    So odd seeing some current big schools like Cedar Hill, Aledo, etc. in 1A.

    Also current largest 6A school in the RGV, Los Fresnos, in 2A with current 4AD2 Port Isabel.
    District 7-3A
    Henderson
    Nacogdoches
    Center
    Kilgore
    Carthage
    Jacksonville
    Longview Womack
    Longview Pine Tree
    Sulphur Springs
    Texarkana Dunbar
    Texarkana Liberty-Eylau
    Gilmer
    Mount Pleasant

    Gilmer went into the North Zone of this district and never won much (some seasons we only won one game) for the next 12 years. Finally, we dropped down to begin the 1980s and then made it to state in 1981 where we lost at Baylor Stadium to Cameron Yoe.

    Wharton was in a zone way back when but I forgot the other teams with them (Maybe El Campo and Bay City and Brazosport)

    This was during my senior year @ Gonzales. We had some strange teams in our district. I met some folks from Laredo United the next year @ SWT and they were Class B. Now they have 4 large 6A schools. Lots of changes.

    This was also the last alignment where Class B was unable to play to a State Championship

    Matt, Where did you get the Class B alignment. Class B was never in Texas Football. Just checked out my old copies and couldn't find any Class B's until 1980 when Class 5A was added and Class B became Class A. Also Class B was any school under 125: 11-man, 8-man and 6-man leagues. Really great work. Well done.

    Arges, how about sending a pm. Obviously I am from Gonzales too. played on the '63 team. 11-0-1. Tied PSJA but lost on first downs. Horrible way to go down. I remember those Refuge games too.

    Did 2 teams make the playoffs in the early 60's? Sinton went unbeaten in district in 1960, 1962 and 1963. They lost to Refugio and Bishop in district in 1961 finishing 8-2 for season with no playoffs. 1962 Sinton loss in state semi's to Rockdale and in 1963 in region final to Fort Bend Dulles. Was Gonzales in same Division?

    Gonzales moved up to 3A in 1962. Refugio and Sinton joined District 14-AAA in 1966.
