FOOTBALL and BASKETBALL in the same school year . 1966 1967. Only two of our guys played on both of those two teams Tim Duff and David Yaege.

THE RAMS STARTED THE SEASON RANKED NO. 7 IN THE STATE AND FINISHED NO.7.  WE HAD 7 PLAYERS TO MAKE THE ALL-CITY TEAM HARRY HARWELL, DAVID YAEGE, JIMMY SHEFFIELD, GARY ARMBRISTER, TIM DUFF, FRANK DITTA, AND PAUL BOYLE.
DAVID YAEGE LED THE CITY IN INTERCEPTIONS. JIMMY SHEFFIELD LED THE CITY IN PASSING - A RECORD THAT HAD STOOD FROM 1955. AS A TEAM WE LED THE CITY IN TOTAL OFFENSE. AT LEAST 10 OR MORE PLAYERS WERE OFFERED COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS. OUR DEFENSE WAS NO. 3 IN THE CITY.
