Galena Park (0) vs Port Arthur Memorial (70) - FINAL

[1989NDN]

I know it is a money issue for the UIL and there's no turning back the calendar, but games like this one illustrate why there should only be the top two teams from each district in the playoffs.  Three and four teams from each district waters down the playoffs and creates games where the score is 70-0 with a running clock.  I'm betting PAM played things pretty vanilla in the second half with twos, threes, and the JV kids rotating in and out.  What did either team get out of that game?  PAM prayed for no injuries.  GP avoided PE and basketball season by one week and were still humiliated after an extra week of football practice.

Then you have around 20 or so #4 seeds beat #1 seeds this first round across the state.

Including PA.  What was really bad for GP is the backup QB for Memorial started 9 games
