KILGORE, Texas — The Kilgore Rangerettes marked two milestones this week, celebrating their 85th anniversary and their 75th Cotton Bowl performance.
Following their performance at the Cotton Bowl, the team got a shoutout from a Texas celebrity. The drill team posted a message from none other than Texas movie star Matthew McConaughey on Facebook.
