Glory days comeback, Red?

[Sweetwater Red]

Glory days comeback, Red?


They don't have an easy road. If they can beat Euless Trinity (3rd round) , Allen (quarters), Lake Travis (semis) and Katy(state championship) then yes.

[BwdLions]

They don't have an easy road. If they can beat Euless Trinity (3rd round) , Allen (quarters), Lake Travis (semis) and Katy(state championship) then yes.

If they can beat those teams in consecutive weeks, the MOJO is definitely back (and better than ever). That would be an incredible run. I'd love to see it.

[Celina8]

Gainsville was dominant in the 70's,

Denison

Converse Judson

Union Hill in the 70's

Big Sandy early 70's

Plano

McKinney

Groveton

Lufkin

Houston Yates

I will stop there oh wait a few more


Clifton

DeLeon

McGregor

Oh man, that would be nuts. They should win their first two playoffs games with ease.

[coach]

Celina played in the semifinals last year, too. Has a really good chance to do it again this year, too.

I was kidding with the brownwood and celina peeps.

[Rabid Cougar]

Marlin for sure. Since 2005. Had a running back named "Tank" for at least 5 or 6 years.

[lostaussie]

Daingerfield

[Celina8]

I remember Childress , Littlefield, Conroe, man just a bunch of names started coming to mind.

[speedbump]

I remember Childress , Littlefield, Conroe, man just a bunch of names started coming to mind.

Conroe historically good????

[Celina8]

Seems like I remember Conroe being pretty good in the late 70's and mid 80's

[BwdLion73]

I was kidding with the brownwood and celina peeps.

Well the thread was "Historically good teams that have been down a while". I thought you were right on Brownwood. I don't want to get in a leather helmet battle with Bobcat1, lol but from my perspective of Brownwood football we have been down some.

That being said a down year for Bwd. is a great year for most teams.

[panfan]

Lewisville - Dominated the 90's
Quero
Crockett
Brownwood
Celina
Liberty Hill
:lies:
No respect.

[toddg]

Longview Lobos where its always 1937

[bobcat1]

That being said a down year for Bwd. is a great year for most teams.Get it right. Leather helmets and High top cleats. Celina has been down since 2007. You see unless it's a Championship year it's a down year in Celina.

[Celina8]

Does anyone remember how good Commerce use to be along with Sealy.

[Roughneck93]

Midland Lee

[Scoop27]

Schulenburg way back in the 70s and mid 80s

[lostaussie]

Did they:D

[BwdLion73]

Get it right. Leather helmets and High top cleats. Celina has been down since 2007. You see unless it's a Championship year it's a down year in Celina.

That's my way of thinking. ;)

[cougartino]

Since winning the ship in 2006, La Marque has posted sub .500 seasons in only 08 and 09. We just haven't been the La Marque of old, an upper echelon team. We may never be again.

[d0tc0m]

Geeze. Commerce and Sealy ... that's a blast from the past.

[Celina8]

Geeze. Commerce and Sealy ... that's a blast from the past.

I always thought when Commerce moved down a classification they would have success but for some reason it just had not happened. With the population growth in Texas and so many new schools popping up it has seemed to have a bigger impact on the larger schools that I remember having winning traditions as many have had their enrollments split off to this newer schools. With that being said some of the smaller schools that had great traditions grew and have struggled with the move into higher classifications such as Forney, Royce City, and a few others I am sure.

[slingshot]

Schulenburg way back in the 70s and mid 80sSchulenburg was pretty danged good in the early 90's too... had a couple of classic state championship games with Goldthwaite.

[coach]

Marlin for sure. Since 2005. Had a running back named "Tank" for at least 5 or 6 years.

Who was there qb? Little white kid. Last name wsa Malone. Dude was a punk.

Yea, I guess you are right about from a Brownwood perspective. They are use to winning state titles.

Commerce was always a strange town..won alot but not what I would call a football crazy town. Same with Forney.

[nobogey72]

Vernon is a team that in the 90's were dominant. Only won 1 SC but played in a few. Always went deep. And, it's not like they haven't had some athletes. At 1 point a couple of years ago, they had 4 in the NFL. Bernard Scott, Clyde Gates, Darrell Richardson, and Ashtan Whiteside. They just haven't put a complete team together in a while.

[Rabid Cougar]

Don't know but he could chunk it.

[maestro]

Bay city....

This HAS TO top the list

I will bet old timers in Bay City probably never thought that it would be like this. And I would also throw in Bay City hoops.

[toddg]

long time Southlake OC Lineweaver made them a powerhouse for several years, winning a couple of SCs...when he left for ET, so did the powerhouse

[Tink4392]

Amarillo
Corsicana

[Scoop27]

Bay City also had some top notch boys track teams way back when

[Gen.Pat]

Brownwood
CLEBURNE
Stephenville not as dominate as they were when Art was there in the early 1990's.

[WOS87]

Here's all the Quarterfinalists since 1980 in our essential equivalent classification over the years and changes. Seems like most of the usual suspects have remained the usual suspects for quite a while. Commerce, Sealy, Port Isabel, Burnet, Vernon are still around and still competitive.. just not Semifinal material as of late.
