Early 2000s I would say. In the mid-late 1990s I would argue a majority of teams kicked deep most of the time.

No one talking about how Gordon scrimmaged at Itasca and looked great playing 11man? Crazy...well done Gordon and coach Reed

that was the one matchup I didnt watch much of like I said (should have said that in first post I guess). The Strawn and Blackwell matchups where what I was more engaged watching...so keep that in mind...will agree with the rest of this as well

Not sure what you are disagreeing with but I will explain more I went in questioning how good Water Valley would be, so them holding Strawn scoreless (I believe) is why that was my biggest takeaway. If I had to pick the 2nd best matchup Blackwell v Westbrook would have to be it by default as...

Was glad when Strawn got added to the scrimmage...best matchups where Strawn v Water Valley and Westbrook v Blackwell...***that I watched in full (edited to clarify)*** Water Valley's defense was what I walked away being impressed by from their time vs Strawn. I wouldnt say they were...

Just got this game transferred. 1956 Patton Springs v Wellman...Patton Springs looks to have a good dropkicker! This was Wellman's film and has some school activity after the game on film

I wrote about the 1986 team here for some clarification https://sixmanfootball.com/threads/25-days-of-champions-1986-fort-hancock.28078/

major error there in Medina was not the head coach on the 1986 team, Fred Carter was

A bump for this...end of year so while you are looking over things keep in mind possible football records or great performances

Thorndale and Brackettville

Very cool and we will all be rooting for Gordon. Reed did coach Throckmorton in a half 11man and half 6man game in 2012 v Windthorst ...to me the real story here is Matt Stepp wrote something involving 6man football

Frog Jaw was a small school house on Valley Creek about a mile south of HWY 277/Happy Valley, TX. Was named that bc the kids could hear the frogs on the creek croaking all the time while in school. I believe it was also called Lower Valley Creek....there was also a school called Upper Valley...

Maroon and White. HS Consolidated with Winters in 1947 (Class of 1947 was Wingate's last it seems), have seen two different sources for when they closed the school...one was 1991 and one was 1995

Pirates. Believe Red was their primary color but will ask a few folks to make sure It ran as an elementary junior high school for a long while after the HS consolidated (into the 1970s and maybe 80s for sure) which was in the late 40s I think...will check on exact dates I know some folks that...

An offensive formation that has gone the way of the dinosaurs...the reverse snap...or butt-to-butt offense. Grady ran this into the 1970s and there is film of that on youtube as well and at that time some coaches called it "the Grady Bump" Union would end up being Regional Champs in 1957...
