This makes 4 out of the 6 programs in the new 2-3A that I've managed to research back 80 years or more....
Breckenridge really does have one of the most amazing histories in all of Texas high school football history.
They ended 61 out of 87 seasons with a winning record
They've maintained an all-time winning percentage of over 60% for over 80 years now
The have the 8th most playoff appearances in the state with 38
They were only the 3rd program ever to win 6 State Titles after Waco and Abilene
They have advanced to the state quarterfinals 18 times
They have had fifteen 10-win seasons
And what I believe still stands as a one-of-a-kind achievement, they still are the only team to beat an eventual state champ in the largest classification while competing in a lower classification, and they did it twice! In both 1954 and 1958 3A Breckenridge could lay strong claims as being the best team in the state despite being in a smaller classification since they won the 3A Championship both years AND beat eventual 4A Champ Abilene in 1954 and eventual 4A Champ Wichita Falls in 1958.
