Roy Shifflet: The 'Godfather' of Dobie Athletics


For the last 11 years, Shiflett had followed Dobie football closer than would seem humanly possible. Go ahead, est him. We did. Any game, any year, he can tell you who won -- by what score -- and probably who scored for Dobie. And if by some fresh occasion he cannot rattle off a score from the top of his head, he will flip open his 'record' book and thub through to the exact game. Instant results.

"I write all that sutff down. I like keeping up with the district. I really enjoy high school football," Shiflett said.

The South Belt Leader uses past performance information he provides on a weekly basis during football season. Even the PISD says it does not have the information. Just one look at Shiflett's game-by-game history book, since day one, tells you this is not your average follower.
