History of Back to Back Undefeated Dist. Championships


Brubaker

Recommended Posts

What's the historical perspective of back to back undefeated district championships in SETX.  Dogs about to do it, just wondering where this puts them in relation to the WOS, Newton... etc dynasties of SETX.  Funny that not too long ago, everyone held the lack of a district championship over Neumann's head... now the guy hasn't lost in over 2 seasons and will win 2 straight.

Well, just speaking on recent history, since WO-S dropped down to 3A in '04, they have won 7 of 8 district championships, going undefeated in district in 7 of those seasons. Including this season, the Mustangs have only lost 1 district game since dropping to 3A. The only loss was to Silsbee in '09 when Silsbee went undefeated in district.

Also recently, Evadale has had a string of district championships which I believe is at 5 straight, all undefeated.

In the '75 season...went back and checked...looks like we were undefeated in district...1 loss to Sam Houston by a point. Sam Houston would be preseason correct?  For The '76 and '77 seasons I included pre season. Nederland is not undefeated overall. They lost a game in preseason...so if its just district..we would have 3 in a row.

There's a lot of truth to that statement....

When have all of PN-G's state championship appearances happened? The '50s, '70s, and '90s. During each of those decades, there was always one school that seemed to stand in the way of perfect seasons. In the '50s and '70s, it was TJ or Lincoln depending on the specific season (although ironically, there was a year in there somewhere where we needed TJ and Lincoln to tie in the last district game to go to the playoffs, and that's exactly what happened). In the '90s, it was West Orange-Stark.

Brandon Faircloth's undefeated 2009 season and the playoff run that followed were reminiscent of Danny Malone's first season as head coach in 1989, when the Indians went 9-1 (losing to WO-S in the last district game that season, 20-25) and made a state quarter-final appearance in what was the only PN-G playoff appearance of the 1980s.

Ironically, head coaches that went on to be successful elsewhere didn't coach at PN-G during the highly successful odd numbered decades, they coached at PN-G only during even numbered decades. Danny Malone is now one of Nebraska's most successful head coaches at Geneva's Fillmore Central HS, and has given the University of Nerbraska Cornhuskers many of their star players. Bum Phillips coached for PN-G in the '60s. But Lew Ford and Gene McCollum, who led us to three consecutive state championship appearances in the mid '50s, took administrative positions within the district. Doug Ethridge, who led the Indians to four straight district championships, a state title, another state final appearance that set the national record for fan attendance that still stands today, a state semi-final appearance and a #3 national ranking in 1975, left the Indians in 1983 and had a mostly quiet career to my knowledge after that. And then there's Matt Burnett, who, with an excellent OC and QB pair working with him, led the Indians through the highly successful 1999 season, which ended with a 14-2 record and a heartbreaking loss to Stephenville in the state championship at the Astrodome in front of 39,000 fans, and he now has an administrative position within the district.

It seems that the PN-G football program is cyclical. Odd numbered decades see astounding success at some point. We're kicking off one of those decades now, and interestingly enough, our lower grades seem to be performing very well right now....

Now excuse me while I go find some wood to knock on.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
