I think it was Mr. Asbury...don't remember his first name...maybe Ray....I think he was at the Zavalla Drive Christmas parties as Santa, but it's been a VERY long time, so I may be really wrong...

You would think that as many years Joe B. was Santa Claus that would be easy.I go to St. Paul's Methodist Church. Joe B. was a faithful member of St. Paul's, he and I kept the nursery during Sunday School and he sang in the choir. He played Santa Claus at my family Christmas Party for years.He even came out to my home in Nome and my kids were all so excited. Of course the ones that were small all cried.

I don't know if he won the most games, but my dad, Bill Tipton, and his basketballteam won the State Championship in 1953 (same year as the movie Hoosiers). I think it's the only team state championship in South Park's history. He also coached football. He was fired by the school board a few years later because his football team didn't do well that year. You know Texas and football!!!! It turned out OK because Lamar University hired him and he finished his career coaching college football and tennis. A great man and a great coach.

He brougth Steve Mc Carthy aboard.Chink Manning was Basketball coach.Coach Anders was also a great Basketball Coach. Bill Tipton was Baseball coach. Cecil Donahoe was Track coach.

Bill Tipton was football and basketball in the 50's....thus the state championship in basketball in 53. Back then there were very few coaches and they all coached all sports. In the 60's there was Fred Herring, Bill O'Neill, Adams, Davidson, Hentshcel, Donoho, Anders, Carl Dillon (tennis) Lois Blanchette (tennis),

Coach Bain was the head football coach when I was a sophmore at SP.South Park had some great coaches some are deceased but there a lot still living. Here is another Trivia question can you name any of the principals and asst. principals? Dr. Jones was principal when I started SP in 1966. Mr. Floyd was asst. principal.

Coach Bain's first year at South Park was the '67 season. Coach McCarty came the same year as an assistant. Coach Bain, Coach Hentshcel and Coach McCarty were all great to play for and great role models.

I see Coach Hentschel all the time. We (SouthPark/Forest Park Lions Club) work concession stand all West Brook home games. Coach watches the game and you can tell he would like to be on the side lines calling the plays.
