Thanks for the clips and walk back into memory lane, Tejas. I'm pulling for you guys to go deep this season......it could be magical, huh?
Yesterdays are gone forever and tomorrows may never happen, but today you have the opportunity to make a difference.
Thanks all.
I watched the video for the first time right before posting. Man I was pumped. Also I figured WOS87 would enjoy some of the footage.

As a fan of one of those playoff opponents (WO-S), it was painful to watch this again. In all my years of following my school's football program, I never saw a game where our defense was pushed around like that. It's the only time in school history that we've allowed more than 50 points in a single contest (even though 14 of them were defensive scores, but still...). That Wimberley team was a fine tuned machine. Many strengths to point out - excellent O-line, an a-BUSE-ive tailback, good team defense, caused lots of turnovers, and an outstanding kicker "to boot." I was at that game and what I remember most that impressed me was 1) the play of the offensive line; 2) Buse's tackle breaking ability; and 3) the defense always seemed to be in the right position for nearly every play. We got out-coached and out-hustled in that game. The Texans earned that victory and they were the best in 2005.
I somehow found this a couple of weeks ago when Coach Pierce posted it. FWIW, Coach Pierce was my daughter's favorite teacher in 8th (9th?) grade. She came home every day talking about how much she enjoyed his class.
Having said that, my two favorite parts of that season were from the West Columbia game. They had lost 1 game all season and that was to 4A Jaquizz Rogers' team. And we beat them 62-7.
1. Skip to 13:59 to see our first play of the game, where we ran a play that we hadn't run all season. And it went for a TD because our left WR Colin Marburger hustled his butt off to block the safety that had an angle to make the tackle.
2. Skip to 14:40. That was a 4th-18 or something like that play and they tried a trick formation. None of our guys were fooled. Garrett Stephens (?) who led the state in INTs was there to make the pick (even though I was screaming "LET IT DROP") and there were three WC players in position to tackle him. Every one of them got de-cleated. Watching the defense converting to blockers is just amazing. Absurd, even.
I remember telling my wife at halftime that in my entire life, in any sport at any level, I had never seen a team that I was rooting for play more flawlessly. And they kept doing that.
Hondo didn't have a chance the next week. WOS didn't have a chance after that. And neither did Gainesville.
Our 2011 team was great, but that 2005 team just got on a roll where they played nearly perfect every game.

In the statesman question to ponder, "is Jordan Weeks the best quarterback in central Texas"? I don't really know this, but IMO he has the strongest arm for a Wimberley qb since I've been following them. His distance and accuracy is very good but what really amazes me is his bubble screen throws....fast, flat and on a wire. Essential for that particular play. He's come a long way over the last couple of years.
If I recall, JJ was not the full time starter until week 4 maybe? I know I was a bit critical last year about the Giddings game when I felt the leadership was lacking from both QBs. The game was there for the taking. He has come a long way.
