Boys of Fall

For the first two decades of its existence,
Austin Reagan hosted a highly successful football
program. Under coaches Travis Raven, Carroll
Lundin and Wally Freytag, the Reagan Raiders
formed a dynasty in Texas high school football
from 1967 to 1994. In 1967, 1968 and 1970 the
Raiders won Texas state championships as well
as being declared national champions by then-US
President Richard M. Nixon in 1970. Since the
mid-80's, however, the downturn in the economic
levels of the neighborhoods that feed students
into Reagan has resulted in a drop in athletic
performance records in all sports. <Wikepedia>
Nelson Field is a multi-use stadium in Austin,
Texas. It serves as home stadium for LBJ High
School, Anderson High School, and John H. Reagan
High School. The stadium's capacity is 8,800
spectators. <Wikepedia>
