Reading about Zack Thomas going into the NFL Hall of Fame I remembered him going to Texas Tech and thought I remembered he was a pan handle native. So I went looking. When I saw he started HS in White Deer I thought, I never remember hearing or reading of him playing six-man. As the link below will tell WD was 2A in 1988 when Thomas led a shut-down defense to a 15 game undefeated state championship season. 5 shut-outs, 5 games of 6-7-8 points allowed. Only in the playoffs did Garden City and Rankin put up 20 points on them. They beat GC 21-20 in regionals, they won he SC 14-13 over Flatonia. Thanks to lonestarfootball.net for the details.
A West Texas kid made good, even if it was in 11 man.
