Hall of Honor Induction: 1990

Roddy Bagley rounds out the 1990 “T” Association Hall of Honor threesome. Athletics were always very important to Bagley and were a major emphasis in his life.

As the year’s passed, Bagley continued to hold Southwest Texas athletics, especially the “T” Association, in highest esteem. Nothing ever took the place of athletics in Roddy’s life.

Bagley began playing sports in junior high and continued throughout college. From 1960-64, Bagley played football under head coach Milton Jowers and was an all-Lone Star Conference safety and co-captain of two district championship teams. He also helped lead his team to a perfect 10-0 record in 1963. Jowers instilled in him and his teammates the dedication to become a quality young man with high ideals.

In his undergraduate years and away from athletics, Bagley was recognized as a member of Who’s Who among American Colleges and Universities, a Gaillardian in 1961 and a class officer.

Bagley chose the career path to be a coach and a math teacher after graduation from SWT. He spent time at Holmes High School in San Antonio and later taught and coached at San Marcos high school where he went on to become the assistant principal.

From 1969 until his passing in Sept. of 1987, Bagley was the district manager of the Lower Colorado River Authority. He is survived by his wife, Joann Bagley.
