My name is Jacob Rozar and I have a brother named Kevin who also tore it up on the football field. It was nice reading in the previous comment made by Robert Evans Sr. about how good my grandfather and his brother were at football. My brother and I definitely had those athletic genes. I attached our highlights below to show you guys, my little brother Kevin is 22 and an AO in the Navy currently 3 1/2 years in. I am done with football got my associates but now obtaining another Associates to become certified as a MRI technician. <br /><br />Kevin Rozar Senior Year Football highlights <br />http://www.hudl.com/v/2FTVH3<br /><br />Jacob Rozar Highschool Senior YEAR <br />http://www.hudl.com/v/2GnAAv<br /><br />Junior College highlights <br />http://www.hudl.com/v/2JhrkX<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417610874627751100.post-71199829179606183502023-08-15T12:17:58.609-07:002023-08-15T12:17:58.609-07:00I remembered he Rozar brothers, although, I was ab...I remembered he Rozar brothers, although, I was about six years of age. I lived across the street from Washington Street High School. I remember watching the football team practice on the campus and sometimes the old fair grounds. It was an honor for me to chase and retrieve footballs for the players. I attended Washington Street Elementary School from 1940-1951 of course high school was included. I attended the new Oconee High School from 1952-1954. I played football and basketball at both schools. I enlisted in the United States Air Force in June of 1954 and retired in 1975. I can remember some of the players at Washington Street High School,players such as the Rozar Brothers, Herbert Reed, Essex Lampkins, Jimmy Troup, W.C. Waters, S.T. Bloodshaw, J.T. Hooks, Eddie Lee Johnson, George Shine, Willie Lee (aka King Driskell), Willie James Outler, James Thomas, Jimmy Mitchell,Kenneth Hudson, Willie Newsome etc. They were the Washington Street High School Bulldogs. Later during 1947 the name was changed to Washington High School Trojans. These were great memories.Robert A.
