Best 3 Teams You Ever Saw Your team Play

[Bullaholic]

For the Bulls, I think the list would look like this:

1. Commerce 01' - D2 State Champs

2. Gainesville 03' -D1 State Champs

3. Decatur 04' - D1 ?????

[neck_06]

Brenham 02'......in the 3rd round of the playoffs

[Ranger05]

daingerfield 2002 in the 3A state semifinals division 2

[TheDOCTORdre]

02 Decatur in the Region I semifinals D2
02 Greenwood in the 3A state quarterfinals D2

[LH Panther Mom]

1 & 2 - Burnet Bulldogs '02, '03
3 - Port Isabel Tarpons

[Ranger05]

that game against sweetwater was a great game its a shame that somebody had to go home after that one

[TheDOCTORdre]

That game was a classic it still kinda makes me wonder why ya'll didnt go for the field goal at the end and gave us the chance to nearly win the game

[Ranger05]

what it was dawson fumbled the ball i think on 3rd down and coach purser wanted to get the ball a little closer so it would be a chip and dawson had always done great on the QB draw

[TheDOCTORdre]

oh I always thought it was 4th down

[Ranger05]

when dawson fumbled the ball i really thought yall were about to drive down there and score. yall nearly did u got it to what the 20 before carillo fumbled the ball

[c-town_balla]

Jasper Bulldogs- '02
Gatesville- the year they won state I forget
Marlin- last year

[Ranger05]

carillo had a great game. the coaches designed a defense that they would put in when they knew carillo would drop back to pass. they put dawson and jeremy at the ends to try and contain him

[MASH4077]

The Decatur - Sweetwater game before the game you are talking about was the most exciting and gut wrenching game I have ever witnessed.

[TheDOCTORdre]

Oh man half of Sweetwater thought we had lost the game on the last play

[sinton66]

Everman 2001
Burnet 2002
Missouri City-Dulles 1962 and 1963

[sinfan75]

1982 Refugio
2001 Everman

[3afan]

1 :: 1993 Southlake Carroll, 16-0 3A champs
2 :: 2001 Everman, 15-0 3A champs
3 :: ?

[lobo12]

EVERMAN 2002

greenwood 2002

lamesa 2000

[LST_Terry]

1.1983 Dangerfield Tigers (D.A) 16 points scored on in 16 games enough
2. 1986 Jefferson Bulldogs 16-0 beat Cuero in champ game..Two 2,000 yd rushers a 1,000 yard WR.
3. ANY SLC team from the early 90's

[BullsFan]

I don't know, Bullaholic. I kind of think some of those Southlake Carroll teams we faced in the 90s would rank up there at the top if not THE top.

True, BullsFan...I thought about those, but I couldn't remember if it was the 93' or 94' SLC team we played. The 94' SLC team won 3A state, I think.

[28OptionOn2]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the highly-touted Sealy teams of the mid 90's.

1. Sealy in 1995
2. Sealy in 1997
3. Commerce in 1999

This is a tough topic to pick though, considering all of the bias in High School football. Just going with what I've seen here.

[PPHSfan]

Celina 2000
Gainesville 2003
Atlanta 2003

Wow, I bet PP was the only team last year in 3a that lost to BOTH State Champs.

[AggieBob]

Burnet '02

that prolly was the hardest fought game we were in that year...i will have to say that i believe yall were better than greenwood, but we just played better against yall...but both games were AWESOME, Sweetwater always seems to have those last second scoring games

[Port_town_texas]

Lufkin----2001
WO-S----2000
Jasper---2001

[Jody]

2002 and 2003 Katy Tigers (5-A).

I wished I could comment on 3A, but our coaches never seem to get BH far enough in the playoffs to see the better teams.

[BJG40]

Everman '01 and '02

[cunbed10]

Burnet 02'
Ennis 02'
Atlanta 03'
Marlin has played some nice team.

We had SLC that game and chocked at the end............. gggrrrr bad memories of that one.........

[IHStangFan]

the 95 Cuero team

[TigerShark]

Newton has played several great teams

-- Cameron about '81 or '82
-- Sealy '95 or '96 (beat a good Newton 82-6)
-- Marlin last year

Also got to see Jasper play Willowridge in about '80 or '81
Willowridge had Thurman Thomas, they where great.

Any Jasper people remeber that.
I was only about 6, but it was one of those great childhood memories. They played in Pasadina, "Urban Cowboy" had just came out and my Dad took the family to Gilley's before the game.
He bought us matching black Stetson hats with a big turquoise feather. My dad drank the only beer I ever saw him drink, it was a Long Star, and he gave me the bottle. What a trip.

[TigerShark]

[CHS_DT#75]

everman '02

[spiveyrat]

LaMarque - 199?
Bay City - 199?
Huntsville - 199?

I would have said Burnet, '02. But I didn't "see" the game. I "heard" the game.

WO-S gets an honorable mention in several matchups.

[IHStangFan]

was it the 95 Goliad team that had Elton Perry?

I am going out on a limb here..... I might be wrong, but didn't Cuero play SLC for the State Championship in Waco in Dec 1993?

[Adidas410s]

Breckenridge '98 and '99...the years they had Watkins @ QB and Polley @ RB...still cant believe they didnt win state those two years.

Everman '02 - the beating that they put on Wylie wasn't even fair. For the score to only be 37-0 was lucky for Wylie because the Everman defense looked like a D1 college program playing a mediocore D3 offense...or we could just substitute in Baylor here!

Gainesville '03 - While I'm not a big fan of the offense they use with coach calling in plays after the defense is set...I still have to say this was the most athleticm team I have seen in any classification. The speed on this team was UNREAL for 3A...their D-line guys were consistently running down RB's and WR's...it was fun to watch!

I know its not 3A but I have to also include the '95 Austin Westlake team. I was still an Abilene Cooper kid cuz we didnt move to Wylie until '97 and watching Brees and company completely destroy Cooper @ Texas Stadium in the finals...it was definitely a mismatch!

Yes, that was a good story. Jasper actually played Willowridge and Thomas twice, first in 82 at Lamar Cardinal Stadium in Beaumont, and the game you saw in 83 at Pasadena. I was at that game, in the drizzling rain. :(

Jasper got whipped good in 82, but were more ready in 83, finally losing 6-10. At the time Willowridge was ranked 5th in the nation by USA. Then Bay City walloped them the next week on their way to winning state. You just never know what is going to happen in HS football! :confused:

He was my age, but he played varsity in 95. Helluva back.

[big daddy russ]

Originally posted by IHStangFan

He's a starter up there, but I think:thinking: he got injured (again). He's an awesome QB and probably the best player on that team... when he's in the game. But the injury bug bit him hard the past few years and he just can't seem to shake it.

[big daddy russ]

Best teams in any classification I've seen personally...

1. Austin Westlake '00... High-powered offense lost to Midland Lee in the State Finals... featured Chad Shroeder at QB and an awesome WR who snagged everything within a three-mile radius... Midland Lee must've been awesome, they beat the Chaps by 12...

2. LaMarque '95 or '96... I forget which year, they all kinda run together, but it was the last year they played against Calallen in the Semis in the Astrodome... Fastest team I've ever seen regardless of classification and the best LaMarque team I saw in that little run of theirs through the mid-90's...

3. Lufkin '01... Reggie made that team go... They had so many athletes it made me sick... Might have made it to State without Reggie, but he was absolutely untouchable... One of those rare athletes that is just on a completely different level than any other player around him...



Best 3A teams....

1. Cuero '95... At least two future NFL'ers played on that team, maybe three (I've heard both... anybody from Cuero is welcome to enlighten the rest of us on the subject)... Eight players on that team went on to play college ball at some level... Clint Finley was an absolute God between the sidelines... He was a skill position player and was running over our linemen like it was nothing... The strongest back I've ever seen... Everybody on their line was at least the size of a Toyota... Simply dominating... Would've loved to see them play Sealy that year, but didn't have the funds to go...

2-4. Everman/Sinton/Forney '01... They were all on the same level, all were absolute powerhouses... I think that was a Golden Year for football at the 3A level... All three of those teams were a notch above any of the teams in the years leading up to then and the teams that followed... For anybody that saw Everman in 2002 and thought they were one of the best ever, you should've seen them the year before... Everman's defense was the fastest that Class 3A may have ever seen... One of their DB's actually ran down former Forney RB and current Sooner track star DaBryon Blanton from behind in their showdown at Pennington... Forney was a mirror image of Everman; tough D and smashmouth offense that they just dared you to stop them... Blanton was untouchable, even Everman couldn't stop him... If I remember correctly, it was a 17-14 game... Sinton was a different monster, but was a monster nonetheless... Perfectly balanced defense and a balanced offense where the QB and RBs complemented each other nicely... Had a 6'7" 300-pound DT allowing a stable of 4.6 LBs to run free through the hashes... Curt Jones was a top-notch pass-rusher and the secondary was anchored by All-State FS Chance Schmidt... DL averaged something like 6'3" 260 lbs... Only one member of the D-Line was relegated to Second-Team All-District, and that was because Ingleside had a 6'2" 225# senior that is playing at Texas State as we speak... Adrian Alaniz, only a junior, had already established himself as one of the State's premier signal-callers (had started on two other playoff teams in the two years leading up to his junior campaign) and had 4.5 speed to keep defenses from keying on his receivers... Oh, and he also had All-State tailback Marcus Charles and All-District running back Julian Ruiz to help him out, too...

[Bellville22]

Marlin '02 (We won in 3 OT)
Marlin '03 (They won...another classic!)
Rice '03

[Ranger05]

daingerfield 02
sweetwater 02
Muleshoe i believe 00

[sinton66]

Hey Russ, that Sinton/Everman game saw a first too. Bet it was the first time Everman's top back was caught from behind too. Charles ran him down from behind and tackled him at about the five. Man, that was the closest matched teams I've ever seen.

I don't doubt it. Marcus was a blur. Put any one of those three teams in a time warp anywhere from about 1998 until present and they would be the favorite to win State. I've never seen that many loaded teams in 3A meet in the same year. I've heard 1995 was similar, but I never saw Commerce or Sealy.

I did get to see something similar in 2A, though. 2000 was a Golden Year down there. Celina and Mart each had 36+ game winning streaks going into the State Championship that year. Them, Refugio, Lone Oak, Sonora and Blanco were all absolute studs.

[Mustang '89]

Manor's opponents:

Cameron '81
Refugio '87 (I played in this game)
Newton '98

Two of the three won state champonships (Cameron and Newton) Refugio should have won in '87.

[big daddy russ]

Hey 66, what ever happened to eye of the tiger? Does he still post on here... I'd like to hear what he says about those Commerce teams from the mid-90's.

[CRHSeagle]

'01 Everman
'02 Everman

[lobo12]

didnt see 01 Everman, but 02 Everman was the best team i have seen play

[big daddy russ]

They lost a few key players to graduation after '01. That '02 team was awesome too, but '01 was unbelieveable. You would have loved it.

I know it was for Polley the RB...I'm not positive but i think that that QB was a Jr as well. He went to Arizona after graduating but never got above 2nd on the depth chart and I THINK that he transferred back to Tarleton State for his final 2 years when they were one of the top D2 teams in the country.

[pancho villa]

We were lucky enough to be in the same district as Texas City D-I champs LaMarque D-II champs and Lamar Con. dist champs in 97.

Gunn did very well against UofH, scored 2 TD's, and passed for 2 TD's coming off the bench.

Id have to second that. . . one of the BEST sinton teams EVER .. . I do believe, though, that Ruiz, Brittain, W. Schmidt, and Chris Rhines are very underrated. . . they were BIG components of this team.

Oh yeah, the defense didn't have a weak link, but the guy who made that defense a monster was Zack Peterson.

Your defense was built around those linebackers of yours and Schmidt. You had the speed to get anywhere on the field you wanted to go, and the linebackers really became more like wanderers that only played 3-5 yards off the ball. They could go anywhere they wanted because Peterson was always taking on two or three guys. He was so big and so stong and the only team who could afford to body up on him (and they still had to mix in a double team from time to time) was Everman. Your linebackers were AWESOME because of him. They didn't have to worry about downfield blockers, they could just make a b-line towards the ball and get there. If they would have had an average line, they still would have been great, but you look at that year and the '02 team the LB's were fighting to get to the ball a whole lot more in '02.

[Specklebelly]

1. Sealy during their title run. I'd say 1995 was their best year.
2. 1984 - Medina Valley
3. 1987 I believe is the year - Cuero
