[maroonpirate04]

In 2005 these kids playing football were not even born yet. Well let's turn back the clock to 1985 Class 3A State Playoffs where there was only one Divison. Alot has changed since then the music, movies, I was a Freshmen at Sinton High, Reagan was in office but one thing that hasn't changed is some of these teams were in Class 3A and advanced to the playoffs, like today. The Sinton Pirates were only in their second year in Class 3A after dropping from Class 4A. And has been in in 3A since then. Here are the teams who made the playoffs in '85. In the Bi-District round

Perryton beat Tulia (now 2A) 34-7
Iowa Park tied Graham 34-34 (IP advances)
