Interesting stat request

[Mustangpride09]

Anyone know if a team has ever lost to a team a classification lower than them and still won state? EXAMPLE: A 3A team losing to a 2A team. Has this ever been done?

I think mart beat a team in 3a that went to state or the game before state then won state in 2a.

I found 4 right off the bat and there are probably more...

1989 3A Gladewater beat eventual 4A State Champ Tyler Chapel Hill 13-12 in the first game of the season

1991 2A Mart beat eventual 3A State Champ Groesbeck 18-14 in the first game of the season

1997 4A Grapevine beat eventual 5A Div II Champ Flower Mound Marcus 27-26 in the 3rd game of the season

1999 4A Highland Park beat eventual 5A Div II Champ Garland 20-18 in the first game of the season
