Here is my list..there have been so many good ones...here is my list
1. 1994 Tyler John Tyler vs Plano East 5A Region 2 Final: in my opinion the best game ever played in Texas High School History...Plano East trails 41-17 with 3 minutes left and proceeds to go on the greatest comeback I have ever witnessed on any level..scoring a TD to make it 41-24, then recovering an onside kick to make it 41-31...then recovering another onside kick...and scoring another TD to make it 41-37..and then recovering ANOTHER onside kick and scoring ANOTHER TD to make it 44-41 with less than 20 seconds left..East was celebrating..but Roderick Dunn (I'll never forget that name!) returned the kickoff 90 yards to win an unforgettable game 48-44...
2. 2002 Converse Judson vs Midland 5A State Championship Game: Another unforgettable game..Midland jumps out to a quick 13-0 lead...Judson then runs off 24 straight points to take a 24-13 lead at the half..Midland then scores 2 2nd half TD's to make it 25-24..later in the 4th Judson gets a FG to make it 27-25 with 1:10 left..then it gets fun..Midland runs the 2 minute drill and rolls down the field and 5 plays and 66 yards later Midland took a 32-27 lead..but there was still 15 seconds left and Andre Williams burned the MHS secondary and caught a 76 yard TD pass in stride with less than 5 seconds left for a thrilling 33-32 win..the crowd of 25,000 at the Alamodome was half in shock, half in joyous celebration..
3. 1992 Southlake Carroll vs Vernon Class 3A Region 1 Semi-Final: A matchup of 2 12-0 teams who were 1-2 in the state...in front of an overflow crowd of an estimated 16,000 at Pennington Field..12 year old Matthew sat on top of the wall in the east end zone and watched this absolute offensive show..Dane Johnson and that RB from Vernon (I can't remember his name) ran wild in this classic..with less than 2 minutes to go and Vernon inside the SLC 20 the RB from Vernon fumbled and SLC blew everyone else away on their way to the title...
4. 2001 Everman vs Forney Class 3A Area Round: 2 11-0 squads ranked 1-2 in the state in front of an overflow crowd at Pennington Field (sound familar) the crowd was estimated at 14,000...Everman took advantage of a Forney mistake on special teams and took a 14-3 lead into the locker room..Forney came out smoking and cut the score to 14-9..star TB DaBryan Blanton fumbled and Everman took advantage to make it 21-9..Forney stormed back to make it 21-17....a late drive by Forney that took close to 10 minutes and 3 4th down conversions saw Forney on the Everman 25 yard line with 1:01 left...a 4th and 1 situation and FB Bryson Brown was stopped for a loss of 2 to give Everman the win...
5. 1999 Stephenville vs Ennis 4A State Semi-Final: the old power vs the up and comer..Stephenville with 3 titles vs Ennis who for the past 20 years had struggled mightily in football..But Ennis went back and forth with the Jackets all game long and with the score 31-31 late the Jackets went on a long drive and with less than 30 seconds left S'vile got the FG to win 34-31...Stephenville won their 4th state title and Ennis would have to wait until 2000 to win the first of what would be back to back titles..
