Some Stuff I Wrote and Some Stuff I Didn't (2011) H. Morris Williams









                  Coach  Fields coached at CHS where he came within one minute of winning
                  a  state championship,  then  coached  23  years at  LCCC where  he  posted  a
                  512-195  record,  won  a  state  championship,  and  placed  third  place  in  the
                  NCJAA National Tournament in  1970.


                  He was honored by the Florida Legislature,  inducted into the Florida Junior
                  College  Hall  of  Fame,  and  generally  accepted  as  one  of  the  premier  high
                  school and college basketball coaches in Florida.


                  FIRST PAVED STREETS


                  Lake  Citian  James  Keaton,  91,  says the  first  four  Lake  City  streets to   be
                  ‘paved’  were  Desoto,  Marion,  Duval,  and  Railroad.  The year was  1925  and
                  they were brick streets.


                  THE FIRST CLUE


                  The  late  CHS  football  captain  Jack  Herndon,  Sr.  (CHS1938)  commenting
                  on a  game CHS once  played against a  powerful  Live Oak team:  “We knew
                  we  were  in  trouble  when  we  noticed  that  their  cheerleaders  were  bigger
                  than our football players!”
