How many 3A teams have you seen play?

[xlr8tor]

Just curious as to how many teams some of you posters have seen in action. I have seen 25 on the 3A level. Also what was the most memorable? Mine? One of two. Either traveling over 400 miles from west Texas to catch the last district game in which I could personally witness the speed of DaBryan Blanton of Forney a couple of years ago, or last years Sweetwater - Greenwood game at Lowery. It was a good one. Carillo like Blanton, was something to behold. Audus was something too! Just my take!

[Ranger Mom]

Hi xlr8tor,

This is Ranger Fan from FNH!! Glad to see ya on here!! This board moves so much faster than FNH!

I will have to count the teams, so I will post mine later.

[xlr8tor]

Thanks for the welcom Ranger mom. Oh, and by the way, my granny moves faster than FNH. Just my take.

[Ranger Mom]

LOL!! I hear that!!

I usually wait several post before I give someone a rating, but since I already know you, I have hooked you up with 5 stars.

Downlow family, this is a great person who I've talked to on another board for the past couple of years and who has just moved into a 3-A district!

[Old Green]

And, in a few weeks, I'll be able to add La Vernia to the list.

[Old Cardinal]

Going back through 45 years of football, I have seen about 55 teams, in 3A football games. Many of them today are 4As or consolidated into other programs.

[District303aPastPlayer]

I have seen about 40 teams play, and played against them. I have also seen about 20-40 4a and 5a teams. I swear, living in San Antonio was GREAT for football. There were at least 4 games on thurs, 4 on fri, and 4 on sat...

Hey Keith! Look at all these posts. Not one single poster will admit to watching Gainsville play. :D :D :D

[Old Green]

Sinton66, I watched Gainesville once 30 years ago. They got spanked in the state championship.

[intocable_cowboy]

I've seen 14 teams, I always love when we (Cotulla :D ) beat our rival Pearsall :mad: . But the most memorable was my freshman year when went to the playoffs for the first time in like forty years, back in '97, we played Goliad and lost, but it was a lot of fun.
