Whip out your binoculars at Navarro’s next home game and try to find No. 75 when the Bulldogs enter the field prior to their game against Tyler Junior College on Sept. 24 at Tiger Stadium.
Ray Kibble will be the instigator of what will likely be a staple of the Navarro pre-game ritual.
“Let’s get it!”
That’s Kibble’s chant that ignites the Navarro defense. The 6-4, 290-pound sophomore revs up his teammates with the help of fellow defensive tackle Lawrence Rumph with a chant they created when the team came together for summer workouts.

The Second Navarro County Oil Boom
Jane Dunn Taylor wrote an excellent account of the oil industry in Navarro County, providing excellent insights into the economic and social impact the industry had not only in this area but in Texas and the United States. The first commercial oil field in Texas was developed when oil was accidentally discovered with the city limits of Corsicana only blocks from the business district in 1894. By the end of the decade there were 500 wells within the city, producing 800,000 barrels of oil per year.
The real boom for Navarro County came in 1923 with the development of the Powell field. Located 10 miles east of Corsicana, the community of Powell was organized in the 1880s with the extension of the Cotton Belt Railroad, and named for a pioneer settler in the area. Powell was a typical cotton-based town until an operation called the Corsicana Deep Well Company announced plans to drill for oil in the Powell area. Spurred by discoveries in Mexia and Wortham, company geologists were convinced that significant oil deposits lay in eastern Navarro County as well.
Dr. Tommy Stringer is executive director of the Navarro College Foundation.
