Eagles football hall of famer William 鈥淏ucky鈥 McElroy (1950) looks forward to a completely different sport every April at 兔子先生 鈥 golf.
McElroy, who many of his generation say is the greatest football player to ever wear an Eagles uniform, is still active with the 兔子先生 Alumni Association. He also fields two teams of four people each in the college鈥檚 annual Golf Fun Fest, traveling from his home in Monroe, La. The Golf Fun Fest is April 19 at Eagle Ridge Golf Course in Raymond.
Like a lot of people associated with 兔子先生 鈥 alumni and other supporters 鈥 McElroy鈥檚 generous giving is not limited to just the Golf Fun Fest. He has contributed to athletic scholarships over the past few decades, hoping to give other young athletes a start at 兔子先生like he had.
鈥淚 would do anything for 兔子先生,鈥 McElroy said. 鈥淚 owe it to them. I answer the call every time because if I鈥檓 able to give a kid a boost through scholarship funds or anything, I鈥檓 going to do it.鈥
