Best six-man game ever??

[coyote_king]

Anybody want to share opinions and tell us why and what six-man game was the best game you've seen??

It's a tossup for me between the ACHS vs. Bracken game in the TAPPS semi-finals last year and the ACHS vs. Ira game last year. Two great games that went right down to the final whistle.

Two years ago both BC/GC games were awesome. Two games decided by a combined 3 points.

Add to those the Rankin/BC playoff game in Forsan last year. That was a physical, hard fought game that as I recall came down to a muffed KO return in the last minute of the game.

What about Throckmorton defeating May 102-100 in 5 OT in 2008?

 

[CoachMiller]

of course i am a bit one sided here, But 1989 Guthrie Jaguars visiting the Jayton Jaybirds... Final Score:

Gusthrie 14
Jayton 13

Later that year Jayton whipped our tails in the playoffs, but for one night, that was the most awesome game I have ever been a part of as a player, coach or fan.

I remember Strawn and Richland semifinal game somewhere around 2004 or 2005. I'm pretty sure it was Tyler Ethridge freshman year.

It was 03.
Way close!
Parsons fell across the goaline for Strawn
as time expired
for the winning TD.
The crowd on one side went wild!

So many great games!
How can you pick just one?
Kinda like a Lay's potato chip.

Calvert vs Sanderson was pretty darn good

 

[coyote_king]

If your referring to the time they played for state and calvert came back, down 32 at half, that must have been a great game.. what was the story behind that game?

 

[Knowmystuff]

This has got to be one of most replayed topics on this board...here are my picks...first games I did not see and then games I did witness in person:

1967 BiDistrict Paint Creek v Hobbs
1974 State Marathon v Cherokee
1989 Guthrie 14 @Jayton 13
1989 Jayton 50 Rule 50
1994 Balmorhea v Guthrie
1995 Mullin v Revere?, Colorado
1995 Amherts v Meadow 12-12

Ones I attended:

1996 State Gordon v Whitharral
1999 Gordon v Panther Creek
2000 Aquilla v Trent
2001 Richland Springs v Woodson
2002 State Calvert v Sanderson
2003 Strawn v Richland Springs
2010 Paint Rock v Novice
2010 Garden City v Borden County

2001 RS v Woodson was the best with 96 State game 2nd

 

[undoneone]

I will agree with everthing oneday said, right down to the last statement!

 

[Bill O'Rielly]

One Day,


Weldon Valley ,CO - 58
Mullin - 44
Played in Brownwood

 

[Knowmystuff]

Thanks Bill...I couldn't remember which CO team it was....Revere played Gordon I think

 

[rycomc]

Calvert and Richland Springs use to play some pretty good games at Gatesville.

 

[Shad Kline]

Thanks Bill...I couldn't remember which CO team it was....Revere played Gordon I think

yes, it was Gordon

 

[granger]

I didn't think either of the Colorado games were great. Significant? Yes, but not that great as far as games go.... I was at both.

What oneday said about The Richland Springs-Woodson and Gordon-Whitharral games is 100% true as well. Amazing games. Lucky enough to say I was at those as well.

The Strawn-Richland Springs game where Strawn scored at the end was another. Several interesting things about that game. People thought I was crazy saying that Strawn could compete. Those two were very much alike, except one team had the big bowling ball and late in the game, he was a factor. The other thing was that I got to spend time with the legendary Gordon Wood in the press box of the stadium that bears his name. He had a great time and actually passed away later that week.

There was also the 94 playoff game between Guthrie and Balmorhea that ended with consecutive touchdowns on the last two plays. A news reporter who was at that game called me the next morning and faxed me the story and box score. Final was 71-70. Guthrie had scored to take a 70-65 lead, then kicked deep with 1 second remaining and Dutchover (I think) ran it back for the win. I had been at the Wellman-Balmorhea game the week before in Grady, so I didn't go to that

... probably because Mullin and Milford were battling it out at the same time in Hamilton in the Battle of the Bulldogs I....

 

[Morgan Eagle 84]

I remember that game between mullin an milford it was awsome. I believe the score was 30 to 31 milford..
Another great was between richland springs an calvert 2010 in moody 66 to 58 RS.. I remeber it being so cold at that game..

 

[Knowmystuff]

I was also at the Calvert v RS playoff game you are talking about in 2002 at Gatesville. A good game for sure..not great..RS kept converting on 4th and long the whole game...it was the night of Nov 29th and after the game me and 2 friends went to 6th street in Austin to celebrate my turning 21 at midnight

 

[granger]

wasn't it on Thanksgiving? or the Friday after?

Now if we want to talk the coldest game ever, there was a Strawn-Panther Creek game in Clyde maybe (or am I confused), the 1994 Amherst-Milford State Championship at Wylie where I bought a chili dog during halftime and it was just about frozen before I got back to the field... but my coldest (and HPD will attest) was the Samnorwood-Amherst game in 1994 in Silverton. That was absolutely miserable
