He was the team’s second leading rusher with 809 yards on 106 carries, scoring 10 TDs. Rabroker was also nominated to the district’s all-academic team.

The Rosebud News shared its Season’s Greetings with a Giant-Sized Christmas Card in the December 21, 2000 edition with a front-page picture of the REA, Rural Electrification Administration, “Rosebud Christmas Tree” and the front steps entrance and stained-glass window of the First United Methodist Church which was announcing its Christmas Eve Services. But first a little history lesson: The city of Rosebud had electricity, but it wasn’t until Franklin D. Roosevelt created the REA in 1936 so that it was possible to bring electricity to farms and rural areas. It was a big deal for rural families to get electricity. My dad married in 1946 and moved into the same house he was born in. It was located in the Walkers Creek Community of Milam County which had no electricity. He promised my mother that as soon as they ran electrical lines in the county, he would get her a stove, refrigerator, iron and radio. Plus, they would have a light bulb ceiling fixture in each room. He had the house wired and waited for the electricity to come and when it did, he kept his promise to my mother. It certainly made life a lot easier for everyone.
