Olga Lynette Henderson Hanson Senior year, fall 1965, if I remember right, when we Provine Rams—unappreciated in north Jackson and underdogs for sure—defeated the always-thought-they-were-it-on-stick Murrah Mustangs, 13-6.

Can't remember that score, but I vividly recall being a part of both special moments.
Jerry Shelton Last game In Jackson between Ole Miss and Alabama, the first seven minutes into game and Ole Miss was leading 21-0. Then Bama flexed their muscles. Final score: Bama 62 Ole Miss 28.
