yeah, there's zero local teams that have struggled the last decade that might would want to have gone to the playoffs 9 out of 10 years instead

it's also worth noting that since they started playing in 1956, Orangefield has NEVER seen the third round, as best as I can tell, although I may have missed one somewhere. From 1956 to 2012, OF made 12 playoff appearances. In the last 10 years they've made 9 playoff appearances. So yeah, the slot-T has been an overwhelming success for the bobcats.

sometimes that's the ceiling, or close to it. You know how many local schools would absolutely love to trade their last ten years for orangefield's?

and back on topic, has the big list been released publicly yet?

carthage had 6 losing seasons in the 30 years before Surratt arrived. He came into a school with a considerable amount of consistent talent and with a consistent history of making the playoffs, and his excellent coaching got them over the hump. Coach Buchanan did a great job at Aledo, but in his first 15 years only won one state title (in his sixth year, ironically). He then went 9 more without one, before the area growth brought more talent his way. Consequently, Aledo has won 11 of the last 15 championships despite having 3 different coaches over that time. Did they luck into 3 elite coaches in a decade? I kinda doubt it. Buchanan may have started things off, but they have a major talent edge there. That said, HJ has 3 winning seasons in 20 years, and that was one special group of kids. BC has two winning seasons in the last 10 years, ironically enough with the same coach and QB as a couple of those decent HJ teams. You're still comparing apples to oranges. Surratt could absolutely come to those schools and turn them around and make them winners, but he's not taking them to state or anywhere close to it unless a whole bunch of kids move in with him.

Splendora 51 HJ 50 final/OT

As a Texas fan, I’m honestly not too upset. Washington was the better team, and Texas shot themselves in the foot over and over again. This year was still a huge success, and a lot of fun

He definitely had his guy beat. Throw that ball a yard in front of him instead of almost over his head and the defender wouldn’t have been able to make a play

No clue

Better throw there and Texas wins, but hell of a play

Sure would like to know what would’ve happened if they don’t pick up that flag and Washington has to go 20 yds for the initial first down if that drive. And actually, if it’s a dead ball foul, it’s 2nd and 25 there

Huge Texas fan here, and you’re correct

Penix is so dang good

Texas has earned their penalties, but please explain how that one got waved off?

Good God

If Washington scores a touchdown on this drive this game may be over. They’ve been the better team by a pretty good margin so far. Texas has to string a couple of stops together

Yeah, don’t think I would’ve taken that bet

Man, what a massive drive with Washington getting the ball to start the 2nd half

How did that not come back?

Been really lucky twice in a row

Texas has to eliminate the big plays

Damn good drive there

Ewers looked pretty shaky on that first drive.
