"There were several men still living here who played for Tyson in the 1920s and '30s," Werner said.
"Their memories were still vivid of the man who made a big impact on their lives. The oldest, who is now 88 years old, played on the greatest Waco High team of all time, in 1927." Werner has been a sports writer for the Tribune Herald since 1982. His primary responsibility is covering Baylor University and Big 12 athletics, but he also covers high school football. A Copperas Cove, Texas, native, Werner is a 1979 graduate of Southwest Texas State. He previously won Best of Cox awards for non-deadline sports writing in 1995 and sports columns in 1996. In his spare time, he likes to hike and listen to music. © Cox
