And like Alto in 1995, Garrison in 2001 probably wins state against ANY team other than Celina. Heck, if those teams had played five times, Garrison might've won four of 'em, they were that good.

Lambo Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I'm answering this question strictly based on teams I have seen with my own 2 eyes. 3. 2005 Big Sandy Wildcats 2. 2007 Alto Yellow jackets 1. 2017 Carthage Bulldogs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yessir Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Garrison / 94-95 year man they were just as good as alto.Alto I believe beat us 6 to 2 and garrison dropped two touchdown passes on one drive but that backfield of Vicky tutt mark woodard and Chad Henderson was tough with Sed Harton o defense man it was something to see d line and o line were mean big and nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon R. Sanders Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I know it’s been awhile on this thread but heard the sad news the great Johnny Hurndon had passed away. “Johnny B” played in 3 State Championships. As a sophomore, he was part of the 1983 team that I have written about. He was a member of a 6 deep running back squad who shined in the Semi-final and State Games showcasing his speed and lateral movement. He played with his brother Ed “A Team” Hurndon, who played left tackle on offense. I enjoyed my several interviews with Johnny B, he was always entertaining, had a great memory, and was a kind man. He had a hard life after his accident but always kept his attitude positive and no one who saw him run will ever forget him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That state title game against Celina was an all-time classic. Jackets probably win state if it was against anyone but that Celina team. And 2014 Gilmer shouldn’t have even played for the title. Daylon Mack got that first down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against what other teams are you saying? All classifications? Surely that’s not what you’re saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that’s not what I said last year lol. I meant Garrison could have and probably WOULD have beaten every other team in 2A. Just ran into an historic team on an historic streak, and luck was a bit on the Bobcats side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgs.swarm Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Another wild card team is the 2013 Corrigan team. First and only 10-0 team ran through the playoffs and lost to waskom by 2 on a botched 2 point conversion in the 4th round. I do strongly say that team goes on to beat Refugio and then give Cisco and good run in the state game. Team was full of athletes and big mean dudes. Johnson and Mitchell rushed for however many yards they wanted a game I don’t know how many they racked up that season. Plus a 2 headed monster duo at fullback that also toted the load.

Seriously, that Refugio team beat Waskom by 30 that year. I could certainly understand if the Refugio/ Waskom game was close but to assume that they would have beaten Refugio is reaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the 2013 CC team was 10x more physical than them we slapped them around like no one else could that year just tough luck for the dogs that night. CC would have matched up a lot better against Refugio than waskom did imo just on the basis of physicality not to mention the however many thousand yards of rushing the backfield had. Just one of those what if scenarios though… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that Johnnie H. was nfl talent but a car wreck damaged his eye really bad. I had the fortune of watching Johnnie clear 6'+ in parachute pants at track practice once after our track coach got on to him about giving his jumpers a hard time. I don't remember how tall Johnnie was but he was clearly shy of 6'. Johnie Hurndon's grandson, Jaden Hurndon is on track to be the next great Longview WR. '28 class, already 6'0 and when I say that he can play....kid is a monster. Edited July 19, 2023 by ANTI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely I believe they knocked CC out in the playoffs in 89 not entirely sure but I believe that was the case. Another state caliber CC team that season the Indians were just too much with Rodney to handle though. One of many great 80s Groveton teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
