Brownwood Lions win 3A state track title by 40 38
Doug Young, a discus thrower, scored the decisive points as Brownwood edged Robstown 40 to 38 for the Class 3A team title. Young, initially third in Region II, was later cleared to compete after a dispute led to a late qualification. Robstown led by default until the final tally. In 4A region action Galena Park’s Tommy Moore was allowed to participate after a disputed scratch, shifting final placements. Baytown’s David Conway watched from the sidelines as Adams upset unfolded. In girls tennis, Midland Lee’s Barbara Laine and Caral Nix defeated Beverly Gatlin and Gwen Bussa to claim the 4A state title.

Johnson, 33, had threatened to pull out unless his purse was escrowed or the manager could take his share immediately after the fight, but conferences among lawyers, a judge and an athletic commissioner aide led to a ruling that Johnson's 50 percent share would be held in escrow.
