Another great story about a former NSU Demon football player was featured in Bob Tompkins’ “Tales from the Crossroads” series in the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper (www.thetowntalk.com) today.
“The right man” tells about Cottonport native and former NSU center Kim Gaspard, who is one of the leading contenders to succeed the retiring Tommy Henry as the commissioner of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association. Gaspard, principal at Airline High School in Bossier City, is among six finalists who will interview with the selection committee Thursday.
Kim is the younger brother of Steve Gaspard, who played on the Demons’ unbeaten 1966 team that reunites on campus Saturday to mark its 40th anniversary. Their father, Jimmy, played on the Demons’ unbeaten 1939 team. Kim played for the Demons in the mid-1970s, lettering in 1974-75.
