Donnie Aldridge |
||
Donnie Aldridge was an outstanding football player At Emile High School (segregated high school in Bastrop) before voluntarily transferring to Bastrop High School for his senior season (football season of 1966) and graduated from Bastrop High School in 1967.( Any of the students that wanted to transfer from Emile to Bastrop High School for the school years of 66-67 and 67-68 had that option as Emile High School was closing in 1968 due to total integration). Donnie Aldridge along with a handful of athletes from Emile that played on the '66 BHS team had a great influence on paving the way for the smooth transition that was to take place when the two schools came together as the totally integrated Bastrop High School in the 1968-69 school year. Donnie Aldridge was the catalyst for this transition to become so successful for Bastrop High School and Emile High School finally coming together as one school. Donnie Aldridge had a tremendous impact on the '66 State Semifinalist team at BHS as the starting tailback and one of the true leaders of the football team. Donnie gained over 1,500 yards that season and carried the ball around 20 times per game. All of our opposing teams knew that Donnie Aldridge was the Bears' offense and they still couldn't stop him. Donnie had the size and speed but most importantly the great determination to be the best that he could be as well as a great team player for the Bears. He really cared about all of his teammates and we all looked up to Donnie Aldridge as being the team leader. Donnie Aldridge's football awards his senior year at BHS ('66 football season) : Most Valuable Football Player Donnie Aldridge went on to play college football for: Arizona Western Jr. College |
