Norman will honor the 1961 football state champions at halftime of Friday’s homecoming game against Sapulpa.
Norman beat Capitol Hill to win the 2A title that season. The title is one of two football championships for Norman. The Tigers also won in 1992.
Before the game, there will be a reception for the team in the Gene Corrotto Fieldhouse.
Corrotto coached the 1961 team and had a 105-40-5 record in 15 seasons with the Tigers. Corrotto was a captain on OU’s 1937 team.
