DevilDog Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Nolan Catholic challenging their athletes even during the CoronaVirus Immediately following his challenge, the strength and conditioning coach showed that he is willing to practice what he preaches with a video of himself doing the challenge he presented to the athletes. Coach Williams says the staff meets virally on Sundays to develop a plan for the week. He bounces his workout challenge ideas off of friends, family and other coaches before presenting them to his athletes. “We really strive to create a fun atmosphere in the weight room and I think the culture of our program is carrying over to the home workouts.” Coach Williams told me in a virtual interview. There’s an overwhelming sense of uncertainty sweeping the nation in regards to the novel coronavirus. With spring sports being cancelled until as early as May 4th, it looks as though summer workouts may be postponed and we may not see more high school sports until Fall sports begin. For any coach who may be scrambling to keep their athletes focused, they shouldn’t fear. “I would suggest continuing to find creative ways to keep [the athletes] engaged and active.” Coach Williams said. “The most important part is communication. During this time, I feel like student athletes need constant reminders of what they’re working towards, especially right now when they don’t know what’s next.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDog Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 here’s the breakdown of the top 10, and let the debate begin (or continue): I will attempt to provide footage of each in a playoff game. 1956 Abilene One of the first “mythical national champions,” Abilene went 14-0 with its third of four-consecutive state championships. Abilene went 14-0 and outscored its opponents by a 496-64 margin. They were named “Team of the 20th Century” by The Dallas Morning News. 1973 John Tyler Many regard Earl “The Tyler Rose” Campbell the greatest high school back of all-time in Texas, and he had tight end Ronnie Lee on this squad as well. Lee himself played in the NFL for 14 seasons. The Lions went 15-0 and beat a very good Austin Reagan team for the state title. 1983 Daingerfield This team had perhaps the best defense on the list, which puts them in this conversation, and the offense wasn’t too shabby. While going 16-0, Daingerfield outscored its opponents, 631-8 (not a typo), and had 14 shutouts, including 13 in a row to end the season. Its non-district opponents were Carthage, Kilgore and Gilmer. 1985 Houston Yates It’s a daunting task to beat a team that has five future NFL players on it, and the Yates Lions went 16-0 with that kind of talent. They scored 659 points and allowed just 79 on the season. To top it off, they destroyed defending state champion Odessa Permian, 37-0, for the Class 5A state title. 1989 Odessa Permian 16-0 (627-97) Of all the Permian state champion teams, this one was selected because of defense and an undefeated record. Just one year after losing to Dallas Carter in the famous “Friday Night Lights” game from the book and movie, the Panthers went 16-0 and rolled to a state championship. They scored 627 points on the season while collectively allowing just 97. 1996 Austin Westlake Before Drew Brees slung the ball at Purdue and began his NFL career, this future hall of famer directed the Chaps to a 16-0 record and 55-15 trouncing of Abilene Cooper for the state championship. Westlake averaged a little more than 41 points a game while giving up 11 per contest. 1999 Midland Lee The Rebels won three state championships in a row (1998-2000), but they only went undefeated once. Led by running back Cedric Benson, Lee went 15-0 and thoroughly handled Aldine Eisenhower, 42-21, for the state title. 2006 Southlake Carroll Carroll has won multiple state championships in various divisions, but this was their best. The Dragons went 16-0 and their average margin of victory was 44-8. But equally as impressive is the list of teams they beat along the way, including Dallas Lake Highlands and Shreveport’s Evangel Christian in non-district, and then through the playoffs they beat Lewisville, Euless Trinity, Odessa Permian, Colleyville Heritage, Allen and Austin Westlake. 2013 Allen The Eagles won three-straight state titles with Kyler Murray at quarterback, but their best team was his junior year when Allen scored 807 points on the season and allowed 298. Allen bullied Pearland in the 5A Division I state championship, 63-28, before moving to 6A the next year and winning that Division I title. 2015 Katy If Daingerfield’s defense was the gold standard last millennium, then Katy’s 2015 team set it for the current days of teams throwing the ball all over the yard. Katy went 16-0 and allowed only 62 points all season. Katy, which shut out 10 opponents that year, put an exclamation point on the season by thumping Lake Travis, 34-7, for the 6A Division II state title.

DevilDog Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 No video footage but I did find the State Championship program in 1956 1956 Abilene One of the first “mythical national champions,” Abilene went 14-0 with its third of four-consecutive state championships. Abilene went 14-0 and outscored its opponents by a 496-64 margin. They were named “Team of the 20th Century” by The Dallas Morning News.

DevilDog Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Man getting any video of this team with Big Earl is like finding Big Foot. The State Championship is radio only but was cool to lay back and listen to. But I did find a playoff game and it's the old reel tapes. 1973 John Tyler Many regard Earl “The Tyler Rose” Campbell the greatest high school back of all-time in Texas, and he had tight end Ronnie Lee on this squad as well. Lee himself played in the NFL for 14 seasons. The Lions went 15-0 and beat a very good Austin Reagan team for the state title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 8 minutes ago, DevilDog said: here’s the breakdown of the top 10, and let the debate begin (or continue): I will attempt to provide footage of each in a playoff game. 1956 Abilene One of the first “mythical national champions,” Abilene went 14-0 with its third of four-consecutive state championships. Abilene went 14-0 and outscored its opponents by a 496-64 margin.

Lee himself played in the NFL for 14 seasons. The Lions went 15-0 and beat a very good Austin Reagan team for the state title. 1983 Daingerfield This team had perhaps the best defense on the list, which puts them in this conversation, and the offense wasn’t too shabby. While going 16-0, Daingerfield outscored its opponents, 631-8 (not a typo), and had 14 shutouts, including 13 in a row to end the season. Its non-district opponents were Carthage, Kilgore and Gilmer. 1985 Houston Yates It’s a daunting task to beat a team that has five future NFL players on it, and the Yates Lions went 16-0 with that kind of talent. They scored 659 points and allowed just 79 on the season. To top it off, they destroyed defending state champion Odessa Permian, 37-0, for the Class 5A state title. 1989 Odessa Permian 16-0 (627-97) Of all the Permian state champion teams, this one was selected because of defense and an undefeated record.

DevilDog Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Beast Texas Back to Back Hard to argue with this little team and the kids that went to the NFL from this team 4 of them. 1983 Daingerfield This team had perhaps the best defense on the list, which puts them in this conversation, and the offense wasn’t too shabby.

DevilDog Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 1996 Austin Westlake Before Drew Brees slung the ball at Purdue and began his NFL career, this future hall of famer directed the Chaps to a 16-0 record and 55-15 trouncing of Abilene Cooper for the state championship. Westlake averaged a little more than 41 points a game while giving up 11 per contest. Westlake claimed the 1996 Class 5A, Division II championship in resounding fashion. The Chaps won every game they played by double digits, including a 55-15 romp past Abilene Cooper in the title game at Texas Stadium in Irving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
