What other high school game made “SportsCenter” for three straight nights? Or captured the attention of Jay Leno and David Letterman? Or sent millions to YouTube to watch grainy highlights? Or inspired reality TV producers to try to stage a rematch two decades later? It took a perfect storm of factors for the ending of Plano East-John Tyler to go viral before the phrase even entered our lexicon. The matchup of undefeated state title contenders in Texas’ top playoff division featured three successful fourth-quarter onside kicks, an unprecedented comeback and an unforgettable finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool story. Kaint beat those announcers with the West Texas drawls. Texas HS football was in their prime in the 1980s and 90's. Then the landscape shifted to NJ, Fla, Calif, NV.

Personally I'd vote for the 1981(Angeles/Trinity) League championship game between 9-0 teams, St. Paul and Bishop Amat. Tied 14-14 in regulation, went 4 overtimes, won by SP 42-35 10,000 SRO Fans thought the game ended in a regulation tie, and rushed the field. Cops had to back everyone to the 50 yrd line and sidelines for the overtime.

Glad to hear that you you were there too. You were right to describe the game as "INTENSE". Those schools disliked each other greatly, add the fact that the league champ was also on the line, then the tie in regulation, then each overtime, made for off the chart INTENSITY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only the game, but the fans. St Paul fans were brutal, if they had guns like they have now, there would have been a mass shooting.

Cossacks Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Very good comeback and finish. But as a game, when you have starters in the 4th qtr. with their pads off and taking selfies with the crowd then scrambling to get back into the game its hard to put it in the "greatest" category.

Endless hyperbole for what is a legendary game. This is the complete, actual game broadcast: Note: the game starts after the first minute or so. The video becomes incredible around the 3:17 mark. DeMatha is still leading, 36-33, and Gonzaga has the ball with 34 seconds left. There will be three touchdowns in 34 seconds including a 75 yard kickoff return (breaks 4 tackles) and a Hail Mary that is 65+ yards in the air as time runs out. And then the td drive which starts all this to bring GZ back into the game from 20 points down. Outstanding commentary on the 1stAmendmentSports broadcast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEOC89 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 For me it was DLS Vs MD 1998.... Having Grown up and played HSFB in The OC, and Gone to College in Nor Cal it was a cant miss game.... I was living in San Diego and drove up to the “Big A” to go see the team I had read about in the newspaper and followed their “Streak” in Nor Cal Play The Great OC Power MD who has recently won a couple of National Titles... It was an incredible scene... Like 20k people in “The Big A” (Was The Biggest Stage for OC And Southern Section Football for Years), and MD looking like a College Team and Everyone was looking at DLS in the sideline going “That is The Team With 70 whatever wins?”.... Then DLS Bolts out to a 21-7 Lead and the tension in the place was incredible... Complete disbelief Everyone was shocked.... DLS was so Impressive with their execution, like nothing My Buddies and I had ever seen in So Cal Football... .But in Classic Rollo Fashion MD Came storming Back and Tied the game, and the Crowd was on Fire, it had just become a heavyweight fight of Nor Cal vs So Cal... Then Tied At 21-21 and DLS Facing 3rd and 21 Lad calls a Draw and The Great Atari Callen breaks one for a first down and all the momentum goes back to DLS.... Unbelievable... DLS ends up scoring and winning 28-21... It was so incredible, you definitely felt like you were part of HSFB History with DLS Validating their Streak Beating the The OC’s Great National Champ MD.... There was just nothing like it.... Been a huge DLS Fan Ever Since!!!... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
