4A dropping to 3A

[Eagle1]

With all the talk of Lamarque, Stephenville, Kilgore and others dropping and how they will dominate how many teams that have dropped to 3A in the last 10 years won state. I can think of Henderson and Chapel Hill and even Chapel Hill took their lumps a few years in 3A. Some teams who have failed to get it done that I thought would be real good are Brownwood, Mineral Wells, Jasper, Palestine, Athens, Paris, Big Spring, Alvarado, Andrews, Borger, Pampa, Navasota, WO Stark, Burnet, Lampasas, Fredricksburg, Columbia, and Rockport. I forgot Carthage dropped about 10 years ago, but they didn't start winning big until several years in 3A. I guess all these teams have done better than they would in 4A and Alvarado, Brownwood, Navasota and Columbus have been close. The point is just because teams drop does not mean instant guaranteed success. Henderson is the only team I can think of to drop and win state their first year and they got 3rd in their district that year, correct me if I am wrong.

Henderson is the only one that won state their first year, I think WOS made the semis in their first year....Jasper made the semis also (lost to Burnet)....Everman made the semis the first year and then won it the next two years

[Eagle1]

I forgot about Everman dropping and then going back up. They had a nice run.

CH imo should not be in this talk...they took 8 years to get to finals and 9 years to win state and basically came out of nowhere..in the time they dropped to 3A ere very average to below average until this two year run and we still dont know if that was just an amazing class or the beginnings of a power program

Henderson was a whipping boy before they dropped.

yea they were..but to be fair they spent alot of that time in one of the toughest 4A districts in the state.

they dropped at the perfect time...their talent was best at school since the Dudley days and were young enough to have a two year shot in 3A

with 5 of them coming since 03 and that included two 1 win seasons..be honest Henderson had become a bottom feeder in 4A before the drop

That is what the father of one of my son's team mate, Daniel Prior,told me. He missed the championship season. Said they only had won 1 game his senior season and was not very sucessful prior to that.

Dudley was a beast in high school. That's when Carthage and Henderson had a REAL rivalry and not this "since we both have titles we should be friends" crap.
