When I was asked to write a column about the greatest defensive team I ever covered in Texas high school football, it didn�t take me long to think about the 1983 Daingerfield Tigers.

So, I hope this column helps some of you reflect back on the memories, while also sparking some friendly and passionate debate among the best high school fan base in America, Texas high school football.
