Vernon is West Texas by the way.

thats true...but wasnt this already common knowledge ??

My mistake. I was putting this together late last night. Vernon is basically in Oklahoma (just kidding!). Okay, with Vernon, the totals come out to 5 appearances and 1 championship.

Southlake Carroll is also a Region I school. Or they were at the time, because Vernon played them for the regional championship several years running. I wouldn't call them West Texas, but they are in Region I. I could probably go through the list and count out all the schools that are not true East Texas and I'm sure I would find plenty of them too.

Maybe someone who has more time than I do can do it. Or at least break it down by region. It is interesting though. I had no idea about all the great Cuero teams in the past.

Good list.....I think it's time for the statistics to change!!

GO SNYDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO ABILENE WYLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you're right, they were region I and theres no way they're considered west texas, they're way too close to the dfw metroplex for that....

Aledo's not East Texas. Closer to North Central than anything else.

[sundevil]

I did not count Aledo as an east Texas or a West Texas team.

I beleive that Aledo was in region I in 2001. It was either them or Commerce. Same colors and I can't recall. I know Vernon kcocked them out in the area round that year.

Must have been Aledo, as I now see Commerce won it that year.
