Who played in the first State Championship you ever went to?

[lostaussie]

Mine was 1978 Class B. Wheeler and Union Hill in Abilene. Wheeler rode in in Greyhound buses riding a long winning streak.........but left with a 14-7 defeat to the hands of the Bulldogs. The "Hill" went on to win another title in 82 and a runner up in 84...........my how those times have past. They may have sported the worst Class A teams in history over the last 5or so years.

Mine was Wheeler vs Bremond at Shotwell Stadium 1987. Wheeler won on a last second field goal from inside a extra point. The kick went straight up and hit the cross bar right at the center and rolled in. It did not bounce hardly at all. It was one of those breathtaking moments like a last second basketball shot that rolls around the rim. Very exciting game. 23-21

[Sville]

1993 Stephenville vs La Marque at DKR

[hollywood]

Class 3A 1982 Refugio vs Littlefield in Brownwood! I lived in Refugio then and was up visiting grandparents for Christmas break that weekend. Stadium was just a couple of miles from their house. Now that's convenient.


BTW, Refugio beat Navasota something like 23-0 the week before. My have times changed. lol

[panther89]

Southlake Carroll and Navasota in 1988 in Waco in the 3A State Championship. Southlake Carroll just manhandled Navasota that day, just like they did everyone that year.

[hollywood]

1993 Stephenville vs La Marque at DKR

That was my second ever State Championship experience! Great atmosphere and unforgetable. Loudest can fan experience I can remember.

[Ville-D]

1988

Corrigan-Camden over Quanah 35-14 at Pennington.

[Ville-D]

1988

Corrigan-Camden over Quanah 35-14 at Pennington.

Actually...

1982

Eastland over East Bernard 28 to 6

I was in 6th grade and the Magic-Mavs won it all. We had a shot in 1989 10-0 but missed the playoffs because of an ineligible (3rd string/kickoff-team) player.

[caleb_mccaig]

Celina and Liberty Hill in 06 at Floyd Casey. I just remember it was Celina's first year in 3A and we had lost to Liberty Hill in the first round that year so I felt obliged to go. It was an awesome game that ended on a FG by Liberty Hill. I remember hearing it was only like the second FG he had attempted all year.

[panfan]

Judson Rockets vs Westbrook - 1983. We lost, but is was a not a blow out. They Played in the Astrodome. Me being the dumbass teenager at the time decided girls, cars, and money were more important than finishing out my senior year on the team. I was the starting tackle. Kudos to my old team mates for a very successful year. At my 30 year HS reunion I still got asked, man why did you quit? All i can say is - stupidity. GO ROCKETS! I went to a few of their SC appearance after graduation, might of heard of them as they have racked up a few in 5A!

[Gsquared]

1988

Corrigan-Camden over Quanah 35-14 at Pennington.

Ville-D , this was my first state championship game too!

I was there that night also. Little Undra Holman from CC layed the wood to Setrick Dickens from Quanah.

[44INAROW]

1970 - Cuero vs Brownwood at DKR Stadium in Austin.. we lost but it was a true Cinderella season........... and start of many good things to come..

my oldest son has the same story - 1993, we played SLC @ Floyd Casey and lost a heart breaker. He is still PO'd at himself for missing his senior year.. :crying::weeping:

I have to correct myself (getting old) - in 82-83 we made it to the quarter finals and lost to West brook. In 83-84 school year, we went on to SC game and won against Midland lee. That was in Texas Stadium. That year we had all state running back Chris Pryor. He could run the ball but was dumb as a stump. LOL.

[waterboy]

Okay, I'll have to admit..., the first state championship game I ever went to was in 1981. Gilmer got spanked by Cameron Yoe, 26-3. It was a very cold and windy day at Floyd Casey stadium that day in December, with an occasional flurry. That was the days before we discovered the forward pass, and Yoe stacked the box with 9 to 10 players nearly every play. Interestingly enough, we grabbed the lead in that game at 3-0, just like against Navasota this past season, and it all went downhill from there...

[Emerson1]

Forney v. La Grange. 2000. Texas Stadium.


uhg.

[Trashman]

1982

I was at that game, one of the best games I have ever seen. It was a lot closer than the final score indicated.

Please... It's just "Cameron". I'll let you look at my ring. :)

My first SC game was Temple vs Converse Judsen at DKR in 1976.

[refereedoc]

Stephenville vs La Marque 1993. The swinging gate we scored on before half time turned the game IMO.

Sinton vs Everman 2001
Sinton was up at halftime 14-6 and Everman came back and won 25-14.

Dickens was a beast. He scored every point against us (Including PATS) when they knocked us out earlier. He was the RB, Kicker, Punter and Safety. He just wasn't enough to get past CC.

[Ville-D]

Ville-D , this was my first state championship game too!

Does that make us blood brothers?

[lostaussie]

Does that make us blood brothers?You don't want none of his blood.......pretty sure it is contaminated!!

TV didn't do that game any justice. I thought for sure I was going have a coronary.

[Maroon87]

Four straight years of great high school football Championships!

[bobcat1]

First one I ever went to in person was December 20, 2004 Stratford vs. Shiner in Wichita Falls. Shiner won 33 -14. I had never went to see another team play other than one I played on or one my boys played in before or after that. I saw 2 games for titles in 2006 and 2007 for Celina. My youngest was on those teams. They lost in 2006 in the last 6 seconds to a field goal by Liberty Hill and they won against China Spring in 2007 and completed an undefeated season. Watched a lot of championship games on TV though.

[ronwx5x]

1994, Houston Astrodome. Sealy 36 Atlanta 15. Still remember the Sealy fans with their "Silly Rabbits" signs.

[apache78]

1970 Cuero vs Brownwood. My uncle is Buster Gilbreath, so this Apache got hauled around to a lot of playoff games as a young kid. No wonder I still have Cuero issues.

[Old Tiger]

2006 - LH/Celina

[Bull Butter]

Please... It's just "Cameron". I'll let you look at my ring. :)

My first SC game was Temple vs Converse Judsen at DKR in 1976.
That wasn't Judson, that was SA Churchill. Judson didn't begin their run till 1983

[Bull Butter]

Mine was Judson vs Trinity in 2007. Doubleheader with Katy-Pflugerville

[Txbroadcaster]

First one I rememberr is 86 Jefferson vs Cuero...Jefferson dominated the LOS all game....I went to a couple before but really do not remember them

[villebacker]

Stephenville vs. LaMarque 1993

[Yoe_09]

Thorndale Vs. Crawford in 1994. I was 3 at the time....gotta start young.

[hookandladder]

Mind would be Flatonia - White Deer in 1988 @ Sweetwater Stadium

White Deer had the Thomas brothers playing - Zach & Bart Thomas

Flatonia lost 14-13 on a swinging gate extra point, Still hurts today.

[hookandladder]

Forney v. La Grange. 2000. Texas Stadium.


uhg.

I was at that game, what a great game. Also was in Austin 5 1/2 months later to watch us beat Forney again in baseball, what a year. State Champions in Football and Baseball, what a Senior class.

[waterboy]

Please... It's just "Cameron". I'll let you look at my ring. :)

My first SC game was Temple vs Converse Judsen at DKR in 1976.

My program said Cameron "Yoe", so I assumed it Yoe High School in Cameron. The "Yoe" Yoemen is what I always thought it was. If it's just Cameron, then why does the media still refer to it as Cameron Yoe? Just curious...

[Rabid Cougar]

That wasn't Judson, that was SA Churchill. Judson didn't begin their run till 1983

Correct. Thanks. I know I went to it rather than my uncles wedding.

[Rabid Cougar]

The school is named for C.H. Yoe who donated the land for the school. There is only one school in Cameron. I really don't know why media has taken to referring to the school that way. People from Cameron never refer to it in that fashion. I think that it is a recent trend of referring to multiple schools in larger cities. They have even started to refer small 1A schools with larger nearby towns, Temple Academy and Corsicana Mildred comes to mind.

Sorry, it is just a pet peve.

So, is the high school building itself named after Mr. Yoe, and not the school, or neither? If the school building has been named after Mr. Yoe, I can understand the confusion. Whoever started that trend in the media needs to be taken behind the woodshed!:mad: If the people in the town don't call it Yoe High School, and it's the only high school in town..., the media needs to drop the "Yoe" part. There's several schools around the state that have a larger town nearby that is put in front of their school's name, and some get upset about that. It happens. There's a 2A school about 8 or 9 miles to the west of Gilmer called Harmony. Much to the chagrin of the people in the Rosewood area (where the school is located), they used to call it Gilmer Harmony. Now, it is Big Sandy Harmony, when Big Sandy is a whole lot smaller town, and a whole lot further away. Makes no sense to me.

[coach]

Lewisville and Aldine McArthur in 1993 Chad Nelson went on to run all over AM who had a stud qb as well. Cant remember his name, but he went on to play at Baylor I believe.

[coach]

2003 5A DI finals @ Rice Stadium...Galena Park North Shore 23, The Woodlands 7. I remember Danny Amendola was playing for The Woodlands.

There was a bunch of pros playing for the shore in that game!

[Celina8]

I have actually been to every Classification State Championship at least one time in my life. First State Championship was the 8-man State Championship in 1972 Chilton beat Windthorst 6-0, followed by Class B Celina vs Big Sandy 1974, then I saw Richland Springs beat Rule in 2006 in the 6 Man State Championship. I actually just lack the Super Bowl and the BCS National Championship game are the only two left on my bucket list. I have seen ever NCAA National Championship Division except the BCS. Probablly will never make it to my final two on the list, but I almost climbed the top of the mountain.

[BwdLion73]

Like Brownwood Early lol Early has nothing to do with Brownwood except they share a border

I don't understand that. :vrycnfsd: Is that like Glen ----- Rose? :D

1969-Brownwood -- West Columbia
1970-Brownwood -- Cureo (cold)

[coach]

I don't understand that. :vrycnfsd: Is that like Glen ----- Rose? :D

1969-Brownwood -- West Columbia

Waco Robinson? Waco Le Vega? Waco Connaly? Waco China Spring?

[Rabid Cougar]

Waco Robinson? Waco Le Vega? Waco Connaly? Waco China Spring?

China Spring is the only one actually in Waco. PLEASE do not get that started.

Yea we call it C.H. Yoe High School. There is no such thing as "Cameron High School" but there are the Cameron Yoemen. Confusing, I know.

Celina and Liberty Hill in 06 at Floyd Casey. I just remember it was Celina's first year in 3A and we had lost to Liberty Hill in the first round that year so I felt obliged to go. It was an awesome game that ended on a FG by Liberty Hill. I remember hearing it was only like the second FG he had attempted all year.
It was his first FG attempt. :D That was my first state championship game as well. In 2007 we went to LH vs Gilmer, then Celina vs CS the next week.

[bobcat1]

It was his first FG attempt. :D That was my first state championship game as well. In 2007 we went to LH vs Gilmer, then Celina vs CS the next week.

I know. That's what made it bad. Our field goal kicker was automatic...... Except that day. He missed 2 or 3 extra and a point blank field goal. Your guy kicks his one and only field goal of the year in the last 6 seconds of the game to win it all. Tip of the cap to him and LH!

[bobcat1]

Like Brownwood Early lol Early has nothing to do with Brownwood except they share a borderand the only Whataburger is in Early. They share that.:wave:

[Old Tiger]

It was his first FG attempt. :D That was my first state championship game as well. In 2007 we went to LH vs Gilmer, then Celina vs CS the next week.

Found this this list thought I would share.

http://www.texasfootball.com/all-time-state-champions/

[lostaussie]

My second State game was 1980 Pittsburg/Van Vleck at Kyle Field. That 80 Pitt team was awesome and still today I say the second best 3A team I have ever seen behind 83 D'field.

[44INAROW]

Yea we call it C.H. Yoe High School. There is no such thing as "Cameron High School" but there are the Cameron Yoemen. Confusing, I know.

but I guarantee someone will correct us if we put Yoe in front of it :vrycnfsd::cheerl:

My second state championship was Lewisville vs Converse Judson 1996 @ Floyd Casey Satdium and Lewisville won in a route with the help of LUUUUUUKE Taylor scoring a then record 5 tds in a state championship game.

I thought you were an "Old Tiger" not an "Old Blackcat"!!

[bd62]

Cuero first SC in 1973. I was 2 Lol
But the think I never forget was the Cameron Yoe
Port Isabel game in early 80's in Victoria. It was 70 degrees
But every fan from Yoe came in with heavy jackets
and PI fans short sleeve shirts. Right before kickoff a
Blue Norther blew in and it dropped from 70 to mid 20's by
Kickoff. Yoe captains messed up and kicked off against
The wind. Did not matter Yoe was ahead by 30 points
at halftime so I left even thou I did have a jacket. Those were
The days when weather forecasts were not very good.

[rancher]

The first one I saw was in 1965 Plano 20 Edna 17 both were 2A. However the real state championship game was a few weeks earlier in Corsicana when Plano beat West 6-0, this was the best high school game I have ever seen. West should have won that night but had two fumbles inside the 10 yard line that killed their drives.
