What’s the longest you’ve ever driven for a HS football game?

In 1996 I was working in Stavanger Norway and I flew 4,846 miles to Houston, then drove 265 miles to Ft Worth, picking up my son in Huntsville on the way, to see Tenaha play Windthorst for the Class A championship game. Then on Monday, I returned to Norway. 

In 1998, I flew from Dammam Saudi Arabia, 7,927 miles, to see Tenaha play Wheeler for the Class A Championship game in Ft Worth. 

Ok, the rules have changed, everybody out of the pool, all bets are off.  Worked for Dupont in Singapore in '93 & '94 and on visit home, 9,950 miles later took in the WOS vs LaMarque playoff game in Houston or Pasadena, can't  remember which. Also cool was two months later watching on a Monday morning on live TV as Dallas beat Buffalo in the Superbowl, then I ate breakfast.  Next!!

I believe the title does say "longest you have ever driven" not fly.

Carry on.

There and back same day

I have driven to Ratliff stadium in Odessa 3 times. I have a friend that lives in San Angelo. Each trip I have driven to her house on Thursday, spent the night, then drove to Odessa the next morning. Attended the game on Friday night, then drove back to San Angelo. Spent the night, then drove back to my house on Saturday. Each trip was for the explicit purpose of watching Odessa Permian. Does it count if you spread the trip out over a few days?

I've also driven to Lubbock twice. The purpose was to watch a Texas Tech game, but took in a Wollforth Frenship game once, and a Shallowater game on the other trip. The explicit purpose for the trips was the Texas Tech games, but purposely got there on Friday, early enough to attend the High School games. Does this count?

I once drove just over the border to Louisiana to watch North Shore vs. Port Arthur. Yeah mapquest gave me wrong directions. 

Furthest trip would be Houston to Dallas in 2018 and 2019 for North Shore's two championship wins.

From my driveway to Cowboys Stadium - 552.6 mile round trip 

That would be 606 miles round trip for me. Went watch the Bruins give away a state championship.

TECHNICALLY, I didnt drive to these but longest I've traveled for a HS football game

 

As a fan, Beaumont to Aldine to watch Central vs Bay City 2003 playoffs. That Central team should have gone to state. One of the best high school defenses I ever saw.

 

As a player, Beaumont to Katy. For West Brook vs Katy.

Houston to Dallas for the state championship! Let's go!

Probably Ned vs Harker heights at Bryan stadium in playoffs years back

That was 2003 I think. Or somewhere around there.

I doubt it. Has to be a guy or two that came home from Korea and left base to explicitly go to a football game. Think that's why title says driven.

Longest- approx. 642 miles total trip all one day. Lubbock to Arlington to Winnie. Headed home for Christmas break and stopped in Arlington to watch PNG vs Plano 1977 state championship game.

Second longest- approx 628 miles round trip all 1 day. Winnie to Arlington back to Winnie for 1980 state championship game TJ vs Permian.

Labor day weekend I' going to Holiday for the Holiday vs Eastland game. One of my best friends is a coach at Holiday. That will be Beeville to Holiday approx 427 miles one way, 854 round trip, not all in one day.

Not so much  as distance but my hubby and I went to Texas Stadium to see the Stangs play Ennis. Then to ATT Stadium to see Silver and Blue beat them Red Mustangs. From Spring Texas to Dallas.
