The beginning of football at KC:
The easy-going rural life of Kilgore changed drastically with the discovery of oil in December 1930. With the newfound success of the oil boom, Kilgore civic and business leaders realized it was possible to pursue what had earlier been an impossible dream -- establishing a community college. In the fall of 1935, operating under the Kilgore Independent School District, Kilgore College opened with a student enrollment of 229 and 11 faculty members.
A football team was established in those first months and in its first season, the KC Rangers compiled a 5-3-2 record. KC has fielded a squad every year since, except the WWII years of 1943-1944, and carved its niche into the Texas football annals, compiling a record of 491-289-13.
A winning program rich with tradition:
KC is the winningest junior college football program in Texas.
- Two national titles (1966, 1978)
- Conference Champions 26 times
- Bowl game appearances (20)
- All-Americans (89 total, 52 First-Team)
- NFL players (20 since 2000)
- Division I players from KC (41 Division I players signed from KC since 2010)
