What year did you see your first 3A football game?

[kepdawg]

I saw my first 3A football game in 1992.

[GreenGobbla]

i dont remember it, but i know it was '89 or '90 i was like 2 or 3

[44INAROW]

Most likely 1965 or 1966. That would have been in the "old tin box" stadium in Cuero. The current stadium was built in 1967 or 68 (I think)

[j_dog]

1959. :D Almost 50 years ago. That means I am now 49. :D

Jasper vs. Crockett. Jasper won 21-0. :)

I ain't sure.......sometime in the early to mid '60s when I was too young to remember. I actually don't remember any games until around '70 or so, but I know I went to some Buckeye games at an early age. Come to think of it, they were playing in what is 4A now, against teams such as Sulphur Springs, Mt.Pleasant, and Pine Tree. So, I guess the first 3A game by today's numbers I remember watching was in 1980, when they added a classification and Gilmer stayed 3A, the year after I graduated.

[CenTexSports]

Brewer High School probably around 1960.

[Txbroadcaster]

1986, followed Jefferson as they won state

[Maroon87]

1974...Calallen vs. somebody.

[maroonpirate04]

Sometime in the early 80's when i would go with my mom to see my older sister march in the Pirate band, mainly the home games out of town games we would go pick her up around 11 or 12 depending the buses would arrive at the school everyone at the band hall knew me and would tell me your sister is in there getting her stuff. :) great memories. But at that time Sinton was in 4A ever since then i've been following the Pirates

[coachc45]

1968...... was born in march and dad took me to almost every game daingerfield played that year in 2A, now 3A. Including the State Game in a driving rain storm. We watched from under the bleachers.

That didn't happen a whole lot back then...

[garciap77]

1997!

[big daddy russ]

Sometime in the early-80's. Probably around '82 or '83.

[PHS Wildcats]

2004:clap:

[STANG RED]

Cant say for sure, but I'd guess around 65 or 66.
The first game I can remember seeing was Class B Roby vs. Jayton in 66 I think. Seems like Jayton won in a close game.

[sinton66]

1954 for me.

[cshscougar08]

Well if we're talking Texas 3A then 2004, but if it's overall, 1997. South Carolina 3A

Well I don't know which game you "watched" in 1963 when you were only four years old, but I can guarantee you that Jasper lost the game. :mad: ;)

older than dirt. :(

[Nursebetty]

My first 3A...probably in the early to mid 80's. Started out as a tyke watching 2A.......for the longest until we moved. We then went to most of the GOBBLER games. And especially all those heart pounding playoff games the GOBBLERS were in back in those days! (and they haven't stopped yet!) Yeah!

[Ranger Mom]

Watched 2A all through high school and didn't go to another football game until 1995 when I met my husband!

[formermbcouns]

1999...

Marlin played Robinson at Baylor Stadium in the 3A quarterfinals. Robinson won in overtime...great game, even though I was for Marlin.

Did anyone else here see the game?

More than you would think.

Granted, Calallen wasn't the powerhouse they are now. But they put together some good seasons in the Mid-70's. The reason no one remembers is because only one team went to the playoffs(G-P) and the rest stayed home.

1974.......6-4 (Teddy Gray)
1975.......8-1-1(Gray)
1976.......7-3(Bobby Davis, Alice coach Brent Davis' dad)
1977.......6-2-2(Davis)

That's 27-10-3 over a 4 year span. Not too shabby:)

I'll have you know my rattle had a bulldog on it:p

As a teen, my kid said that is is all downhill after you turn 25, and I have never let him forget saying that now that he is 35. :D

[Buckeye1980]

Mid 70's, watched my cousin play for Gladewater against Dekalb in the playoffs. I watched Gilmer play way before that and we were 3A but that is what id not 4A. I remember old District 7-AAA

Gilmer
Mt. Pleasant
Sulphur Springs
Jefferson
Liberty Eyleau
Atlanta
Daingerfield
Clarksville

[gobbler grad]
