Lawton High Wolverines Tie Capitol Hill in Opener
Lawton High School battled back from a 13-0 halftime deficit to tie Capitol Hill 13-13 in the opening week of the 1955 prep football season. The Wolverines, led by quarterback J. W. Hunter and fullback Ronnie Hartline, outgained the Redskins 250 to 180 yards and nearly won on a late drive, only to fumble at the Redskins eight with 1:29 remaining. Spergel threw for Capitol Hill, but Lawton’s defense and line play dominated much of the game, leaving both teams with a hard-fought draw.
