Notes: The GHSA member list for 1970-71 has a curiosity. Claxton is not listed, but Evans County is. Was there a one-year decision to use that name or was Claxton inadvertantly omitted and the GIA Evans County lived for another year? The Longhorns won football titles in 1964 and 1967 and lost to Fair Street in the 1956 finals.
