2010 ALL-SMOAKY.COM EAST TEXAS H.S. FOOTBALL TEAM

Coach of the Year

Dickey Meeks, Henderson

This was one of the most difficult decisions to make with both Barry Bowman of Daingerfield and Scott Surratt of Carthage finishing off the rare three-peats. However, Dickey Meeks led Henderson to their first-ever state championship in his fourth-year with the Lions. Meeks and Henderson were 11-29 in the previous four seasons, but everything changed in 2010 with the Class 3-A, Division I State Championship win against Meeks� former program, Chapel Hill.

Game of the Year

Jacksonville 84 Nacogdoches 81 (12-Overtimes)

Jacksonville kicker Rodrigo Carreon ended the madness with a 19-yard field goal at 12:54am, 5 � hours after kickoff. The win clinched a playoff berth for Jacksonville, and eliminated the playoff hopes for Nacogdoches.

The 12-Overtime game set a national record.
