This is the winning team. It was on December 11, 1964 before a packed house at the old SPAR Stadium. The BTW Lions fought off Peabody High School of Alexandria to win the I-AAA Championship by a score of 20 to 18. I can still feel the excitement and hear the roar of the crowd as the game clock confirmed our victory. Thanks to a group of young men led by a brilliant head coach, the one and only Leonard C. Barnes, for insuring the BTW Lions a place in the history books forever.Those were the days! And with the help of a committed alumni support group, The Lion is Coming Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO You know a Wilbert Goodwin, I found his letterman jacket with a state championship in football 1964 and basketball for 1964-65...Jacket in great shape.. Black with yellow leather sleeves..
Wrong school color's for BTW 1964-65 football jacket. I was a member of BTW 1964-65 and I own one of those jacket. My jacket is moroon and white. Not Black and Yellow. In fact there was no player on the team name Wilbert Goodwin.
