When Ben and Don played at OPHS, there was barely room for the teams on the bench.

Joe B Hall, Denny Crum and a host of other big time coaches were there.

In between Ray's and 7-11.

Mr Pierron went to Ole Miss and he had a friend that went to LSU. Every year the loser of the Ole Miss-LSU football game had to decorate his store in the other teams colors. Used to love seeing purple and gold in Mr Pierrons store!
