overtime rule in football

[pancho villa]

Anyone know what year the overtime rule went into effect for high school football in Texas. It used to go on penatrations and 1st downs.

I may be off but I think in Texas High School Football I think it was established in 1997.

yes it was my senior year 1997

I thought so Matthew. I remember Sinton won its' first OT game against Aransas Pass in 1998 and I thought it had been established the prior year.

I would have guessed 1997 or the year before.

It was 1996, Bwood beat Sville 42-39 in double OT that season.

I covered a Bay City-Lamar Consolidated overtime game last year in Rosenberg-Also covered coverered overtime games with Boling vs Van Vleck and Wharton vs Sweeney-I think I've been to a total of 5 OT gamce since 1997-They are exciting to watch

Remember when those penatrations, then first downs determined a winner?

HA HA...He said PENETRATION...LOL....

I love the overtime rituals...determining who goes first, deciding whether to go for 2 for the win or kick PAT & go one more round, & explaining to every band parent around you what the hell is going on....

if I remember right...went to total yardage if the first two were tied.

I remember districts breaking final standings with a coin flip......that stunk.


I remember in basketball and sometimes in baseball....some districts played rounds...first round and second round champions...then would play for the title if both were different teams.
