Who are your top 5 best teams that didn't win state over the past 10 years?

I could see Chapel Hill fiting in this list if they don't win it this year.

2009 Cuero Gobblers. Lost to Gilmer in one of the best (cold) games I've seen.

Saggy Aggie

2009 Abilene Wylie

no. They got completely demolished and wasn't even close to the best team in the state. I didnt even think they belonged on the same field as Gilmer.

If you want a great team from 2009 that didnt win it all, it's the Cuero Gobblers who lost on the goal line to Gilmer in the semis in one of the best games ive ever seen. THAT was the real state championship game and had Cuero pulled it out, theyd have done the exact same thing to Wylie that Gilmer did.

Wylie had their worst game of the year and were banged up badly. Cuero played the best they had all year against Gilmer. I honestly think Wylie would have handled Cuero easily.
Another to consider was the '08 Wylie squad. Lost that wild double OT thriller on a very controversial 2 pt conversion to Prosper in the semi's--Prosper goes on to handle La Vega in the final. Wylie had already beaten La Vega in the reg season.

Not saying we would have won at full strength...but it would have been a closer game for sure.

2008 and 2009 Wylie squads were good but dunno if they are in the category of greatest teams not to win it all...
their 2000 squad may qualify for that distinction though

lmao okay. we'll go with that. Trent jackson ran for what? 300 yards and 4 tds against the same gilmer D that shut wylie down?

Cuero would have rolled Wylie. Maybe if they had their injured starters back or whoever they could have competed, but would have handled cuero easily is one of the funniest things ive heard. Gilmer BARELY got by Cuero and then stomped wylie but alright.

I think Wylie matched up against Cuero ten times better than they did Gilmer. We all know it's a matchups game. I think Cuero beats Wylie by 10-14 though.

In that Cuero/Gilmer game---Cuero had the better team IMO. But, Gilmer had Godfrey. He was amazing avoiding sacks and gaining 20 yards on the play. Don't know how many times Cuero appeared to have him stopped in the back field, then he escapes. Tremendous athlete.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBC8gQdz9H8Yeah, he was unreal to watch. Having a QB that can throw, run, and throw on the run is too much for most teams to handle...but that year they also had fast recievers that could make circus catches, and a mobile O-line. Wylie went into that game not only physically banged up, but mentally depleted from the week before...I think going in full strength we could have given them a game, but lose in the end to superior athletes.

Well, some may consider that a homer pick on my part, Matt---but the '08 Bull offense is possibly the best we ever had, with only the '01 semi team probably up there with it. Again---just an offense does not an SC team make---but the defense was also pretty good, too. When healthy, they scored effortlessly---even against some of the good teams. They just ran up against an exceptional LH team that season.

Cuero and Gilmer were head and shoulders above anyone else that year. Just ask Gilmer fans. Wylie wasn't even close to their level. I saw all 3. Did you? My guess is no because what would a Wylie fan be doing watching cuero. Maybe it was just injuries, but the Wylie team I saw wouldn't have even put up much of a fight against cuero. And if you don't believe it, I'm the 2nd person to say cuero actually had the better team on this thread... So it's not just me. Gilmer just had 1 superior QB and just enough on the goal line stand

They played in Waxahachie. I actually went to that game. Wimberley was a very good team.

I'll nominate the 10-1 Gilmer Buckeyes. Lost to LE in round one in what (around here) is still considered one of the great upsets. LE had a RB by the name of LaMichael James. I wonder what ever happened to him.

It was in waxahachie and my wife and I had the misfortune of being on the bus that broke down on the way. Thankfully as Wimberley fans came along they would take as many as would fit in their cars starting with the cheerleaders and others involved. We were some of the last ones off the bus and got to the game in the middle of the first quarter. They announced over the PA what had happened and asked all who needed a ride back to Wimberley meet those who had room at halftime to make arrangements.Everyone got home safe and sound but that was the last bus trip for us!
