Texas HS Football Trivia Thread

[TexasHSFootball]

A summer time hobby for you guys in the countdown to the season..

This district is probably the most dominating and most underappreciated district in the state in all classifications. Not only did this district match the accomplishments of the East Texas 4A district, they ended up with a three way tie for the district title. One team ending up as the state champion, another running into a district foe in the state quarterfinals and the other losing in the state semifinals.

what district am i referring to?

*******
next person that answers it correctly posts a new trivia question up and down the line.

That would be district 4-3A. Abilene Wylie, Sweetwater and Snyder all finished tied for first. Sweetwater and Snyder met in the Q-finals losing to Snyder by 1 point. Abilene Wylie went on to win the state championship in a thrilling game against Cuero.

Next question (it's kinda weak)...

Which former 5A player holds the NFL record for rushing yards by and undrafted rookie?

[wide-e-wide]

Undrafted?
Dang...I guess I've had too many Miller Lites tonight...
I'm drawing a blank...

Can't be Bam Morris he wasn't 5a...
It's gonna be really easy and I'm gonna look like a dumb@...
The undrafted part is what is getting me.

It's easy for me because I went to school with the guy.

Dominique Rhodes, RB for the Indianapolis Colts, formerly of Abilene Cooper fame.

[farmerfan]

What program was the 1st to ever win a state championship in both the Division 1 bracket and the Division 2 bracket?

[wide-e-wide]

Midland Lee?
Hell I don't know...
Give me some MLB trivia of NFL ...I know that.
If it happened outside of the PineyWoods I struggle.

[farmerfan]

good guess, they were the second.
lets get one of these started on the baseball or pro football forms, that could be some fun.

[jtk1519]

What program was the 1st to ever win a state championship in both the Division 1 bracket and the Division 2 bracket?

I think that was Lewisville. Div. II in '93 and Div. I in '96. it was later repeated by Midland Lee and Katy at pretty much the same time.

[farmerfan]

right on the money, can you ask more than one question if you continue to get the right answer, Im not to familiar with how this works.

I think it works pretty much how you want just so long as we keep getting questions.

I have one for you to ponder...

Which 5A football legend and current NFL jaw dropper had small role as a Midland Lee coach in the film version of "Friday Night Lights"?

[farmerfan]

man im clueless

[jtk1519]

man im clueless

See if this helps... He is a part of what should be the best threesome of young WRs in the NFL (all first round picks).

[farmerfan]

Ahh, im going to say Roy Williams

[Bootsdaddy]

Roy Williams

[farmerfan]

In the 20+ year History of Ratliff Stadium, Permian has lost 3 playoff games to 2 different programs at that stadium, name those two programs?

[Bootsdaddy]

Roy Williams


Didnt see your post where you had already answered.Dont know how I missed it!

Plano and Lewisville?

[farmerfan]

Plano was the 1st school to ever go in there and get a victory, accomplishing that feat in 1987 and repeating it in 1994, the other team is Red and Gold

[Bootsdaddy]

Lewisville?

[farmerfan]

think a pack of horses emerging from the Hub City

[Bootsdaddy]

Ive never heard of the "Hub City" but it seems to be Lubbock so I'll say Lubbock Coronado.

[farmerfan]

Correct

[Purple Haze]

Plano
Lubbock Coronado (as bizarre as that sounds)

Lubbock Coronado actually owns 2 post season Ws against Permian thanks to a forfeit one year.

What El Paso team gave up 81 points to the Abilene Cooper Cougars in a playoff game?

I know..... this one isn't very hard. :rolleyes:

That would be El Paso Eastwood in '94.

[jtk1519]

Which amazing athlete finished his Texas high school football career with more than 480 tackles and 21 INTs while at the same time accounting for over 6,100 yards of total offense and 85 TDs in just two years?

[drgnbkr]

Bill Bradley?

[jtk1519]

Bill Bradley?

Nope.

Clue... he wasnt a 5A player.

[farmerfan]

Only name that comes to my mind would be a Kendal Briles, does not seem right since at stphenville alone he probably had at least 4500 in one season, but I know he started at QB for only 2, and played defense as well.

The guy I'm talking about was highly recruited for football, but ended up getting drafted and playing a few years in the Anaheim Angels organization. He is now back to football and will play this fall for the college he originally commited to coming out of high school.

[farmerfan]

Quan Cosby
The most explosive player I have ever seen play High School football.

Bingo.

[farmerfan]

Who holds the record for most games with 100 yds rushing?

[Lobo Dude]

Is it Wes Danaher?

[jtk1519]

I would have to guess Kenneth Hall.

[farmerfan]

Wes Danaher with 43

[Lobo Dude]

Which former Lobo and Notre Dame football player is now in NFL Europe?

Sorry this ones probably easy.. i'm not too good at coming up with tricky questions.

[wide-e-wide]

Name the back that ran for over 1,000 yards

Hint....he's from Lufkin.

Denvis Manns

[Sting2Viper]

Which 5a state champ had the most losses or lowest win percentage?
Just curious.

[farmerfan]

I think the 94 Plano team had 4 defeats
and the 82 Westbrook team was 3rd in thier district as well.
If i had to pick one i think it would be Plano, but I many be way off.

[BAMF cowboy]

This isn't a question, just something I found interesting. Until this year (2004) SLC had never won a state title without Converse Judson winning one in the same year.

[chhspantherfan]

in the midst of greatness :cool:

[MALAMEDICINA]

What is the last school that won Football and Basketball championships in the same year?

[FatBoy of Troy]

Wild stab, showing my ignorance...SL Carroll??????:confused:

[MALAMEDICINA]

I asked because I dont know either.:) hahah

[WOS87]

I need to update this table... unless it occurred in either '08-'09 or '09'-'10 the answer would be Duncanville '98-'99

5A STATE CHAMPIONS

[MALAMEDICINA]

Great work man, that is really hard to do, win state on those 2 sports same year.

[da hawaiian]

I believe they won the baseball crown too

It was all over the news for days when they did it

[MALAMEDICINA]

The Triple Crown. I dont see a school doing it anytime soon, that is super-hard.

They lost to Bellaire in the final that year.

can you imagine the buildup emotionally for that game !!! Bellaire won big, but to even get to that point is epic.

They got run ruiled if I remember correctly. Duncanville had a pitcher the name escapes me who went on to UT, he was a dang good pitcher but Bellaire made him look like a freaking pitching machine set at 65 mph. Brain Boddicker was a junior that year for the Duncanville basketball team and he was pretty salty himself.

[farmerfan]

What about 4A?
I know that Paris won in football in 88 and won in baseball in 89. Have anyh other schools done that in 4A or come close to the triple crown?

David Nied graduated in 1987, Todd Ritchie in 1990. So, it was either a young Ritchie or someone else.

I was talking about Duncanville in '98. They had a great pitcher, I was going to say Chris something but that was the kid at FW Nolan who also went to Texas

my bad, that would have been Justin Simmons maybe Duncanville '99 I believe. went to UT, college world series in 02, drafted in 04.

[chhspantherfan]

WOW, sorry Farmer. that was dyslexic reading at it's best. more Coffee !!!

That is exactly who I was thinking of. Thank you sir. Yes I remember him being a huge part of the staff for UT when they went to the CWS.

Any idea of the kid from Nolan I am thinking of? He was around the same year and he might have eventually transferred out of UT

[farmerfan]

My post can do that to people :)

Aaron Whitehead was at Nolan then, but I thought he went OSU

[farmerfan]

Nolan had quite a few talented players tat year. I was going to say Chris Wade but I realized I was thinking of Tim Wade who played for Trinity Christian Addison. I do remember Aaron Whitehead. He was freaking awesome.

It is amazing how many great baseball players are from this area. Testament to the area youth leagues. :)

You can say that again. What's scary is as good as they are around here I think Houston has a leg up on us. The private school teams around here are outstanding too. Dallas Christian at one time had the best baseball program in the entire area, same could be said about Trinity Christian Addison. I firmly do believe that too.. Dallas Christian had a team tha went 34-0 back in 2001 and those just weren't wins against other private schools. They beat the heck out of some dang good public schools including the number 1 ranked team in the 4A or 5A area rankings.
