Way back in 1929, the Brownsville High School Eagles had a team with a perfect win-loss record.
And to cheer them on and leading the fans from the sidelines that year's drill squad and cheerleaders added to the spirit of the game by their presence at every football encounter.
The games then were played at Tucker Field and attracted huge crowds of students and local folks.

The football team was heroic on the gridiron and gave them plenty to cheer, trashing the opposition by scoring 328 points. They ended the season undefeated with the opponents only tallying two points combined in the entire season.
The Cheerleaders were aided by the drill squad, a preppy organization of upper-class girls who were required to show their true loyalty. They were adorned with brown and gold dresses that added color to the game.
The squad was under the leadership of Miss Kendrick whose well-rehearsed girls put on a sequence of drills between halves at every game. The Eagles played a total of nine games against: Santa Rosa, La Feria, Mercedes, Alamo Heights, Donna, Harlingen, San Benito (the only 2 pts against the Eagles), Weslaco and winning district against McAllen 27-0.
Although they were only four cheerleaders, they certainly proved that in their case less was more was not better. Their spirit and energy overshadowed their lack of numbers. “Executing clever maneuvers made the cheering a necessary element at the football games,” so the fans said. Can you still hear them?
THREE CHEERS FOR THE BROWN AND GOLD!
