No disrespect intended, but I would not put the '06 Giddings team on that list. They were good, but not state championship material.

Give it time.

For all of their offensive firepower and their DI signees, they didn't have the defense to win it all.

I strongly disagree, '06 team was loaded and peaking with mature talent on both sides of the ball. Same guys in 05 with a few seniors, but most of key players were still young in '05.

If '05 or '06 would have run the offense a little more diverse like the '07 team, they would have both been tougher to beat than they were. And they were tough to beat as it was.

IMO though the '06 team was maximizing the maturity at the key positions. All the team leaders were jrs and seniors. Where as '05 you had a lot of sophmores and juniors leading the team with a few key seniors contributing.

Pass defense was the biggest weakness of that team.

Maybe so, but I think Burnet was better than both. The two turnovers they had against Gainesville is what ultimately decided the game. I know turnovers are part of the game, but all things equal, Burnet was arguably the best team in the state that year. Burnet's second turnover of the game came with the Bulldogs trailing 28-24 and driving deep into Gainesville territory with close to a minute left in the game. That fumble sealed the win for Gainesville, who ripped off an 85 yard or so TD run against a dejected Burnet defense. Without the turnovers, Burnet probably has 10-14 more points and Gainesville ends with 28.

The 2002 Burnet team was probably the better of the two state finalist teams, as they had a stronger offensive line, an outstanding RB, and a better compliment of receivers working alongside Shipley, including a 6-7 TE that went on to play at Arkansas. They just suffered from bad luck late in the playoffs. Burnet was able to get by Jasper, because Jasper didn't know the extent of McGee's injured knee. With Everman knowing that McGee had virtually zero mobility, they just sat in a zone and went after him all game. Coupled with Shipley's injured toe, the Burnet offense was pretty much ineffective. I really would have liked to have seen a healthy Burnet team play that Everman team. I think it would have been one hell of a game.

'04 Liberty Hill was inches away from scoring on Jasper as time ran out. It would have set up a potentail game-tying 2-pt conversion. Had it gone to overtime, LH likely would have won, as we had worn down Jasper in the second half after they owned the first. The play that decided it was the second to last play, when our QB carried the ball down to the five and Jasper committed a face masking penalty. Our QB instinctively signaled timeout, which we didn't need to use because of the penalty. So not wanting to use the timeout, we huddled. After the refs marked off the penalty, they gave us the timeout anyone. It was our last timeout, and after getting to within inches of the goalline, we couldn't stop the clock to run another play...

Bandera probably wouldn't have gotten past Rice Consolidated if Rice's RB hadn't gotten hurt on the first play of the game, which turned out not to even be a play. There was a false start, but the whistle wasn't heard and the Bandera defender tackled the RB low, injuring his knee. The kid tried to return, but only had a few ineffective carries. Had he not gotten hurt, they may have been able to outscore Bandera, because Rice wasn't going to stop Bandera. They wanted no part of Heap. I think they had some guys on defense getting out of his way when he ran the ball.

Well if it was for the lucky trick play at the beginning it might of been an even bigger blow out

I remember looking across the field and seeing that big sign....."A Heap of trouble".....he was fun to watch!!

[Old Dog]

Panther One's comments are appreciated, but the old scoreboard is what counts..............and we didn't qet there. Burnet spent the first 70 years of football without even getting out of bi-district, so those state runs in '91, '02 and '03' were just wonderful experiences never to be forgotten. Personally my hat is off to several teams in the new 8-3A district for their success at the state level (Liberty Hill, Wimberley and Bandera).

That's true. The defense never jelled for some reason. They had the talent, just never came together defensively.

On a side note, they probably were the best team to never win a playoff game.:dispntd:

Evans made no difference at all in the playoff matchup. After we discovered during the fourth quarter of the opening round game vs. Rice consolidated that we didn't need to throw the ball at all we were unstoppable on offense.

That Hutto team was one of the greats to not finish the job.

'06 Hondo Owls

14-1 beat defending state champ Wimberley, only loss to eventual state champ LH

[bandera7]

No offense at all meant to hondo, you guys play hard every down, the way the boys come out is really something special, but I dont think talent wise you were anywhere near some of the teams we are talking about. Hondo was playing on emotion and heart. Some of the teams we are talking about, i.e. Gilmer '06, Greenwood '02, had too much man power, very similar to what Hondo experienced when they met Liberty Hill that year.

Not being a homer but our 89 team went 10-0 . lost in the first round to navasota.they had a qb name Kevin baker that ran the option like Tommie Frazier..

90- sealy team..we beat them 42-14..they was ranked 2nd or 3rd in state.

89- Navasota Rattlers...

I could think of a few better Cuero years that could be added to the list.. 2003 isn't one of them. the fall of 2003 Cuero lost to Wharton with a blocked field goal at the end of the game in the 1st round of the playoffs. Wharton went on to face Burnet and was beat badly. Cuero, I'm afraid, would have had the same result against Burnet.

However, the 93 and 94 gobbler teams were amazing. So amazing that in 94 they didn't show up mentally to the game against Port Isabel. thus, the famous loss by penetrations.


The 05 team that lost to Hutto would also be a good candidate.

1993 Vernon Lions lost 39 - 35 to Southlake Carroll at Pennington. The teams were ranked 1 and 2 and were both were widely considered to be better than anyone at the 4A level. Both teams were routing people week in and week out. Vernon's 250 lb tailback (Dexter Butler), who was also the 100 meter district champion and 5th place finisher in the shot put, rushed for 288 yards vs. SLC. The Dallas Morning News recently listed it as one of the top high school games in Texas history. Earlier in the year, Vernon hammered Zac Thomas and 4a Pampa as Butler ran wild.

1996 Navasota. 12-0 before running into LaMarque. LaMarque had Dwaine Goynes and Jaron Reed in the backfield that year, both went on to be DI runners/receivers. We had Jermaine Henderson at WR, Roderick Wilson at QB, and a tandem of Willie Williams and Chris Thomas at TB, who both had over 1000 rushing that year. Defense was stout, with shutouts at Magnolia, Conroe Oak Ridge, and Montgomery, and less than 10 points against New Caney (Adam Dunn QB) and Madisonville (Chris Taylor QB). But probably my favorite game of the year was in Waller. We came away with a last minute 20-19 win against a Bulldog team that went four rounds in the playoffs. From the angle I was at, I thought the field goal with time expiring was gonna make it of the Bulldog kicker's leg, but alas, it was short!

Also met Chapel Hill and Jasper at Buddy Morehead in Conroe that year in the playoffs, both of which are now 3As. Funny trivia here:

Four of the teams we beat pretty handily that year were big 4As, and are now 5As. But the playoff teams we beat are both now 3As along with us! And Jasper was pretty dang good that year! And LaMarque isn't too far above the cutoff line as we speak:thinking:

[WOS1]

Homer pick, but I have to put the 05 WOS team in there. Lost in the semi-final to State Champ Wimberley. That team had both Earl Thomas as well as Kenneth Beasley, both of whom will likely be starting this year in the UT defensive backfield.

"that was in 06, in 05 spacek was still the quarterback that year, brock was only a freshman"

The football season is still the year before they graduate...Brock was the QB in 05-07

Giddings 99 (Cuero) and 01 (La Grange)

[buff4life]

solid point solid point...

your right then the 06 team was the best

So amazing that in 94 they didn't show up mentally to the game against Port Isabel. thus, the famous loss by penetrations.




In the 14 years since that game, I don't think I've seen or heard one person outside of the RGV gives Port Isabel any credit for what they did that night. It's all about what Cuero "didn't do". People forget that PI was 12-0 going into that game. What most don't know is that PI's coaching staff had been scouting Cuero since mid-season in anticipation of a 3rd round matchup. There was nothing that the Gobblers did that night that PI had not seen already and were prepared for.

That being said, im gonna go with the '03 Burnet team. I watched them stomp Wharton the week after Wharton beat us. I think if we had had to play Burnet, we would have gotten stomped just as hard. I didn't think there was any way that team was going to lose a game that year.

Ouch, how did I forget the 04 state run.. I apologize for being incompetent.

[WOS1]

In 2005, WOS beat Giddings 42-21 in the third round and Fitzhenry was the QB. He was a Sophomore.

[buff4life]

06 was probably the best team, followed by this years

[Buffgal]

The best team was the team that played in the second half against LH in 2006 (all heart, credit goes to Dock/Locke, they led the team in every way)

07 team was the best defense in a long long time. Mix in a few passing plays to get the opposing 11 man defense off the line , who could even imagine what might have happened...

Seems like we just keep wishing, last time was 1951.......I see a good team this year, not great, certainly no superstars, but all they need to do is believe. Sometimes a bunch of kids working hard together is better than one or two really really good players. Might happen, I'll be watching for sure.

You bet it can.WO-S was picked to finish fourth in thier district
in 2000 ( 4A ).Went on to post a 15-1 record losing to Ennis in the finals.I know the odds are against teams but it dose happen from time to time and what a ride those times are.:D

[mustang04]

i dont mean to be a homer...but 02 sweetwater mustangs:( :(

and the next season, before injuries plagued us along with a couple of players getting booted...we would have gone a lot further:(

[bulldog64]

06 Hondo did make a good run. But as far as "team" goes, their team had a #25 on his back. Tailback, Fullback, Kicker,Punter, Kick Returner,Punt Returner,Middle Linebacker. Only thing he didn`t do was have a headset on on the sidelines. Good team, not state title material. Takes a team to win a State title. They had a heck of a run, just ran into a better "team".

Good point, I think I even read one article that says, the coaches and the boys were already talking about that matchup on the bus ON THE WAY HOME, even after the whooping that had just been handed to them.

heehee I found it... ;) scroll down to "PLANNING A REMATCH"
