What team is the classiest...thoughts?

[Svbigman]

I know at SV they have a great progam and show a lot of class in their on field and off field actions but i want to hear what teams all of yall think are the classiest and why? :)

[GoRangers]

You'll get different answers to this question depending on people's perspective, and whether you include fans. For instance, I've seen folks on the forum complain that SV doesn't kneel during injuries, and many recall the fan's vandalizing Judson's buses at SV last year. I know SV team and Coach Hill are all class, but there is always incidents that others will hold against you to say, "see they're jerks just like everyone else".

[Rerun]

No particular order...

Katy
SV
Boerne(4A)
Clemens
Canyon(4A)
New Braunfels(4A)
Seguin
San Marcos

[SeguinMatadors]

I know people that go to Clemens and went to Clemens and Clemens is good people. Also, this year, wiith the exception of one, Clemens fans have been really classy all year long.

[toonman]

Isn't class a reflection of the coaches? Good coaches will show players how to play to win with class and lose with dignity. Class happens from the top down, not from the other way round. There has already been a thread about the best coaches. The coaches on that list run very classy programs.

westlake

[Favpack]

The classiest team I saw this year was Huntsville -- followed closely by Nacogdoches. It starts....and ends with the coaches.

[swgc06]

katy has to be the classiest program and sv is not to far behind...there is always one person who tries to mess up a programs worth

[LUFPAN]

I agree. Katy has one of the top and most consistent programs in the state. Yet, you don't see their fans spending all their time on the boards constantly bragging about their potential for greatness. Wish more of us would use their example. :cool:

[Sicemhorns09]

I might be a bit biased, but you have to put The Woodlands in that mix.

[TigerV1]

Thanks LUFPAN! Some people don't seem to think the same about Katy, but hey, you can't please everyone. Lufkin has been a pretty classy group as well.

[JC73]

I agree. Katy has one of the top and most consistent programs in the state. Yet, you don't see their fans spending all their time on the boards constantly bragging about their potential for greatness. Wish more of us would use their example. :cool:

Then we wouldn't have a message board. :D

[BigArab]

I have to give credit to Allen Wilson. He has done his best wherever he has coached (mostly lower socioeconomic backgrounds) to teach the kids some respect for opponents. The Dallas Carter you see now isn't the Dallas Carter that I used to see in the 80's. I give him a thumbs up.

[Phoenixrising05]

Best: Denton Ryan, Katy, SV

Worst: Grapevine and Colleyville, Arlington Lamar
Absolute Worst: Coppell

[Drake]

Only saw 8 or so games this year. Cinco Ranch's spirit, sportsmanship, and class (some actually applauded our team after the game) stood out in my mind...

[RedRage00]

You're right...it's Lufkin that spends all their time bragging about their greatness LOL :D :p

Clear Creek

Back when the season was still starting and we were all still playing non-district a bunch of the Clear Creek players got together and raised money for a Kingwood player that couldn't play because he had cancer. They did this without the coaches help and without a request, just some guys researching kingwood football found out about this guy and did what they could to help him.

I would have to second the motion on the Clear Creek squad being a class act. The following article from their site backs this up.

Young group of talented athletes that I hope do well in the playoffs and win their first playoff game since 1962. I believe this group deserves one at Deer Parks expense. :D

[DragonFan]

Last season I was impressed with the Abilene, Lufkin, Katy, Denton Ryan and SV fans and teams. I would like to think that there was mutal admiration coming from the SLC fans to the fans of the above mentioned teams. Nothing but respect to all the teams that I have seen SLC play. There might have been a bit of cockiness going into the Katy game but a dose of mortality was given to SLC. I think you will see a confidance in the SLC bunch, but not arogance.

[DodgeCitySlicker]

Best: Denton Ryan, Katy, SV

Worst: Grapevine and Colleyville, Arlington Lamar
Absolute Worst: Coppell



Did you miss the Denton Ryan game THIS year?
I know they were frustrated cause they were getting drummed, but the cheap shots behind the play were completely classLESS.

[Redneckn]

I think Longview is the classiest bunch. Then maybe Katy.

Lufkin is the complete worst.

The standing ovation given by the SLC fans to the Richland band was pretty moving from the opposite sideline where I was standing. Their football team wasn't so hot, but their band kicked *** and the SLC fans let them know that they were appreciated.

[PaulinPlano]

Plano East has a tradition of "Winning with Class". The fans are great and always show respect and appreciation to visiting teams and bands etc. I have never seen any "situations" at East football games and I have only missed 1 or 2 games a year (home & road) for the last 7 years.

GO EAST! :)

[GTown02]

Katy and Lufkin come to mind when thinking of classy programs... Ive always thought highly of those two storied programs...

[bhs06_2]

We had high expecatitions and things never went our way.. we could have given up but we never did.. we kept fighting. We never threw one punch or said one negative remark to the other team. We walked away from trouble. It shows that a coach can be successful even without a losing season and I think we were the classiest team in our district. As far as the teams we played:

The Good: Arlington Bowie, North Mesquite, Irving MacArthur, South Grand Prairie, Irving Nimitz

The Bad: Irving, Grand Prairie(would have been Good had they not started to be unsportsmanlike after they knew they were going to lose)

The Ugly:

-Flower Mound: "Hey, lets run up the other team's sideline after we pick off a pass and scream in the whole teams face as we run up the sideline!" and "Since we are down at halftime, lets spit on the visitor's locker room gatorade cups"

-Trinity: "I just got burned by that reciever for the 20th time tonight, but the QB didn't get the ball out to him, so I own him and can dance around and celebrate wildly when the ball was overthrown which would have been a TD had it been caught." and "Let's cheap shot a backside reciever into the sidelines when the refs aren't looking!" and "Let's show up to Bell's game when they play North Mesquite, sit behind their bench and throw/spit on them!"

-Coppell: Never had I heard as many racial remarks than I did that night. The ONE time out of 100 the refs actually made a call in our favor 3 or 4 of their guys started to yell at the referee like they were tough. If we did what they did our coach would bench us instantly and probably kick us off the team.

[ALLSTAR]

SLC is the classiest group ever, there is never any cheap shots

[Favpack]

I think Longview is the classiest bunch. Then maybe Katy.

Lufkin is the complete worst.
No bias there at all RN -- I think the assumption was pretty clear you wouldn't say your own team/fans/coaches were the classiest - lol.

[Redneckn]

C'mon, everybody here knows I hate Longview...hahaha. Ask BigArab... I was just being sarcastic.


I haven't seen enough teams in Texas to say for sure.. But I did watch the SLC/DentonRyan game on TV and I thought they both showed a lot of class.

I dont know of any "class-less" teams in Texas.. None that I've seen.. I mean, Longview is classless, but they cant help that.. It's part of being a redneck or something.. :D

[SLCDad]

The standing ovation given by the SLC fans to the Richland band was pretty moving from the opposite sideline where I was standing. Their football team wasn't so hot, but their band kicked *** and the SLC fans let them know that they were appreciated.I've been attending Texas high school football games since 1989. I've also heard dozens of bands in marching band competitions, including several state championship bands.

The Richland band performance was the most moving performance that I've ever seen. The marching was really good, but the SOUND was spectacular. Perhaps the perfect evening conditions made the sound travel better. We could hear every instrument. It was moving to the entire SLC home side. We couldn't stay seated. We all had to stand and recognize that marvelous performance.

I hope the Richland band and fans understood how much we appreciated what they did.

[drgnbkr]

I saw 1 player involved...#11....other than that it was a typical Coach Flo team...playing with fire & class..

[LUFPAN]

Lufkin is the complete worst.

And what has Lufkin done to earn "the complete worst" title? You need to watch a few more years of Texas ball before you threw out such non-sense.

[Tejasnole]

Plano, overall classy on and off the field. Could have run the score up on most of the games, but they decided to stay humble.

[BigArab]

As I recall from past drummings of Evangel, that Evangel were always the starters of any fight. Any classlessness has always been fixed with some "inspiration" from the coaches. As far as being rednecks, I'd say the general wealth of the area, coupled with the large black population, you'd be hardpressed to find a redneck on that team.

The guy I grew up with was Doug Cox. Sheesh that guy was a jerk if ever I knew one, but he certainly would be the first to cross the field in a loss to congratulate the coach and team.

C'mon BA you know I love Longview..
When I say rednecks in Longview, I don't mean red man chewing rednecks.. I mean good ole boys rednecks...
What does ECA have to do with any of this?

You'll find the majority of the good ole boys down the road in Marshall. I'm sure Longview has its far share, but the only way to find them is to hang out in Walmart long enough (a situation I loathe and avoid.)

[DodgeCitySlicker]

I saw 1 player involved...#11....other than that it was a typical Coach Flo team...playing with fire & class..

I watched the game on TV and saw (I should know his # but I cant remember for sure #8 maybe? I know his name but won't say it here) Ryan's DE grabbing our QB's facemask with one hand and tryin to punch through the mask with his other hand. It really too bad. This guy is really talented and one of Ryan's best players. I would say this was just frustration boiling over but I remember him from last years playoffs and I saw a late hit and plenty of taunting. I'm afraid that's just who he is.
I know this one player does not represent the entire Ryan team and I still have a ton of respect for Coach Florence's team.

[DodgeCitySlicker]

it was #18 not #8.

Why its gotta be walmart? Wait a second...you may be correct..
Marshall has good ole boys? That's funny for some reason.

GO EAST! :)




yeaaaaaaaaaaa right. I may be biased but I would have to put easts student section as fairly low on the class-o-meter, especially in meetings with allen.

as for plano, classy on the field, but as a fan, I think our student section is pretty crazy and not always the most sportsmanlike. But we mean well :D

[westlake]

westlake


gonna have to agree with that, not just because i went there. But i guess by going there and playing FR and JV gave me alot of experience to how the program is run.

Westlake is also one of the top academic schools in the state, they come out play their game, congratulate the other team, and leave.

Campus is very clean and safe, very little by way of drugs, no gangs, grafitti, no guns.

It is one of the most well disciplined group ive seen.

[Tejasnole]

Hey all student sections are rowdy. You can't stop that. But as far as East fans and the team overall, they have little or any class. I am a student at Plano and we support our team without violence and nothing but respect is given to the other team after the game is over. FM definately deserves being mentioned as "classless". What looked like a horrific knee injury to one of our players they were laughing it up on their sidelines and I counted one man that took a knee. Just One. That's classless.

[dragons08]

yea im glad you guys gave them a standing o, i was down on the field, in awe of their show great show, just found out why they were late, they had a competition in SA and came stragiht to game, explains the charter buses.

I must add my kudos to the players at Clear Creek. Those boys were definitely raised proper.

[dragons08]

lufkin

i would also like to add, the SLC band..i think its pretty classy, when we clean up the stands and everything before we leave "cleaner than when we go there" is what we strive for, also when we go places people compliment us on our behavior and respect stuff like that, i guess what do you expect with a bunch of band nerds though??

[dragons08]

id also say CHHS had a very classy team, their fans on the other hand, lets not go there..

[AZTiger]

maybe this is just rumors, but didnt westlake back in the mid 90s have the whole "we're rich we're white we're westlake" mantra? or was that just my buddy from SA Rossevelt being bitter they could never beat them?

[Phoenixrising05]

soooooooooo far the only votes for SLC...coming from our own fans. doh!

[dragons08]

soooooooooo far the only votes for SLC...coming from our own fans. doh!
i didnt vote for slc, i voted for their band! :D

There was a time (a LOOOONG time) when EVERYONE hated Westlake. We took alot of crap about how b/c we were rich we payed off refs, etc.

But yes they did, but i think it was given to them because of all the haters.

they are great sportsmen (they get their ***** kicked on saturday if they arent).

I was tempted to just to ignore this, but I couldnt as the subject was the class of the Trinity team and community. I respected ur brutally honest post following the Trinity-Bell game until u offered ur typically conceited opininon that's seemly gotten more bitter as the weeks have past since the game. First of all perhaps the reason the player was happy that your team didnt even show up on the score board before he took his seat on the bench shortly after halftime. And having attended the game, there were NO blatantly obvious cheapshots at that game. I can even recall noting to myself how clean the game was on both sides considering the nature of the rivalry, other then of course ur joke for a classy team running on to the field during the playing of our alma mater. You can claim it as aaccident but many of ur teammates had no problems whooping it up before the game. Hence ur principal had to apologize for the way u guys embarrassed the entire community. As for ur North Mesquite game I highly doubt a Trinity fan would waste almost 10 bucks to attend ur games, thats 3 hrs that u cant get back, and could of been spent watching Trinity or doing just about anything else. Did you ever think it was ur own "great" fans sitting behind u, the ones who wore NO HOPE shirts later in the season. Perhaps the 7-29 performance u gave them left a bad taste in their mouth.

[toonman]

And what has Lufkin done to earn "the complete worst" title? You need to watch a few more years of Texas ball before you threw out such non-sense.

No, No ,No - Lufkin are very classy - Coach, Players and Fans. One of the classiest in the State. (I do not live nor am I a lufkin fan, but I know class when I see it)

[cyfallsbooster]

In 175A I would have to say it is Cy Fair Bobcats. Good continuous following and always win and loose with class. No "crap" on or off the field.

[PaulinPlano]

I have never seen any issues with the kids from Plano East. That does not mean is has not happened, but I have not seen it. But I suppose kids will be kids.

Katy, Lufkin...oh, and the SLC band(that was for you, Dragons08)......Redneckin----i know you say that you love us, and you should!! i love and respect anybody who has spanked my butt 4 times in a row!! just look at how much i love Lufkin :cool: :cool:

Bleed. I really don't have much respect for Longview due to the fact that I think Longview are sorry winners. I like Longview because y'all are good ole boys from the same neck of the woods.
Y'all are having a few good years. That's good. ECA had a few good years. The tide will turn again.
Love is such a harsh word. I do not love Longview. The only thing good about the place is Jucy's. If it makes you feel any better though, I do hate DFW.
