The History of Belton High School Football, 1903-2006
Organized football began at Belton High School in 1903 when the
school board hired Louis H. Hubbard, a former football player at the University
of Texas, as principal, English teacher and football and baseball coach.
Because of a shortage of players and no eligibility rules, Coach Hubbard
played QB and Superintendent J.B. Hubbard played FB on the 1903 team..
Two 7th graders and a freshman were added to the seven players from high
school for the first game in 1903 against a “group of town men” who called
themselves the “Belton Boosters.” No other area high schools played
football until around 1907 and thus the Belton student/faculty team played
only local adult teams from 1903-1906. Competition with other high
schools began in 1907 when Belton played Temple H.S. twice. Belton
played Lampasas in 1908, McGregor in 1909, and Rogers in 1911.
Belton’s first “student only” team was fielded in 1908 and was
coached by Supt. J.B. Hubbard and Principal Louis B. Hubbard. The
team was comprised of 19 students and played in a pasture just south of
the North Belton Cemetery. The team uniform consisted of turtle-neck
sweaters (“with a lot of padding sewed on the shoulders and elbors”) and
a pair of shoes provided by the parents—there was no mention of helmets.
Arthur O’Connor was team captain and the team featured two speedy backs,
Roy Holcomb and Pat Dougherty, who finished 1st and 2nd in the 100-yard
and 200-yard dashes at the state track meet in 1909. Considerable
detail on this team is provided by the 1908-1909 BHS yearbook, “The Broncho.”
Statewide playoffs sanctioned by the University InterScholastic
League (UIL) began in 1921 with Belton competing with other Bell County
Schools (Temple, Kileen, Bartlett, Holland) with the champion going on
to play other county champions, regional champions, etc. Belton won
its first county championship in 1923. The team was not called the
Tigers until 1920-21 when the yearbook, “The Broncho” referred to the team
as the “Tigers.” Previously the newspapers referred to the team simply
as the “Belton High School football team” though blankets given to lettermen
in 1919 used the Tiger as the school symbol.
The UIL created class divisions by size of school in 1927 with
Belton being classified as “B” and Temple as “A.” Belton moved to
Class A in 1939; 2-A in 1951; 3A in 1960; 4A in 1980; 5-A in 1996-97; and
4-A in 1998-2001. The attached summary list presents season records
from 1908-2001 with the names of coaches and players. Teams winning
district championships and/or teams making the playoffs are underlined.
The season records were compiled by Joe Lee Smith of Beaumont TX and the
other research is by Dr. Billy Wilbanks.
