According to Dave Chapelle's Texas Foosball Magazine, the 1982 Sabine Cardinals were the dirtiest team in Texas schoolboy history (watch the far right side of the screen):

This might help, unless (of course) you meant to say "whip", "whoop", or "whomp": :thumbsup:

One bad play can affect the outcome. I was involved in a game where we (a significant underdog) had managed to play to a 0-0 tie against the #4 rated team in the state. We managed to drive the ball inside the opponent's 10-yard line with 7 seconds left on the clock to attempt a game-winning field goal. The deep-snapper dribbled the ball back to the holder, he was sacked, and the game ended 0-0 (pre-overtime advent). Had it been a good snap and a good placement, the kicker still would have probably missed. Our first and second team kickers were pitiful. I was third-string kicker, so I REALLY sucked. Oggie

The White Oak player (Walter Laxson) had returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a TD. Dubberly kept taking cheap shots all night until James Pinchback steamrolled him. He threw a punch at Pinchback, the refs saw him, and they threw him out finally. I hope he can read this from Huntsville or wherever he lives now. Oggie

Here's the video of the notorious cheap shot artist Derrick Dubberly of Sabine from a 1982 football game. Just click on the picture. Watch the far right side of the screen as he slowly walks into view and then takes a running start while everyone is watching the ball. Oggie

Worst cheap shot I've ever seen was by Derek Dubberly of Sabine in a 1982 game against White Oak. We were beating them pretty bad in the first quarter and lined up to kick an extra point. While everyone's attention was on the ball going through the uprights, he took a running start and drilled one of our players in the back. He had several other cheap shots during the game and they finally kicked him out. He should have never been allowed to play again. I've got the video saved on my computer at home and will try to remember to post it. That Sabine team was the dirtiest, cheatinest bunch I've ever seen....and they suckitated! Oggie

Close....but Tripod, Conehead, and Evel have all gone on to lead productive, meaningful lives. Me and the other guy do have better looking wives, though. Tripod never married. Oggie

Yessir, 'tis true! Three out of the five went on to become productive members of society. Oggie

I am still friends with many of my former teammates from high school and college. All of the battles, the wins, the heartbreaking losses sure bring back some memories. Something else I'm very proud of is the fact that I have remained good friends with so many of my rivals from other schools. Sure, we tried to best one another on the field of play, but after the competition ended, we could all just get along. One of my favorite scrapbook photos shows me and some the best athletes to ever come out of East Texas: Though some of them no longer reside in East Texas, we still keep in touch and try to get together whenever the opportunity presents itself.

GO LUFKIN!!!! Oggie

As a quarterback, you have to be able to tune out the crowd. In almost every game I played, there was a raucous element vociferously berating me and imploring the coach to remove me from the field of play. Nine times out of ten, it was my own father and grandfather who were the most vocal. Grandpa even threw a beer bottle at me during the Gladewater game, but his arm was kind of weak by then and he hit a cheerleader instead. Dad just plain ol' hated me, but that's another story. Oggie

That is my master plan. Oggie
