Very nice article. Then there are places like Jordan Stadium in Pine Bluff (pronounced Jurden by the old timers) where some great battles have been played over the years between the Zebras and Central, Northside, El Dorado, Hall, Dollarway, the old PB Southeast and PB Merrill....where players like Don Hutson (Packers hall of honor), Paul Bryant, Gordon Norwood (QB of Parade Magazine #1 team in 1963/1964?), Jim Barnes, Bruce Maxwell, Dennis Swilley, Cleophus Miller, Billy Joe Releford, Mark Bradley, Basil Shabazz, Cliff Harris, and many other great players played at one time or another........many of the great coaches of Arkansas lore coached games there....home for many years of one of the great bandmasters in state history...Scrubby Watson....it may be in disrepair these days but the memories and ghosts are still there....
