H-F and newton has played some good games i think people forget in 1978 newton was ranked number 1 and hamshire beat newton 31-15 with qb charles deshotel going 10 -10 for over 157 yrds passing 1 td and 2 rushing and his cousin kenneth deshotel his cousin kenneth rushed for over 108 yrds for a td and 1 receiving td . They would go on to play Sealy in regionals with the great eric dickerson and would lose 21-7 we lost two of our best players before that game Todd shellhammer at defensive tackle and our fullback robert sanders that team went 9-3 and that was coach Phil Danahere first year at hamshire he would win 18-2a coach of the year and Port arthur news super 22 team coach of the year , the second time a hamshire coach had won that that the first being les koenning .

Wow thats something i know from articles hf did miss an extra point which ended up costing them the game , as for the baseball i didnt know that but knew danny lauve was a stud at the linebacker position he lead the team with 7 interceptions that year which is crazy for a linebacker to have. that team had 12 first team all district picks and 2 players on the fairly new port arthur news super 22 team and the teams 1st player to make all state Dale Green

he was the head coach of a football team , he was a track coach , athletic director and he drove bus word on the streets was he wanted another 1,000 bucks and hamshire didnt want to give it to him . had he stayed im convinced they would have been going on deep playoff runs and probably a state title it was a lot of talent on upcoming squads back during that time . That 74 team was #1 for 7 weeks they had beat newton earlier in the season, koenning before the game whoever wins this game will win state and newton did , he also said the same thing vs lagrange in 1975.

it was 5 all staters i missed one qb jake loicano he was an hm all state kicker

Hamshire in their history have had 2 hall of fame coaches for that program we use to always say what would have happened if Les koenning stayed? He left after the 1975 13-1 season and went to Houston Memorial and lead them too a 12-1 record eventually losing to PNG . Then you had coach Danaher who left after the 1983 season and went too Callallan and you see what he did there . Coach Tarver did great for that school till this day I don't know what happened he had some great teams he leaves goes to bridge city and leads them too an 11-2 record . How do you let coaches of that caliber leave ? You gotta pay them !!! Imagine if either one of them could have coached there 20 plus years where the program could have been? Coach Waggoner looks like the real deal doing a great job with the team .

Yes Felman Malceaux was there he was 3a states OPOY all state at wr and defensive back hamshires only receiver that ever went over 1,000 yrds receiveing ( that year 1,234) he went to Michigan. that team put up the most points in 3a that season ( at least for the regular season) Anthony Semian was the stud back that season still holds the record for the most yards in a season for the school (1,850) Big Jake Droddy at tackle and Cody Mahon at Linebacker .

The irony of this win is that hamshires best team in the schools history was the 1990 team ( 4 all state players and OPOY) lost to waco connally after leading the majority of the game 30-29

1975 Les Koening coached team lead by Les Koening Jr at Qb they went to the semifinals lost too eventually state champ Lagrange 20-14
