Description |
When World War II broke out, a lot of things got put on hold, including high school football in many places, including Brownwood, Texas. At least that would have been the case if it hadn’t been for a woman who stepped up to coach the team when all the male coaches were gone.
Tylene Wilson wanted the boys at Brownwood High to play their senior season before they faced much more serious foes on the battlefields of Europe and Asia.
Not a lot is known about Wilson’s time as a coach, except that she’s among the first women in the nation to serve in such a role. Women in the football coaching ranks is still a rarity.
