Is summer creek down near brownsville?

[sidis 9,832]

This shit is not fair. Just run a continuous clock.

Did ut offer singelton ?

[Helobious 9,466]

That Desoto QB can throw some fucking ropes

[tx 3 putt 77,494]

Summet Creek played at UT

very cool

[Helobious 9,466]

So out of 12 state title games I think 3 were competitive.

PNG SOC has to be the game of the week.  Malakoff and Franklin was really good too.

Yep. Was a big dud.

[tx 3 putt 77,494]

Claude Mathis was a beast in college

[Vic Mackey 47,159]

Desoto could just punt on the first play of every possession and still easily win this game.

Gilmer and Belleville was a good game 

[Lonestar88 4,700]

This is a referendum on regions 3 and 4 in 6AD2. This has been DeSoto’s easiest game all postseason.

[Beau Vine 54,458]

I think the Claude Mathis Effect might be dead.

Also, How were you able to run so well?

"We saw it on video" was a savage answer.

Damn! Desoto in a nail biter.

[tx 3 putt 77,494]

Going for a block punt was bs by desoto

 

[Helobious 9,466]

Went 6-6 in my picks this year. That’s called progress.

[mininghorn88 2,298]

8 of the 9 winning teams were all on the North side of the stadium. Only losing team on that side is/was Summer Creek.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday games

3-9 my ass. It’s fucking redemption season. 
 

1A D2: Benjamin

1A D1: Gordon

2A D2: Mart

2A D1: Timpson

3A D2: Tidehaven. South Texas pride 

3A D1: Malakoff

4A D2: Gilmer

4A D1: Tyler Chapel Hill

5A D2: PNG gets revenge

5A D1: Aledo

6A D2: Summer Creek with one of the biggest  state title upsets ever. They’ve had a sneaky great season, and when Claude Mathis is on the opposing sideline you’ve always got a chance to win. 
 

6A D1: lol. Duncanville by however many points they feel like

Helo, you went 8-4.

[Scholz 11,965]

Does Desoto try to add to their 60 pts?

[sidis 9,832]

Helo, you went 8-4.

I think calling for an upset in which the team you picked is losing by 53 points in the third equals multiple losses. 

[Scholz 11,965]

Dude Desoto are some assholes. Still throwing deep and multiple jailbreak punt blocks when up 50+. And a lateral to score. Guess they’re trying to break the records. 

[Beau Vine 54,458]

Pretty sure someone has scored 70 in a championship game, Craig.

Well I’ll be damned! I can’t count at all. 

[UTexasFight 9,541]

I hope Desoto D is running bleachers after this game for not getting the shutout 

[UTexasFight 9,541]

SOC game they were saying 19 teams have 3-peats.

did they show the list?

Would be a good trivia question.

off the top of my head without giving it any thought I got the following. I have no idea if they are all right. I haven’t focused on HS football in ~20 years. I probably could have gotten 60-70% back then. I know there is a lot of low hanging fruit I’m missing

Spoiler

Daingerfield

Celina

Aledo

Southlake Carroll

Lake Travis

Westlake

Stephenville

Mart

Highland Park

 

edit: Stephenville never did it

Yep. That’s low hanging fruit I knew I was missing that happened in my formative years and was well aware of them dominating (at the time 3A) as my school was the same classification.

 

also forgot about La Marque

Really?

that doesn’t seem right

there have to be way more than 20 schools with 3 or more state championships 

Spoiler

Edit: yeah there are waaay more than 20 with at least 3 championships.

there are 20 with 6 or more. Plus however many more have 3, 4, or 5:

Final for anyone who still cares about this terrible game: DeSoto 74 Summer Creek 14.

 

Some interesting notes in an uninteresting game:

DeSoto has a freshman WR who caught a TD and he was wearing a Texas Longhorn bandana. Maybe something to keep an eye on down the road.

Tre Wisner’s little brother blocked two punts.
 

That’s all I got.

My issue with it and so many of these calls in football and basketball, the foul or flag was only called after the ref looked at the result of the play. See it in basketball all the time. They see a foul but want to see if the player will make the basket. They don't and then call the foul way late.

Ref didn't take the flag out until the ball hit the ground and play was all over. Guarantee he doesn't throw it if he catches it.
 

watch again…ref WAS reaching for his flag but couldn’t get it out.  

ball in the air.  DPI…clearly.  he made exact the right call.

I know that. I am saying that 8 of the 9 winning schools shared the same sideline/side of the field IN AT&T Stadium.

PNG travels in huge numbers.  They filled up their side of the Astrodome, icluding all the way up to the rainbows,  for the state final against Stephenville with Briles and little rape fingers Briles.

It looked like it too.  PNG travels well and it helped them even more having their game on Saturday helped push their numbers higher.   
 

The fans that get the shaft are the lower classifications which many of the schools in those classes that make it don’t sit within a couple of hours from Jerryworld.   Those fan bases in some cases don’t have the resources to pay for $30 parking on top of all the other costs to get there if they can get there.   Small town folks just can’t take off work on a whim too on short notice   
 

This whole concept needs to be reevaluated.   UIL is supposed to provide as neutral as possible venues for their championships and not fleece the very taxpayers who fund the organization.

Well a lot of it is there and then some of it....magically ends up there.

[BurntOrange&White 40,039]

To me it was the small schools having not as many fans. And if you look at the small school teams it makes sense.
