Jimmie Dale played very well in the state tournament. Uncle Curley was he star of the 1963 championship team but, as a junior, Jimmie Dale scored 28 points in the 65-57 win over Seminole for the title. As a senior, Jimmie Dale averaged 19 points for the year as the team reached the state tournament again. He scored 30 points in a 69-60 win over Kilgore in the first game and 21 in the 60-50 loss to Graham in the finals.
