Alvin Shadow Creek

When’s the last time a team played for state in their first year of varsity football....?

[Old Green]

I read somewhere Lubbock Estacado Did back in 1968 in their 1st year and won.

[Saggy Aggie]

According to Matt, the last team to win state their first year was Beaumont west brook in 1982. Only 2 teams have ever done it. Guessing the other was Estacado like you mentioned

Correct

Correct

I think Westbrook was the result of combining 2 Beaumont schools. Also they started the year 0-5, then won 10 straight.

Not quite correct...West Brook started 0-2, then won 3 straight then lost 2 of their next 3 before the run to the title

Shadow creek inherited a bunch of Manvels players

They got a bunch of players that would have gone to Manvel....I believe only the seniors that are at Shadow Creek spent their freshman year at Manvel

West Brook was the result of a merger... Beaumont Hebert (which had recently won a title in 1976) and Beaumont Forest Park so had a full class of experienced juniors and seniors. Lubbock Estacado was the first and only school so far to win as a brand new school that wasn't a merger. They won 24 consecutive games from 1968-1969 finally losing to Brownwood in the 1969 playoffs. Hamshire-Fannett also went undefeated in their first varsity season in 1961 (12-0) BUT they weren't in a high enough classification to compete for a state title only winning a regional championship AND they were also the result of a merger.

Alvin ISD has plans for a 4th high school. Will be located right off of 288 in Iowa Colony, they hope to have it open by 2022.

I don’t really understand why it’s called Alvin Shadow Creek... it’s really not even close to Alvin.

Don’t think the new HS will affect success of shadow creek either

[Saggy Aggie]

It's within the Alvin ISD attendance zone. Have to think back or imagine to a time before the area was developed and was rural. Kids in that rural area were zone to Alvin ISD. I believe the schools physical address is in Pearland.

Yeah... but they don’t call manvel high school (also in Alvin ISD) Alvin manvel....

Probably because one is a school named after it's community and the other is just a school name.

And I can't really call it "Pearland Shadow Creek" because that would really confuse folks

If they win,they may have heck of a time deciding which water tower to paint and where to put the "City of Champions" signs. May not get resolved before the start of 7 on 7.
