1964 Raymond High Rangers
Families are the pride of Mississippi. In the Magnolia State many players on high school football teams were preceded by their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, and cousins. Coaches often coach their own sons and sons of former players. Generations of Mississippians are linked by this fraternal connection to this hometown team. As a result, legacies are created.
Jay Lacoste
Gridiron Glory captures some of Mississippi’s football legacies in photographs of Jay Lacoste (Gulfport) and his son Paul (Jackson Prep), Ken Toler (Inverness) and his son Ken, Jr. (Jackson Prep). Coach Robert Morgan and his three sons, Rob, Brett and Josh (Warren Central) and the rich legacy of Olive Branch with the Brigance, Pool and Samsel families.

Ken Toler
The ultimate producer of Magnolia football legacies–The University of South Panola–is represented by a number of action packed photos. Jim Drewry, whose coaching career spanned six decades, producing a multitude of player and coach legacies, is honored with a two-page color photo leading his Booneville Blue Devils onto the field at a State Championship game.

If you are a football fan, Gridiron Glory will entertain you with its unique collection of photographs, many of which have never been made public.
