Footnotes
*105: From the newspaper article, Penada from El Paso Jefferson won the 5th place match by default.
**138: From the newspaper article, Jim Collete from Austin L.C. Anderson won the 3rd place match by default.
However, El Paso Jefferson's El Capitan from 1975 notes Carlos Hernandez as the fourth place finisher.
I'm going to assume this was an injury default and not a disqualification until I hear otherwise.
***155: From the newspaper article, Pacilas from El Paso Burges won the 5th place match by default.
****167: From the newspaper article, Oxford from Grapevine won the 5th place match by default.
*****HWT: From the newspaper article, Mark Menez from Amarillo Caprock won the 5th place match by default.
R.L. Turner's yearbook says that Monte Shipman received honors as the runner-up MOW. I'm not sure if that's
a real accolade.
R.L. Turner's yearbook states that there were 48 teams at the state tournament.
