Question for WO-S 87

[SFA85]

'95 football season, what was the highest LC-M was ranked in any recognized poll.  A co-worker is saying top 5, I'm saying no higher than 8.  Thanks

[WOS87]

I'm assuming you mean 1994 when they went 10-0-0.  LC-M didn't break the top 10 in the AP poll in 1995.  The only time during the last 40 years LC-M has been ranked by the AP was in 1994.  I'll check to see if I have any other rankings from back then....

1994 AP Poll

Week 8 LC-M #10

Week 9 LC-M #10

Week 10 LC-M #9

Thanks.  This guy is from Mabank and hardly has a clue about local high school football.  He had some kin playing for LC-M at the time

Since we're on the subject and you made me dig out all my old rankings data....

Nope... not by the AP.  They haven't been #2 either.  The highest Burkeville has ever been ranked was #3: the entire season of 1987 from Preseason thru the final poll, and also #3 in the preseason poll of 2002.  They were #4 for the last 8 weeks of 1994.

LC-M only allowed 2 touchdowns and 16 total points to be scored against them in their first 8 games. They allowed 69 points total in the entire 12 game season, with almost half of that total coming at the hands of Willis who finally beat them 31-22 in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Hehehe... and they still wear "The Hit List" shirts (or remnants of shirts) 13 years later to remind us all

Oh well..most polls are more popularity contest than just about anything anyways.
