This photo is from the 1996 Bridgeport High School football program and was provided by Tim Casten. As it would turn out, this would be the final year on the sidelines for legendary Coach Wayne Jamison. Bruce Carey, pictured above, would take over the following year and continue the tradition of winning programs.

This is a Saturday afternoon street scene from Welch in McDowell County. This photo is from the mid-1940s.
