When Norman Funderburk and David Pierce bleed, they “bleed purple.”
Bleeding purple is an old Humble saying for Humble High graduates who live and breathe the Wildcat way. The Wildcat, for those not in the know, is the Humble High mascot and the Humble color is purple.
Bleeding purple fits Funderburk and Pierce to a T. Both grew up in Humble. Pierce is a native. Funderburk is practically a native. They both care deeply about Humble, its residents and businesses, and the vast area that makes up what is now the Lake Houston community.
