Most Dissapointing Loss Ever

[Necks_Fan]

1989 Semi's


Mexia 7
Needville 6


From what I read, both teams were STACKED. Needville lead the entire game 6-0. They had an all state kicker, if I'm not mistaken who missed 2 FG's and an EP. They lead in penetrations, total offense, first downs, ---- basically every category.


Mexia would go on to score a touchdown on a busted play where the DT hit the RB at the time of the handoff. The qb kept the ball, rolled out and scored. The Jays left this game 1 point short of a state championship. From what I hear, Needville SHOULD have won this game, but they left it on the field and Mexia went on to win the title the next game I believe.

Needville was better than Mexia. They won the semi's and state games by 1 point each.

Here is a great question... I love this...You ready?

Does the best team always win?

[WOS87]

For WOS this is an easy one as well..

1988 4A State Finals

#4 ranked WO-S 13
Unranked Paris 31

Broke a 15 game playoff game winning streak and prevented 3 consecutive state titles.

This coming after beating the #2 ranked team in the state the week before in Kerrville Tivy and going in to the game as HEAVY favorites

[Ranger Mom]

Mine would have to be the Greenwood defeat in the their one and only state title game appearance in 2002 to Bandera in double overtime!!

[NastySlot]

i believe paris went on to win the state title in baseball that year also.

[LH Panther Mom]

2002 Liberty Hill vs Yoakum, Area :(

[Antec]

I was at the game

Jays had chances to win

If I'mnot mistaken Wade Bosse was their QB

He's assistant coach at East Bernard now along with Mike Merritt

[DU_stud04]

i really wanted gum this one time, i had a quarter and was going to the gum ball machine, i dropped the coin and it fell in a grate..... i never got my gum. i consider this a loss and weep about it ever year on the day it happened. i will never forget the 12th of October :(

I know a guy who saw that Mexia team several times that year. He said Mexia had one of the best 3A defenses he had ever watched. He said it was as good as the one Gatesville had when they won their state title in 2000 (They gave up 95 points for the season and 24 came against Robinson in a rematch of a regular season game) and that's pretty high praise because that defense was just ridiculously good. Comparing them favorably to Gatesville's 2000 team means to me that Mexia had one heck of a team back in 89.

As our safety came up, unblocked, an official who was trying to get out of the way rolled to the side and ran square into our safety, knocking him aside as the Mexia fullback ran 65 yards down the middle of the field to make it 21-14. With less than 2 minutes to play, Mexia scored and went for 2 out of the swinging gate formation. They completed a pass to the back of the endzone for a 22-21 upset victory over #1 ranked Vernon

That team had a ton of talent.


Holcombe
W. Stapleton
W Wilkerson
Bosse
Lott
R Davis
Kirkendahl Sp.
Slavinski


I think Mexia had an all state LB as well.

They held Needville to only 6 points after they had dominated offensively m ost of their opponents, with the exception of maybe bishop, and Sweeny in the reg season. Willy Wilkerson had amazing speed. (Uncle of Ex- Needville RB Thadeus Wilkerson)

I think Mexia had an all state LB as well. Actually, I forgot. Wade Bosse was the QB in 88. He graduated. The Qb when Needville made their push in 89 was Larry Springer.

Robinson tied TLE at the end of the game. The Robinson coach asked the kids if they wanted to try for the tie or go for the win, and they opted to go for the win. However, they tried a fake extra point attempt and got stopped cold.

it sucked all right. Mexia had these plain white ugly uniforms with black numbers and a black cat on the helmet. I've been creeped out by black cats ever since.

[gato 76]

2004 State Championship Game..........Baylor (i believe)........Cuero -V- Abiliene Wylie. Abiliene kicked a last minute field goal with 3 sec. (approx.) left in the game and won. Talk about a heartbreak! :bigcry:

Not so much the play calling that night as other factors. :dispntd:

1988 Marshall vs Dallas Carter Quarterfinal

Marshall was 12-0 ranked in top 10 in nation..Carter was 12-0 ranked top ten in nation

It was one of those classic games, back and forth..Marshall moved the ball well agianst the vaunted Carter D..Carter's O was not really spectacular..but effective...

Marshall was up when Carter scores a TD with less than 30 seconds left and wins the game 22-18

[Rocket Dad]

Robinson vs. LE - 2006
LE wins 35-34
Rockets have over 500 yards of offense - LE had in the 270's
Rockets have 26 first downs to LE's 12
LE scores 3 times with their defense

[sinfan75]

1990- State semi-finals

Mine would be the loss to Daingerfield in the same 2002 playoffs. Last drive of the game we score a TD, extra point to tie to force overtime, missed PAT. DF wins. Then, DF goes on to get beat by Greenwood.:) :clap:


Good luck to all this year!

[BwdLions]

My all time most dissapointing loss had to be my last game. We lost to Gainsville in the 3rd round of the 4A playoffs in Amon Carter Stadium. We had a TD called back because the refs said we had a lineman downfield. If a lineman would have actually been over the LOS it would have been dissapointing enough, but the film didn't show it. We had started the year as the #1 team in 4A too.

Butt kickings aren't usually disappointing, those are easier to take when you know the other team was just better.

For Vernon I'd think it was the loss to SLC in that famous game at pennington in 1993 I think...what a game

For me it was Everman-Hebron in the 2005 Round of 16 at Texas Stadium...Hebron went up 19-8 in the first half but we scored two defensive touchdowns to take a 23-19 lead despite being without QB Maurice Moore who is now at Wisconsin for the 2nd and 3rd qtrs..

Hebron scored to make it 26-23 early in the 4th..with Moore back in the game EHS made a late drive to possibly kick a tying FG but Moore threw an INT into the end zone and the game ended...Hebron rolled to a state championship that year which Everman could have easily won

I think the fact that two top 10 teams were playing in the 1st round was what was disapointing

2004 Rockdale/Bellville at Viking Stadium in Bryan, TX.

24-21 Score....

with about 3 minutes left we force a 3 and out.

so we have a 40 yard drive and are at the 25 or so. During that drive we were just pounding the ball on the ground averaging about 7 or 8 yards a carry then our bright coach decides to call a dumbass pass play with 2 minutes left and it's intercepted on the 2 yard line.....sad and pathetic

[coach]

thats what happened to fairfield a couple years before that but we were on the 4 yrd line with the two lightsey brothers and we call a plass play and is intercepted in the end zone

As I mentioned earlier, after that "plass" play I've had nightmares.

Those two lost fumbles didn't help either ...

[JR2004]

Well we don't have too much playoff experience over the past three decades of UIL competition so I can only come up with two losses that were disappointing and one is a regular season game.

2004: We lost 21-20 to Lincoln in the South Dallas Super Bowl. The year before Lincoln beat us 69-0 and we had the lead almost the entire game in 2004 before losing it late. That Lincoln team went on to lose in the 4A state title game in OT to Kilgore.

2005: The loss to Tatum in the regional-semis 28-19. Really the only playoff loss we've had that could be categorized as a disappointment. Our offense handed that game away. I think we had 7 turnovers and most were just ridiculous. We actually pulled our QB from the game and just started running some direct snaps to McNeal to stop the parade of INT's. Our defense played probably its best game of the season and held the state champions to 164 yards (Only 14 yards were gained by someone not named Lennon Creer).

It was 21-13 with around 3 minutes left when we hit a hook and ladder for a 70 yard TD. The 2 point failed as did the onside kick. We brought the house on the next play to try to force a TO, but Creer got through the line and scored to put the game away. That was probably the best team we've ever had since joining the UIL in 1976 and will probably remain the team that had the best shot at a state title for many, many years to come.
