What up Texas?

Recommended Posts

@Horsefly @Texasball  Always wanted to see these guys and found the full banana.  Are they the best ever?  85 Yates legendary in Texas. The fact they played MOJO has to be the cherry on top. Yates was huge in 1985.  Damn they were huge. 

Texas Throwback.  I will post the Goats for the rest of the Week.  Broken up in Parts but the best video I could find. 

NOTABLE

1 First Class 5A team to win 16 games in a season

1 First team from a predominantly black high school to win a UIL Class 5A title

1 First HISD team to win the state's largest classification since Lamar in 1953

1 Biggest championship-game margin of victory since 1958 and largest title-game shutout since 1934.

1 Set Class 5A records for most points in a full-season (659), regular season (452) and the playoffs.

West Orange Stark dropped to 4A the next year and won 2 straight with a loaded team including 3 time SB Cowboy Cornerback Kevin Smith

https://www.wacotrib.com/sports/high_schools/central_texas_football/hall-of-fame-profile-smith-led-rise-of-west-orange/article_adf6f38f-41a4-5173-85ac-75ec4d98a275.html

Smith came through the West Orange-Stark program at just the right time. The Mustangs went 18-4-1 over the 1984 and ’85 seasons at the 5A level, so when then they dropped to 4A with a loaded team in time for the 1986 season, many pegged them as a potential championship contender.

They were right. After two early-season losses, West Orange-Stark won eight games in a row for the program’s first state title and finished the season 13-2.

“We had some great guys on that team,” Smith said. “We kind of came out slow, but we picked it up and we won state. We were supposed to win state, because we had just played (Houston) Jack Yates, the team that had won state the year before in 5A. We played them real close.”

@Horsefly I watched them against WOS in the Playoffs in 1985 and WOS gave them hell.  This game was lit.  WOS been a beast from 3A - 5A.  Those kids are tough year in year out.   That defense is straight up Nasty.   WOS was laying the wood back on them. 

Yates 19, West Orange-Stark 6

 

 

 

Man, where did you find these treasures from the past?  Yates was special, but so was WOS and Jones that year as well.  Both gave Yates hell.

I can't wait to see this one 

Duncanville to host private-school power St. John’s College (D.C.) in 2019 -- a chance to prove itself among the nation’s elite 

With an appearance in the 2018 Class 6A Div. I state championship -- and a result perhaps as close as possible to a title without actually earning one -- Duncanville proved itself among Texas’ elite high school football teams.

Next season, the Panthers can compare themselves among the nation’s best.

Coach Reginald Samples confirmed Tuesday that Duncanville will host St. John’s College on Sept. 14 as part of its 2019 non-district schedule.

St. John’s is a nationally prominent private school in Washington, D.C., that recruits some of the top players in the country.

Duncanville and St. John's each finished the 2018 season in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 rankings: Duncanville at No. 4 after losing the state championship on a Hail Mary to No. 1 Galena Park North Shore and St. John’s at No. 13 after advancing to the semifinals of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference playoffs, likely the most competitive private-school football league in the mid-Atlantic.

Each is also new to the national recognition.

Samples has constructed Duncanville into one of the state’s most menacing programs in his four years at the helm. The Panthers featured one of the best defenses in state history in 2018 and is set to return starting quarterback Ja’Quinden Jackson, running back Trysten Smith and a slew of other talented prospects on each side. 

Meanwhile, St. John’s made headlines last offseason when quarterback Sol-Jay Maiava transferred from Hawaii. The Cadets feature five of the top six Class of 2020 football prospects from D.C., including five-star players at linebacker and wide receiver. St. John’s is the alma mater of Under Armour founder Kevin Plank, whose $16 million donation to the school in 2015 helped prompt an ongoing arms race in high school recruiting at St. John’s and across the WCAC.

Duncanville can't recruit or receive players for athletic purposes, per UIL rules, but the mid-September clash offers the Panthers a chance to show Texas' dominant public high school football culture at a national level.

@Horsefly and @Texasball.  If this is true this is without a doubt the Toughest HS Schedule in History.  This is Freaking Crazy

ST. John's College will play Mater Dei, Duncanville, IMG, Gonzaga, St, Joeps Prep and Dematha

 

 

Yeah, that's ambitious.  Hope they have better depth than that MD team that came here a few years back and took on ET, Desoto and coppell in consecutive weeks.  The wheels fell off pretty quickly.

Jake Griedl.  They are loaded and that defense should be a beast in 5A

MARSHALL — Jake Griedl, who oversaw the most prolific offense in the history of Marshall Mavericks football the last two seasons, has been named the new Athletic Director/Head Football Coach in Marshall ISD.

Griedl was officially introduced to the MISD Board of Trustees during Tuesday’s regular January board meeting. MISD Superintendent Dr. Jerry Gibson announced the new role for Griedl as the replacement for former AD/HFC Claude Mathis, who accepted the Head Football Coach position at DeSoto ISD last week.

MISD hosted a press conference to introduce Griedl to the media and Marshall community Wednesday
