The Temple Wildcats
Temple, Texas is located 40 minutes south of Waco and an hour north of Austin. The town of 66,000 has made 8 appearances in football State Championship games, coming away with just 2 victories. The most recent title was won in 1992, with the most recent appearance being this year (loss to Aledo).
The Wildcats are lead by coach Mike Spradlin who was named head coach in February of 2011. Spradlin looks forward to the play of Senior QB Chad President and Senior RB Jeff Carr. The Wildcats have a high powered offense that just might lead them to a State Championship.
The Others
Aledo: This small town west of Fort Worth is known for its recent football supremacy. With 7 all time appearances in State Championship games (6 since 1998) and 6 titles, the Bearcats are always a contender!
Allen: The rise of the Allen Eagles has been rather quick. Allen finished this season ranked the #1 team in the nation, after 3 straight undefeated seasons. Allen has won all 4 title games they've played in.
Cedar Hill: Just southwest of Dallas, Cedar Hill is home to Joey McGuire's Longhorns. Cedar Hill has racked up 3 straight State Championship appearances with 2 titles. They also won a title in 2006.
Cedar Park: Established in 1998, Cedar Park has become a power in recent years. After a State Championship in 2012, the Timberwolves made it to another final this past year.
Cy Ranch: Established in 2008, Cy Ranch has quickly risen the ranks of TXHSFB due to an outstanding coaching staff. 2014 marked their first appearance in a State Championship, but the Mustangs were overwhelmed by the Allen Eagles.
Desoto: Desoto has become well known for early exits from the high school playoffs. With 6 10 win seasons since 2004, and loads of talent every year, many people wonder why the Eagles have yet to win a State Championship.
Ennis: 5 State Championship appearances, 5 State Championships. The Ennis Lions are known for their composure in big games. 2014 was their first trip to the big show since 2004, but the Lions topped Cedar Park to win their 5th title.
Euless Trinity: In 5 State Championship appearances the Trojans have walked away winners 3 times. Trinity is known for playing physical football and beating you with their size (huge Samoan kids everywhere).
Denton Guyer: Guyer was founded in 2004, and the Wildcats won back to back State Championships in 2012-2013. They also appeared in the 2010 title game. A second round matchup with Southlake Carroll sent Guyer home earlier this year.
Katy: With 7 State Championships the Katy Tigers are one of the most decorated programs in Texas football history. The Tigers have played in 13 title games, and have lost 2 straight to Cedar Hill.
Lake Travis: The house that Chad built. That's right, SMU HC Chad Morris got the FBS call up when he was the HC at Lake Travis. Morris led the Cavaliers to 5 straight State Championships from 2007-2011. Lake Travis has not reached the title game since.
Pearland: The Oilers have a rich tradition, but only 2 appearances in the title game. Their only State Championship was a win over Euless Trinity in 2010.
