The year was 1964; a history-making year. It was the year Junior League football, the precursor to the Great Wichita Football League, was formed. It was Alvin (Pappy) Allen and a few of his good friends that made it happen. It was still a time of innocence. The crime rate was low, for a Midwest City, Wichita was reasonably integrated, although housing and schools were mostly segregated. Kids played outside until the street lights came on, and baseball was king.
