As a result of their performances during the season, three
players received special recognition. Freeman Lamkin, the
Methodists' giant offensive tackle, was named second team
All-Lone Star Conference, while offensive guard Bill Doane
and defensive cornerback Van Grady were first team selections
on the All-Texas College Team compiled by the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.
Seven players donned the Maroon and White for the final
times this year, and their departure will leave sizeable gaps
in the Indian fortunes. Puckett, Doane, Jerry Andrus, Sandy
Staley, Steve Bowman, Willie Davis, and Robert Rivera
concluded their eligibility and passed their war bonnets on
to fledgling warriors.
For all of the things that the 1969 McMurry football season
displayed, it proved conclusively all of the cliches about
the gridiron sport. Truly, football is a game of inches. It is
a game of breaks. And it is a game of hurts. If the Tribe's
younger members and its new initiates are equal to the
challenge, the football clouds on the McMurry horizon
could be bright ones indeed.80
