1.  87 years - Whitesboro (fielded 1st varsity team prior to beginning of UIL playoffs in 1920, Zero playoff appearances)

2. 87 years - Nevada Community (fielded 1st varsity team prior to beginning of UIL playoffs in 1920, Zero 11-man appearances but spent many years in 6-man football)

3.  60 years - Fort Worth North Side (last appearance in 1946)

4. 54 years - North Dallas  (last appearace in 1952)

5.  52 years - Diamond Hill-Jarvis (last appearance in 1954)

6. 50 years - Cleveland Tarkington (last appearance in 1956)

7. 45 years - Boys Ranch (fielded 1st eligible team in 1962, zero appearances)

8. 42 years - Palacios (last appearance in 1964)

9. 41 years - Lumberton (fielded 1st varsity team in 1966, zero appearances)

Palacios' claim to fame is that they currently have a 5 game winning streak in playoff games as they won the 2A state title in 1964 and have never made the playoffs since.

ALL these droughts are about to come to an end. Really. Sooner or later, all schools will be in the playoffs. Even if they are 0-10, and lose by an average of 50 points/game. The UIL will see to it. Mark my words.

But WO-S has been a school about 40 years less than Nederland or PN-G.

Just curious.  WOS had predecessor schools, Orange Stark, and West Orange.  Just about every town in SE Texas used to have two schools which were combined due to integration.  But, we don't quit counting their school records.  You WOS guys tell me if I am right about this.  As I remember it, Orange Stark voted to disband, and were assigned to West Orange by the state.  Was it not a shotgun wedding of sorts in order for Stark to share in the chemical row tax revenues?  So, why does not at least the West Orange record roll forward?  ??? 

Maybe that record was not all that great.  ???    ;D

Just curious.  And just kidding.  :)

The general rule for most record keepers that I've talked with on that is if the school name and/or the school mascot stayed the same then it's counted as a continuation of the same school (for example when South Park merged with West Brook in 1986, the West Brook Bruins remained the West Brook Bruins). Conroe McCullough and The Woodlands are considered the same entity because all that happened in 1996 was they built a brand new building and moved all the kids from the exact same geographic attendance zone to the new high school and McCullough became the junior high.  The athletics department was exactly the same and they remained the Highlanders.

In the case of LC-M and PN-G, only Little Cypress High and Port Neches High had varsity football programs so it wasn't actually two football programs merging, the mascots stayed the same, and the coaching staff was exactly the same,  even though the school's names became hyphenated. 

In the case of WO-S you had two separate UIL sanctioned varsity programs with two competely different traditions coming together to form a completely new tradition with a (not very original) new name and a new mascot. The West Orange Chiefs which had only been in existence since 1956 and the Stark Tigers which went back to 1909 in the UIL books.  If forced to choose one of the two West Orange had a much better track record than Stark did.

Lumberton better drop down to 3A in hopes of maybe tying for third place there... ;)...Could Lumberton beat Silsbee, WOS, or Kirbyville on a yearly basis?? Maybe they should drop to 2A then ;D..Seriously, I remember one year when they had a pretty decent QB and threw the ball all over the place and they scored a lot of points!  Heck, I think we beat them 47-44 that year when I was at Ozen...May have been 2000 or 2001 season.  They were not bad that year.  All I know is that we beat them like a tied up goat in basketball those years, and their fans would throw COINS at our kids during the games at their place!!  :o That was crazy!

Vidor almost won state in 1964.  We tied the game and lost by penetrations I believe.   :'( :'( :'(  If someone remembers what the tiebreaking decision was let me know.

Vidor has never been to the final game. One year in the early 60's they went to the quarterfinals or the semifinals. They might have tied that game but lost on penetrations. The UIL does not award title games by penetrations. Before the recent tiebreakers went into effect, co-state championships were awarded. I think the most recent around her was Beaumont French High School in 1984 when they tied Odessa Permian.

I stand corrected.  I remember that now.

Very, very funny. Actually, WO-S is three schools - West Orange, Stark and Wallace High. Wallace actually won at least one state title under coach Willie Ray Smith, so I guess we have three now.

heh

You Jasper guys will try anything to level the field.

Just kidding.

      John Cornyn Will Be Primaried In 2026!

      I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure.

      Texarkana Texas (28) vs Port Neches-Groves (31) - FINAL

      WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
