| A History of Belton Tiger Football A new book by the BHS coaching staff |
| The coaching staff at Belton High School has created a book, A History of Belton Tiger Football, that is available at the field house. Tigers defensive coordinator Mark Erwin was in charge of publishing the book but people throughout the community helped in making the book a reality. It contains the teams and records from 1950 to the present and has articles from Joe Brooks, JOE PIRTLE and various pictures from the past. Each team has its own page with the overall team record and game by game score and the coaches of each team in each decade since 1950. |
