C
C
C
You
know
the
ones
that
we're
honoring
the
tenant
we're
honoring
tonight,
but
the
past
I
mean
I've
visited
with
some
folks
I
hadn't,
seen
in
60
years,
and
they
were
part
of
looking
at
look
at
those
guys
and
look
at
what
they
have
accomplished
and
and
again
look
at
look
around
you'll
see
some
of
those
people
that
meant
so
much
to
you
growing
up
and
right
now.
You
know
leaving
that
Legacy
for
those
for
these
babies
that
are
leaving
behind
it
that
they
play
at
Biloxi
Sports
every
day.
C
So
it's
a
great
great
big
pleasure
for
me
to
be
the
mayor
here
and
being
a
little
part
of
honoring
the
you
know
the
legendary
people
that
have
made
Biloxi
so
strong
and
actually
add
to
the
the
strength
and
of
fabric
of
Biloxi.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
get
out
the
way
and
we're
going
to
go
forward
with
these
these,
they
call
these
tombstones
I.
C
Think
these
little
plastic
things
we're
going
to
present
that
but
I
heard
that
on
television
but
I
do
want
to
thank
Sherry
and
see
you
and
everybody
and
everybody
who
has
participated
in
in
sports
over
these
years,
because
it's
made
Biloxi
the
tremendous
place.
It
is
so.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
B
We
are
very
fortunate
to
have
a
Biloxi
Sports
Hall
of
Fame
and,
like
I
said
again.
We
are
very
fortunate
to
have
all
of
these
athletes
that
have
spent
hours
while
they
were
growing
up
putting
in
time
into
becoming
an
athlete
that
they
are
now
being
honored
for
officially
and
for
history
here
in
Biloxi,
okay,
now
I'm
going
to
call
Biloxi,
Parks
and
Recreation
director
sharabelle
Cheryl
Bell
up
to
say
a
few
words
before
we
begin
the
actual
presentation.
D
Oh,
thank
you,
hello
and
welcome.
I
want
to
first
start
off
by
thanking
all
my
staff.
It's
the
whole
entire
apartment,
from
Aquatics
to
Parks
and
Recreation
beautification
in
the
office.
They
help
with
all
the
setup
the
cooking
John
Miller.
What
are
they
called
still
the
Biloxi
Brigade
that
cooked
the
fish
and
all
the
policemen
they
do
a
great
job
too.
So
thank
you.
D
I
want
to
thank
Miss,
bondale
and
chief
Miller
in
B1
and
B2
and
B3
right
for
singing
and
doing
the
pledge.
So
I
want
to
also
thank
Biloxi,
High
Athletics
and
the
superintendent
we
met
several
months
ago
and
was
discussing
on
how
to
increase
our
numbers
to
get
the
kids
involved
in
the
high
school
level.
So
what
we've
done
is
we've
gotten
a
high
school
involved
in
our
Recreation
program.
D
D
We
met
and
we
decided
we
wanted
to
increase
our
numbers
this
year
and
I
can
honestly
say
we
went
from
275
to
almost
400
this
year
and
that
is
in
yep,
and
that
is
because
the
high
school
is
real
involved
in
as
they
came
out
to
our
tryouts
and
they
came
out
to
our
registration.
So
we
will
continue
going
with
that.
I
thought.
The
high
school
baseball
team
was
still
here.
D
Ronnie
I
was
going
to
tell
them
to
look
all
around
here
and
soak
up
all
this
history
of
sports
in
Biloxi
and
I
think
Mercy
cross.
Also
then
I
saw
a
young
child
that
was
staring
at
that
Biloxi
High
helmet,
you
you'll,
be
there
you'll,
be
there.
So
you
know
when
I
say
history
I've
got.
We
got
people
like
Tommy
Lyons,
who
you
know
baseball
and
went
to
prose
Melvin
Brown
who
I
went
to
college
with
football
at
University
of
Mississippi.
D
So
I
want
to
thank
my
hall
of
fame
committee,
Margie
and
I
think
Mr
leiner.
They
were
all
worried
about
Larry,
worried
about
well,
I,
don't
have
pictures,
I,
don't
have
this
I.
Don't
have
that
you
have
nothing
to
worry
about.
That
committee
goes
back
50
years,
I
mean
they
are
telling
me
what
these
people
are
doing.
It's
just
amazing
and
Harold.
Savlich
was
one
of
them
that
they
told
me
as
an
eighth
grader.
He
had
pitched,
you
know
pitched
a
no-hitter
or
something
so.
D
Mr
love's
name
was
brought
up
and
they
said
you
know
they
said
oh
he's
in.
He
would
knock
the
socks
off
of
you
in
football.
So
that's
how
much
this
committee
means
and
and
how
much
detail
they
put
into
it.
I
mean
they
can
tell
you
stories
40
and
50
years
ago.
I
have
to
say:
okay,
it's
time
to
go.
Y'all,
let's
go
so
and
to
the
Williams
and
Savage
family
I
wish
I
could
have
met.
D
Mr,
Tommy
and
Mr
Harold
always
try
to
take
pride
in
meeting
them
all,
but
I
enjoyed
meeting
the
family,
Jill
and
Larry
y'all
get
Mr
Harold
a
hug
and
kiss
for
me.
Please.
D
The
mayor
several
weeks
ago
went
and
saw
Mr
House
Ableton
presented
him
with
his
plaque.
It
was
a
great.
It
was
a
great
great
deal
for
him
so
and
I.
Thank
you
mayor
for
doing
that.
So
I
got
the
best
for
last
mayor,
Mr
Fayard.
By
the
way
bones
was
a
tight
end
and
not
an
offensive
lineman
anyhow,
we
were
texting
back
and
forth
about
the
job
and
working
for
Biloxi
and
he
texts
back.
If
Fofo
was
a
football,
coach,
I
would
love
to
play
for
him
so
again,
congrats
enjoy
your
evening.
D
B
B
He
was
a
football
and
track
athlete
for
Biloxi

was
an
outstanding

back
in
high
school,
who
was
one
of
the
first

rush
for
100
000

in
the

He
was
named

Thank

glad

be
back
I've,
seen
a
lot
of
friends
tonight
that
I
hadn't
seen
in
a
long
time,
but
it
was
very
special
for
a
young
person
to
grow
up
in
Biloxi
from
Lee
Street
ballpark
to
ponyco
American,
Legion,
Central,
Junior
High
and
the
best
I
can
figure
we're
sitting
in
the
library
right
now.
It
was
a
great
ride.
I
know
our
coaches
staff
at
Biloxi,
High
School
was
exceptional.
G
You
all
know
coach,
John,
Williams,
he's
missing,
he's
won
more
Hall
of
Fame
awards
than
probably
anybody
in
Mississippi,
but
he
did
a
great
job
with
our
guys
and
I
want
to
say
something
about
that.
66
team
we
played
four
teams
from
different
states
played
Alabama,
Louisiana,
Mississippi
and
Florida.
G
We
finished
9-1-1,
our
defense
I
did
some
studying
We
we
played,
we
had
a
great
defense
best
I
can
figure.
We
gave
up
60.1
points,
a
game,
listen
to
me
all
year.
They
got
60
points
how's
that
and
a
lot
of
them
are
here
now
that
played
on
that
team.
I
know:
I
played
college
football
with
several
of
them.
That's
in
here
now,
Mike
Kraft
who's,
a
Hall
of
Famer,
and
it
was
just
a
great
joy
and
I
want
to
take.
G
G
I
want
to
thank
bones
bark
for
sponsoring
me
for
this,
a
great
friend
we've
known
each
other
for
60
something
years,
and
unfortunately
we
live
too
close
to
each
other
down
on
Howard
Avenue,
but
I
flat
out
appreciate
Miss
Sherry

We

anyway,

H
Thank
you
very
much
hi
my
cousin
Debbie
back.
There
is
raising
up
five
fingers
in
football.
We
know
if
you
raise
a
fourth
fourth
quarter
time
to
buckle
down,
but
five
fingers
simply
means
remember
the
five
B's
be
brief
brother.
Be
brief.
That
means
he
has
to
go
to
a
football
game,
but
anyway,
I'll
be
brief,
and
but
I
first
like
to
take
care
of
some
some
some
business.
H
With
regards
to
my
sponsor
Glinda,
thank
you
for
kicking
the
can
forward
and
taking
across
the
goal
for
me
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
committee
for
inducting
me
and
taking
taking
a
look
at
my
body
of
work
and
named
it
appropriate
to
be
an
honor.
An
honor
of
this
prestigious
award,
two
text
messages.
I
got
when
I
when
I
realized
that
I
was
going
to
be
inducted
into
the
Hall
of
Fame,
one
was
from
Chris
Farrell.
It
was
pretty
funny.
He
said
you
know
it's
about
damn
time.
H
That
was
his
text
message
and
then
another
one
from
a
guy
in
Pittsburgh
done
Pennsylvania,
who
I
met
as
a
senior
as
a
freshman
when
he
was
a
senior
at
the
University
of
Southern
Illinois,
and
he
is
simply
read
while
Lawrence
I
didn't
know
these
things
about
you,
then
it
got
me
to
thinking
because
it
resonated
with
me
of
all
the
men
and
women
that
are
sitting
here.
That's
done
some
tremendous
things
that
we
don't
know
about
because
they
just
keep
the
head
down
and
don't
bring
attention
to
themselves.
H
For
instance,
I
got
two
of
my
former
teachers
that
are
sitting
out
there,
Miss
Betty
Johnson,
who
taught
typing
for
me
to
me
and
and
Miss
Clark
Miss
Trussell.
She
was
Miss
truster
when
I
was
in
school
and
I
just
thought
about
all
the
number
of
students
that
came
through
their
class
and
they
never
touted
about
who
they
taught
or
what
they've
come
to
be.
H
When
I
met
Joe
seals,
he
never
said
to
me:
hi
I'm,
Joe
sales
I
got
a
engineering
degree
from
the
University
of
Tennessee,
and
so
did
my
wife.
He
just
goes
about
doing
things
not
bringing
attention
to
herself
and
and
what
about
Roy
Craddock
I
was
a
senior
when
he
walked
down
to
the
campus
of
Southern
Illinois
University.
He
himself
is
a
is
a
All-American
not
not
I'm,
sorry,
not
an
All-American,
but
a
what
am
I
trying
to
say
the
Hall
of
Famer
at
SIU
and
he's
a
board
member
of
our
prestigious
University.
H
Up
until
today,
his
wife
thought
I
was
a
imaginary
child
play
because
he
would
always
talk
to
me
and
she
said
who
are
you
talking
to
so
some
guy
from
Atlanta?
So
it's
my
first
time
meeting
her,
but
you
know
I'm
for
real
and
how
about
graduating
from
college
moving
to
New
York
first
job
you
land
is
with
Aspen
and
Simpson.
H
Then
you've
moved
back
to
Dayton
Ohio
open
up
a
your
own
recording
studio
and
you
working
with
all
the
great
dating
sounds
Dazz
Band
Lakeside,
you,
you
name
it
and
then,
apart
from
that,
you
get
to
travel
with
the
likes
of
Prince
I'm,
talking
about
Michael
Thompson
and
his
wife
Mater
who's
here
from
Dayton
Ohio,
but
they
would
never
mention
these
things
and
then
I
have
Reginald
McGregor.
Who
is
vice
president
of
Rolls-Royce
I?
H
Remember
when
he
invited
me
to
the
campus
there
in
Rose
Royce
in
Indianapolis,
Indiana
and
I
was
expecting
to
see
these
beautiful
cars.
Bentleys,
Etc
and
I
said
hey
man
where
the
cars
he
said,
man.
We
don't
even
do
anything
like
that
here
we
we,
we
create
engines
for
our
United,
States
military
and
I
said
well.
Do
you
understand
all
this?
He
stopped
and
he
took
a
look
at
me.
Went
to
the
front
of
the
engine
explained
it
middle
explained.
It
went
to
the
back.
H
H
So
I've
had
the
plenty
of
sitting
at
the
feet
of
these
wise
men
and
women
who
poured
in
me
into
me
and
I'm
just
a
sum
total
of
what
they've
done
for
me,
although
the
certificate
may
have
my
name
on
it,
but
all
these
men
and
women
that
I
mentioned
their
names
are
in
front
of
Lawrence
love.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
The
baseball
player
at
Notre,
Dame,
High,
School
Cleveland
in
with
Cleveland
Indians
New
Orleans
All-American
team
and
the
University
of
Southern
Miss,
while
at
Notre
Dame
Tommy
had
earned
a
run
average
of
0.52
with
a
0.583
batting
average,
and
this
was
in
1972..
He
was.
He
has
received
the
most
viable
player
award
for
the
New
Orleans
All-American
team
and
was
drafted
by
the
Cleveland
Indians
in
the
18th
round
of
the
MLB
amateur
draft.
Tommy
was
a
fast
right-hand
pitcher
who
was
named
the
Catalyst
player
of
the
month.
B
I
I
I
I
For
as
any
other
friends,
I've
got
a
bunch
here,
one
in
particular
I
know:
Mike
Bruno,
good
friend
of
mine.
I
I
Dad
was
instrumental
in
deceit
and
developing
our
talents
at
an
early
age.
He
coached
all
four
of
us
through
our
early
years
and
Back
Bay
and
Pony
League,
and
that
was
quite
a
feat
for
him
and
the
time
that
he
put
in
and
also
my
mother.
She
kept
the
uniforms
clean
and
getting
this
to
practice
on
time
and
all
of
those
things
that
that
was
necessary,
but
dad
was
instrumental
in
developing
our
talents
at
an
early
age.
I
I
We
were
always
doing
something
that
involved
a
ball
back
in
those
days.
That
was
an
entertainment.
Was
our
entertainment,
mom?
Wouldn't
let
us
sit
around
the
house
doing
nothing.
She
would
chase
us
outside
and
we'd
find
something
to
do
with
a
ball
of
some
sort.
But
there
was
no
video
games,
no
Xboxes,
no
Nintendos
in
those
days
and
the
thing
that
I
see
every
time.
I
B
He
was
a
football
player
at
Biloxi,
High
and
Mississippi
College,
and
he
was
a
football
swim
and
golf
coach.
Our
pickage
was
a
three-year
Letterman
in
football,
at
Biloxi
High,
where
he
played
offensive
and
defensive
lines.
He
played
in
the
all
big
eight
and
the
Mississippi
high
school
all-star
game.
B
He
received
the
1978
Pat
Patterson
award
and
a
full
football
scholarship
to
Mississippi
College,
where
he
played
offensive
line
for
four
years,
while
at
Mississippi
College
he
made
the
semifinals
for
division,
two
national
championships
in
1979
and
played
all
gov
South
Conference
Division,
two
in
1978
I,
mean
sorry
1981
and
1982..
He
was
awarded
the
Mississippi
State
player
of
the
week
in
1982..
He
was
also
like
I,
said:
a
football
swimming
and
golf
coach
as
a
swim,
coach,
Al
added
weightlifting
and
Chris
CrossFit
training
to
to
the
swim
program.
B
J
Foreign
believe
about
half
of
what
you
said
and
I've
heard
a
lot
of
bad
things
said
about
me:
I
feel
good,
but
not
many
first
off
I
want
to
thank
my
family.
That's
here
my
wife,
44
years,
she's
she's
got
a
Halo
putting
up
with
me,
but
my
brother
Gerald
was
the
older
one
in
he
had
set
the
bar
pretty
high
for
us,
and
the
rest
of
us
had
played
ball
growing
up.
We
me
and
my
brother.
We
wanted
to
be
like
him.
We
wanted
to.
J
You
know
we
we
even
said
no
I'm
Gerald.
Today,
no
you're,
not
you
know,
but
we
had
plenty
of
role
models
to
look
up
to
and
when
I
got
to
Junior
High.
J
I
had
Tom
Farrell
and
Jesse
Ratliff,
two
of
the
greatest
coaches
you'd
ever
want
to
play
for
and
I
mean
they
both
coached
a
bunch
of
y'all
in
here
and
then
when
I
left.
There
I
went
to
Biloxi
High
School
and
there
was
Joe
sabatini
Joe
Allen,
Jimmy
Wallace
I
saw
back
here
worthy
McClure,
I
hate
naming
names
because
I
always
forget
somebody
and
I
mean
there
was
a
Lloyd
Seymour
Tom
Farrell
had
moved
up
to
the
high
school
Dan.
J
J
So
my
hat's
off
to
all
the
all
the
inductees
here
today,
y'all
y'all
learned
it
and
I'm
proud
just
to
be
a
part
of
it
and
be
with
y'all.
Then,
when
I
left
there
I
went
to
college
and
I
heard
Lionel
talk
a
minute
ago,
you
know
coach,
Williams
I
went
up
there
and
I
went
to
Mississippi
College,
because
I
wanted
to
play
football
as
a
kid
for
John
Williams.
J
That
would
run
me
out
of
the
locker
room.
They'd
run
me
out
during
halftime
and
I
can
remember
some
of
the
things
said
because
it
burnt
the
memory
on
me
and
you
know
I
said
man
one
day.
I
want
to
play
for
him.
You
know
he's
just
got
what
it
takes.
You
know
and
of
course
back
then
he
had
some
great
coaches
with
him.
J
Joe
sabatini,
Frank
sabatini
I
mean
a
lot
of
these
guys
were
just
really
awesome,
and
so,
when
I
got
the
chance
to
go
to
Mississippi
College
and
play
football,
Daryl
Posey
went
with
me
and
Daryl
was
like
man.
I,
don't
know
about
this.
I
said
Daryl
you're
running
back,
they
don't
throw
the
ball,
they
run
it.
He
says
man,
you
got
a
point
and.
J
The
whole
time
we
were
up
there
at
Mississippi
College,
every
one
of
the
running
backs
played
pro
ball,
got
drafted
or
a
free
agent
and
everything
into
the
NFL
and
one
one
day.
I
took
him
and
he
was
having
a
tryout
to
put
a
draft
and
he
he
says
man
would
you
take
me
to
the
airport.
J
I
said
yeah
and
Daryl
had
only
flew
one
time,
and
that
was
when
we
flew
from
Jackson
Mississippi
up
to
Delaware
and
we
was
playing
the
Delaware
Blue
Hens
up
there
and
they
had
a
leaders
yet
to
take
off
and
it
went
up
real
quick
I
said:
that's
your
plane,
man.
You
got
one
just
like
that.
He
says
I
ain't
going,
you
know,
and
he
he
said
put
me
back
in
the
car.
I
ain't
going
but
I
mean
I
got
some
guys
that
I
played
with
that
my
hats
off
to
them.
J
They're
awesome,
they're,
wonderful,
and
it
was
great.
It
was
great
playing
sports
football.
I
heard
Tommy
talking
about
back
at
Southern,
Little
League
ballpark
back
there
I
mean
we
spent
all
day
in
the
park
and
going
flow,
School
playing
football.
Doing
that
and
that's
how
it
built
I
mean
you
know
you,
you
was
a
kid
growing
up
doing
those
things.
So
when
you
got
to
high
school,
you
were
ready
man,
you
was
ready
to
tear
it
up
and
play
and
enjoy
it.
J
Well
anyway,
when
I
finished
playing
college,
I
talked
to
Coach,
Williams
I
said
well,
Coach
man
I
appreciate
everything
you
did
for
me,
I'm,
you
know
I,
guess
I'll,
head
back
to
the
coast,
he
said
you
ain't
going
nowhere.
I
said
what
you
mean
he
said.
Well,
he
says
I
need
another
line
coach.
He
says
stay
on
and
Coach
with
me.
J
J
Well,
I'm
gonna
tell
you
if
you
ever
get
the
bug
a
coaching
it'll
take
the
place
of
playing
anytime,
because
when
you're
a
coach,
you
come
into
contact
with
a
thousand
kids
thousand
times
over
and
and
a
lot
of
them
talked
about
some
of
the
other
ones.
I
remember
sunny
I
got
a
laugh
Sonny
because
we
had
a
good
time.
J
One
year
there
I
think
about
2
000,
or
so
he
got
activated
and
I
had
to
take
over
his
PE
classes,
I'm
just
glad
that
they
were
through
with
football
season
and
but
all
the
different
things
the
people
you
come
across.
The
things
that
you
do,
the
you
know,
wit,
kids
in
general
I,
went
to
Elsie's
Hardware
the
other
day
and
I've
seen
two
kids
and
I
hadn't,
seen
in
15
20
years,
and
they
recognized
me
and
I
didn't
recognize
them,
but
it
was
good.
J
It
was
good
because
one
of
them
I
was
surprised.
He
was
alive
and
I
mean,
but
but
but
no
they
they
really.
They
really
did
a
good
job
and
I
I
can't
say
enough
about
Biloxi
Athletics,
the
city,
the
the
Biloxi
High
School
and
now
I
was
bad
I
called
it
Notre
Dame
forever.
Then
it
went
to
Mercy
cross
and
then,
when
it
turned
to
St,
Patrick
I
still
call
it
Mercy
cross.
J
So
we
had
some
really
good
kids
to
come
out,
grow
and
do
a
fantastic
job
here
at
Biloxi
with
the
sports
and
going
and
really
put
it
on
the
map.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
know
about
Biloxi,
because
Sports
and
the
athletes
that
have
come
out
of
here
so
all
I
can
tell
you
is
thank
the
committee.
Thank
you
all.
So
much
for
all
this
and
I
I
appreciate
the
award
and
I'm
just
glad
to
be
with
the
guys
that
I've
come
in
with.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
B
He's
being
represented
by
his
brother,
Larry,
savlage
Harold
was
a
baseball
and
football
athlete
he
is
remembered
for
hitting
home
runs
at
severo
Park,
as
Sherry
mentioned
earlier.
As
an
eighth
grader,
he
pitched
for
the
varsity
or
12th
grade
teams
and
I
was
told.
If
you
look
in
a
newspaper
from
1950
to
1966,
Harold's
name
appeared
in
the
newspaper
nearly
300
times,
Herald
Savage
Jr.
K
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Larry
savlich
I'm
honored
to
be
here
representing
my
older
brother,
my
hero,
Harold
savlich,
coming
up
as
a
kid
all
I
ever
remember
is
Harold's
name.
Can
you
hit
the
ball
like
Harold?
Can
you
throw
the
ball
like
Harold?
Can
you
play
baseball,
hey
Carol,
but
you
got
to
remember
this
13
years
between
me
and
Harold,
so
by
the
time
I'm
playing
ball.
K
All
the
guys
that
was
playing
with
him
were
coaching.
So
I
had
some
huge
shoes
to
fill
coming
up
as
a
kid
and
coming
up
as
an
athlete
in
Biloxi,
but
he
was
my
hero.
He
was
my
I.
Didn't
have
any
professional
guys
that
I
looked
up
to
it
was
always
him
from
the
time.
I
was
a
little
bitty
I.
K
Think
I
learned
how
to
walk
with
a
baseball
bat
in
my
hand,
because
of
him,
and
my
sister-in-law
I
think
the
only
toys
I
had
as
a
child
was
a
baseball
glove
and
a
ball
and
a
bat
I
think
that
was
about
the
extent
of
it.
I
come
along
at
a
good
time
for
Harold
at
my
age
and
he
was
I.
Looked
up
to
him
with
with
everything
as
I
started.
K
Looking
into
all
of
this
trying
to
get
in
I
couldn't
believe
when
I
first
started
looking
into
the
Hall
of
Fame,
I
didn't
know
anything
about
it
and
just
everything
I
heard
as
a
kid
I
just
assumed
Harold
was
in
there
started,
looking
through
it
and
I
never
run
across
his
name,
so
I
kind
of
made
it
my
mission
to
make
sure
that
he
was
recognized
and
y'all.
He
is
I,
don't
know.
K
The
right
word
is
static,
so
proud
to
be
selected
and
and
put
into
the
Hall
of
Fame
and
be
recognized
for
his
childhood
accomplishments.
You
know,
there's
there's
so
many
things
when
you're
coming
up
as
an
athlete
that
that
can
affect
what
happens
and
and
where
you
go
as
an
athlete.
K
You
got
injuries,
you
got
decisions,
you
know
all
of
us,
are
you
know
we're
young,
kids
and
and
playing
sports
and
looking
to
the
Future,
and
sometimes
we
don't
make
the
best
decisions,
because
you
know
for
your
athletic
dreams,
but
you
follow
them
anyway.
K
I
think
one
of
the
big
things
I
got
from
Harold
as
a
kid
was
the
smell
of
baseball
anybody,
that's
a
baseball
player
out.
There
knows
what
I
mean
by
that
the
smell
of
the
glove,
the
smell
of
the
ball,
everything
the
baseball
field,
everything
about
it
and
he
just
he
thrived
on
on
everything
to
do
with
with
his
Athletics
I.
Don't
know
a
lot
about
him
with
football
and
his
other
sports
I
just
know
he
baseball
was
his
favorite
and
I.
Think
that's
the
one
he
he
really
wanted
to
be
known.
K
For
it's
a
shame.
His
careers
ended
early,
but
you
know
that
stuff
like
that
happens,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
guys
around.
Here
knew
his
name
from
what
I
understand.
He
was
elected
unanimously
into
the
Hall
of
Fame
this
year,
I'm
just
very
proud
to
be
able
to
be
up
here
and
speak
for
him
and
to
tell
y'all
how
much
he's
honored
and
and
is
thankful
for
for

one
of

of

stories.

many
many
stories,
but
Mike
asked
if
he
could
tell
one
I
was
honored
to
let
him
tell
tell
one
of
Harold's
stories.
L
L
L
We
met
out
on
the
mound
and
Jay
trust
had
said
to
me.
Damn
that
was
embarrassing.
He
said.
Did
you
see
that
ball?
It
went
over
the
freaking
railroad
track,
so
that
story
is
true.
He
was
that
wasn't
the
only
time
he
hit
a
ball
and
if
you
remember,
savaro,
Park
that
that
that's
railroad
track
is
another
100
yards
past
past
the
fence.
L
He
was
a
beast
and
one
of
a
kind
I'll
tell
you
and
I'm
sure.
If
he's
gonna,
the
family's
gonna
tell
him
about
this,
he'll
enjoy
it
hearing
from
it
so
Harold.
This
was
for
you
long
overdue.

My
wife,
my
son
and
my
daughter,
traveling
from
where
they
have
come
from
my
friends
who
I
haven't
seen
in
a
number
of
years,
I'm
overwhelmed
to
see
all
of
you
and
I'm
overwhelmed
at
the
honor
of
standing
here,
my
sister
Margie
Steve,
and
the
Castleman
line
of
athletes
at
Southern
Miss.
Thank
you
for
honoring
me
for
driving
down.
N
It's
about
truly,
and
some
of
you
have
talked
about
it,
a
city
that
was
committed
to
raising
young
people
with
an
intense
pride
in
how
we
played
and
with
an
attitude
that
would
never
give
up
whether
we
were
ahead
or
behind
it
started
really
Sherry
with
I.
Think
the
first
Recreation
director
that
Biloxi
had
Mr
Hathaway
in
the
early
50s
and
he
put
together
a
group
of
boys,
one
Saturday.
N
He
invited
us
all
to
go
what
is
out
to
Back
Bay
Park
before
Southern
League
was
there
and
we
chose
up
teams
and
we
managed
to
get
14
from
group
from
age
7
to
12,
because
this
was
going
to
be
our
next
Little
League.
The
first
in
Biloxi
and
I
was
seven
when
he
did
that
and
I
went
all
the
way
through
to
what
you
see
today
and
it
started
there.
N
But
it's
about
the
teammates
and
about
those
people
who
put
us
together,
one
of
you
mentioned
by
the
time
we
got
to
Biloxi
High
School.
We
had
been
through
peewee
football
West,
Central,
East,
Central,
East,
End,
West
End,
and
then
the
Fernwood
group
and
each
one
of
our
coaches
already
had
the
Playbook
that
we
were
going
to
use
at
Biloxi,
High
School.
N
You
see.
I
was
a
flat-footed,
slow
halfback
who
had
played
second
team
quarterback
behind
Harold
Briel
long
enough
that
coach
Weil
says
I've
got
to
get
somebody
else
who
can
run
the
ball
because
they're
starting
to
gang
up
on
Harold
every
time
we
had
it
so
how
I
get
where
I
am
at
Southern
Miss
is
a
part
of
a
miracle,
because
all
I
had
to
do
was
run
right.
N
Harrow
would
toss
me
the
ball.
Lynn
Patterson.
Would
knock
out
at
least
two
linebackers
Jackie
Cheryl
cleaned
up
everything
else,
and
then
it
was
me
and
Harold
and
I
couldn't
catch
him.
We're
talking
about
the
hundred
yard
dash
champion
of
the
state
of
Mississippi.
The
first
man
I
know
ever
run
a
10
flat
and
I'm
slow
and
flat-footed
and
Carol's
gone,
but
I
can't
catch
him
Harold
also
caught
the
only
touchdown
I
ever
threw.
N
That's
why
I
was
never
a
quarterback,
but
he
tossed
it
to
me
so
I
circled
to
the
right
and
threw
it
as
far
as
I
could
to
the
left.
The
old
throwback
I
probably
threw
it
40
yards.
It
looks
60
to
me
then,
but
the
last
thing
he
told
me
leaving
the
Huddle
throw
the
thing
as
far
as
you
can
I'll
catch
it,
and
no
one
in
Brookhaven
saw
it.
He
was
gone.
N
Roy
Andrews
are
tight
end
caught
the
only
pass
other
than
that
that
I
ever
threw
and
his
son
Greg
is
here
for
him
today,
because
Roy
was
my
best
friend
and
we
lost
Roy's
wife,
Carol
soche.
Many
of
you
knew
just
two
years
ago,
and
it
was
heartbreaking
for
him
and
heartbreaking
for
me.
Claude
sakuro,
my
backup,
kicking
buddy
after
I
missed
enough
extra
points
for
Coach
Wiles.
N
That's
where
Kenny
Lyons
Clem
Dellinger,
and
that
what
we
call
bajim
again,
the
Santini
Jim
Howarth
teams
would
play
the
guys
from
a
few
blocks
away,
and
we
were
there
literally
we'd
ride
our
bicycles.
Around
till
we
collected
enough
to
get
a
game
together
and
off.
We
would
be
somebody
else
mentioned.
We
played
all
the
time
because
moms
and
dads
said
get
out
of
the
house.
Son
you've
got
to
play
because
I
have
things
to
do
when
you're
under
my
feet,.
N
N
Without
them
teaching
us
that
it's
not
whether
you
win
or
lose
you
be
a
good
winner.
You
be
a
good
loser,
but
you
never
quit
and
if
you
don't
quit
whatever
you
do,
if
you're
not
on
this
stage
or
you're,
not
a
Southern,
Miss
athlete
or
a
Mississippi
scholarship,
when,
if
you
do
not
quit
whether
it's
with
your
grades
or
whether,
with
your
Athletics
you're,
going
to
be
a
winner
because
biloxians
don't
quit,
storms
can
tear
us
up.
N
But
it
doesn't
break
our
spirit.
This
town
is
beautiful.
We
have
not
been
back.
My
wife
and
I
I
can't
even
count
up
the
last
time.
I
was
here,
but
I
can
tell
you.
It
was
making
loads
from
Virginia
pulling
a
trailer
for
Katrina
relief,
I,
look
like
a
rolling
bomb
because
I
had
10
gallon
gas
cans
and
a
generator
in
all
of
the
baby.
N
Thank
you
to
my
family
and
all
of
you
who
came
all
the
friends
I've
seen
that
I
haven't
seen
for
years,
and
thank
you
for
a
recreation
and
sports
Department
that
does
this
so
that
those
of
us
who've
had
to
give
something
to
you
get
a
chance
to
get
together
and
challenge
those
who
come
behind
us.
Thank
you
very
much.

O
What
can

Tommy,
when
my

was
a
young
man
growing
up
in

became
evident
that
he
showed
promising
athletic
ability,
while

he
played
