Greatest comeback in Texas high school history

[cartman]

Senator's post about the 45,000+ going to see the Southlake-Trinity game reminded me of another classic high school game played at Texas Stadium back in '94. It was Tyler John Tyler vs. Plano East. I did a YouTube search, and sure enough someone had posted it. Here is a link to a vid of the final few minutes. Simply incredible.

LOL... I'm sorry, but I HAD to laugh after that huge comeback the other team returns the kickoff for a TD :D.

Kudos, Cartman. I was trying to find this on YouTube a few weeks ago and couldn't find it. I remember watching this on SportsCenter when I was in college. Amazingly enough, I think ESPN showed more of the highlights than are even in this clip. One of the play-by-play guys admonished all the Plano East fans who had left the game, calling them out for "giving up on your kids!" For the next year, whenever we were watching a game or playing Sega and there was big comeback we would start yelling "giving up on your kids!"

That and "Jesus good god almighty."

I was accidentally at this game. It was one of the wildest endings I had ever seen. I mean, for 3 3/4 quarters you were just waiting for the clock to run out, and then they started the comeback, only to lose.

It was the second best high school game I ever witnessed, bumped only by the Vernon vs Southlake Carrol game from around '98.

Thanks for digging this up, it brought back many memories. We had about a 2 hour drive home after the game, and the three guys I was with, none of us said a word. We just kept looking at each other and shaking our head.

Vernon and Southlake played a lot of great games when they were both in 3A. Was it maybe the '92 playoff game in Bedford when the final score was 39-35? If I remember, Southlake was losing by 9 or 10 at halftime, their first time to trail during a game in over two seasons.

That is the one, with Dexter Butler the stud RB from Vernon. I didn't think it was 92, I thought it was later than that. It was so crowded at that game, they could not have squeezed one more person in. Butler was a one man wrecking ball, and then he fumbled going into the Southlake endzone as the game was winding down.

Dola,

I was sitting here thinking about it, and you know what, it sure might have been '92. Wow, time can just vault past you!

[Vinatieri for Prez]

This game actually made the Damn Sports Show/Fox Sports list of sports all-time fantastic finishes. It was number 20-something. They showed all the kicks and the runback. Pretty amazing. Good golly almighty, I just went in my britches.
