During Garlands' State Championship run in 1999, the Owls had a slow start. They lost a very winable game to Highland Park to start their season and played DeSoto in an uninspired manor in a win and then played Skyline. Skyline was a decent team, but probably a 3 TD underdog. Garland played poorly and was down at the half. Coach Joe Martin waited a while and let the kids stew a bit, about 2 minutes before they were to go back out for the second half he walks in the dressing room, picks up a typical 6 seater portable table and slams it to the floor, breaking it to pieces. He said if the kids didn't want to play this year then they were going home now and calling off the season. The kids ran out the dressing room, more afraid of the caoch than Skyline, played a pretty good half, and won, and then won by a ton the next week, and the roll was on. There is a program that was passed out at the parade for the team and in the back was a place for a Q&A. The main question was, what do you remember most about this season. 28 kids answered and 24 said the coach breaking the table was what they remembered, not the state championship.

The morning before our homecoming game against Irving Nimtz, we were having a meeting with coachs. We had started the Season 1-5 with loses to Jesuit, SLC, Trinty, and a big whoppin by I.Mac (45-0) and were looking to finish the season on winning note..

The privous night on of our JV player had been care flighted to the hospital after suffering a sever concussion and our coach had visted him. He told us, whale waiting for the players perents he went out side to catch some fresh air. As he was standing there he saw a chicken...yes a chicken...in the middle of a hospital parking lot in Dallas...We all look around confused as all get out we were like what the heck...Coach Fuller then went on to say "well i thought a minute and decieded to be like Rocky and try and chase downt he chicken. After about 10mins of chacing that damn thing i cought it" we all applauded good job coach...Coach Fuller then went on to say "And after I cought it I cut his head off for good look in tonights game" It offerded to the Texas High School Football Gods in hope we might win...

We then went on a three game winning streak and fell 7 point short of a play-off bid against SLC...

Anybody that knows Coach Mathis can relate to this one.

It was back in 7th grade at Dunbar. We were doing push-ups in
PE class. Coach Mathis (smelling of Thunderbird and in desperate
need of a shave) yells out "We are gonna keep on doing these until
we all get it right...now start over!!" He's sitting in a chair at the
front of the gym counting the push-ups off....1...down...2....down...3
...down...4..................and then nothing for over a minute or so...
We are all in the "up" position waiting...still not a word...you hear everybody
start to mumble and strain....after a while everybody falls to the deck...
What happened?

Coach Mathis obviously needed a nap and was slouching in his chair
snoring away...That dude was a trip.
And I'll bet all of the Lufkin guys have at least one Coach Mathis story.
