Final Week HS Football "Nuggets" of Interest... 

AWESOME OFFENSES

The state's scoring leaders entering the final week of the regular season are:

489 (54.3 average) - Gilmer (3A)

467 (51.8) -- Gorman (1A)

465 (51.6) -- Roscoe (1A)

463 (51.4) -- Diboll (3A)

452 (50.2) -- Munday (1A)

450 (50.0) -- Granger (1A)

446 (49.5) -- Winnsboro (2A)

441 (49.0) -- Alto (1A)

431 (47.8) -- Southlake Carroll (5A)

422 (46.8) -- Caddo Mills (1A)

ALTO LEADS STATE WITH 23 STRAIGHT

Alto owns the state's current longest winning string at 23 games. The defending 1A-I state champions were 14-0 last season. Mart, the defending 2A-II kingpin, has won 22 in a row.

DISTRICT WIN STREAKS

46 - Galena Park North Shore (5A)

37 - Southlake Carroll (5A)

38 - Highland Park (4A)

31 - Edcouch-Elsa (4A)

33 - Gilmer (3A)

OLD RIVALS

Amarillo and Lubbock clash for the 92nd time this weekend in a 2-5A contest with playoff implications. The Amarillo Golden Sandies, the state's all-time winningest school, holds a 75-14-2 advantage in the series, including a state record 33 consecutive victories over the Westerners.

Denison and Sherman will not be in the playoffs this season so their 94th meeting will have to serve as this year's highlight. Sherman leads the series 56-31-6.

CAN WHITESBORO DO IT?

Since the state playoffs began in 1920, Whitesboro has yet to be an entry -- the longest such span in the UIL history. Chances are the Bearcats are going to miss out again unless they upset #3 ranked terror Celina in Friday's finale. Although Whitesboro can still finish in a three way tie even with a loss, the 'Cats would come up short in a point system with Pilot Point and Prosper.

On the other hand, Palacios (29-3A) is returning to the playoffs for the first time since its 1964 Class 2A (now 3A) state championship run.

    • Funny how “MAGA” is considered a bad thing…. The MAGA crowd….etc…. Whoever doesn’t want to make America Great should leave. 
    • That's an interesting take, but considering that an incumbent enjoys a HUGE advantage historically, I think Covey came pretty close to an upset. I don't care one way or the other - the biggest reason being that I live in Hardin County. But I have to think the Trump endorsement got Covey that close in the first place. His only recognition was on a very local level, virtually unheard of before the Trump endorsement. Otherwise, he probably would've lost by thousands of votes instead of a few hundred. Just my observation.
    • I think the interesting point is this… Trump backed candidates do better when Trump is on the ballot. Back in March Covey was up by 3%, and that skirt from Jasper pulled about 10%… and most people believed that her voters would go directly to Covey. Conventional wisdom was that Covey would be up by 10-12 points if all things went according to the pattern from March. That just didn’t happen. Typically turnout is lower in runoffs than in the primaries, and my guess is that Phelan had fewer votes this time around than last, but covey had WAY fewer votes. A friend of mine has been watching a similar runoff in central texas, and the results were similar. The MAGA guy just didn’t turn out the votes this May.    My opinion is that a large portion of the support these Trump guys are just that…. Trump supporters. They’ll vote down ticket according to MAGA directives when Trump is on the ballot, but when they can’t vote Trump, they just don’t show up at all.

    • Then you should have known lots of people said the exact same thing when the alcoholic Democrat Ann Richards was elected way way back in the day. Texas has become redder and redder ever since. People, especially blacks, are waking up and realizing the Marxist Democrats are destroying them. Feel free to hold your breath waiting on your dream to happen though. That would be fun to watch, LOL.
