The pride of Eufaula, these brothers dominated opposing offenses while playing football at Eufaula and the University of Oklahoma (OU) and were inducted into the Eufaula Hall of Fame this past Friday on homecoming night. Lucious II (born March 15, 1951), Dewey Willis (born November 19, 1953), and Lee Roy (born October 20, 1954) Selmon, all born in Muskogee, were three of nine siblings who grew up outside Eufaula. Eufaula High School coach Paul Bell coaxed Lucious into running track in the seventh grade and eventually interested him in football. The two younger Selmon brothers, born eleven months apart, belonged to the same class and followed their older brother into football.
