What was the 1st HS football game you saw? (with knowledge of the game)

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Went to a bunch in the late 80s early 90's but the first one i went to and understood what was going on out there was watching Jasper absolutely destroy Lincoln in the late 80s early 90s timeframe.

[WOSgrad]

Port Neches-Groves at West Orange-Stark, Week 10, 1979.  Battle for the 22-5A District Championship.  WO-S wins 28-24.

[JSnipes]

I might have some of the facts wrong here but this is the first game I remember watching...I was 5 or 6

1988 (could have been 89) PNG vs. A&M Consolidated at the Astrodome. I believe A&M won 35-0

[PN-G bamatex]

The earliest game I remember was the '99 State Championship. I was in the first grade and didn't fully understand what was going on, but I think I knew the basics.

The thing I remember most about that game, though, was the SEA of purple covering the Astrodome. That was an awesome sight.

Fuzzy on facts, about 5 or 6, Wallace High got beat 100-0 by Galveston at Lutcher Stark football field.

My first football game was the last  year of Lamar football.  I was a little kid and I didn't know what was going on.  All I remember was rolling down the hills at LU Stadium.  The game that I actually do remember was '92 or '93 I believe.  Central Vs. West Brook.  Beaumont bowl.  I remember seeing Leeland McElroy whipping some booty.

Since I played football at French I always Knew :)..But when I was little I always watched them on T.V. The first game I went to in Person which made me want to play was when I was in the 3rd or 2nd grade and I watched Beaumont Hebert beat Gainsville in the state game by like 4tds... (back then it was the pvil)...

Game i remember more than any @ Bronco stadium 1966 bi-dist game.Bronchos(how it was spelled back then)up 7-0 w/under 2 min.to play & Hardin-Jefferson driving.H-J scores 6 w/seconds left.H-J behind on penetrations goes for 2.Recievers are well covered and just before the qb gets sacked he lobs the ball right in the middle-up for grabs and the CENTER catches the arrant wobbly pass and the umpire signaled a score.There were fans furious on the Dayton side and the coaches ran on the field in protest.Protest denied H-J wins 8-7.Game protested in Austin,ruling stood as called.Tat game was a war defensively.We were p-oed for months/years.I posted a long time ago the game was w/HF and it was H-J >:( 8)

[liltex]

In 1963 I remember Liberty running up the score @ our house 72-6.The panther waterboy scored.We stank that night.Still want payback today guess that's why we don't play anymore.

I played in that game and we shut Leeland down on a goal line stand for 4 downs inside the 5 yard line. It was the football season of 1991. WB won!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Was James Brown the QB?

The year was definitely 1989. The score however, I don't recall it being that big of a blow out (could be wrong).

[NHS1990]

The first game I remember was in 1979, Nederland at Lufkin. I remember it, b/c I had a cousin playing on each team. I don't recall the score, but Lufkin won the game.  I remember being upset afterwards.

[adminbaberuth]

Off topic but seen some great ones.

TJ's Cotton Speyer
BC's Steve Worster
Lincoln's Joe Washington
PNG's Jeff Bergeron
Silsbee's James Hunter

[Guest UHCoog14]

Did not know Coach Shaver. My cousin  Gene Isabell,  Sr.  was HC there for a few years.

I can remember watching them play Mojo in the state finals. (after he had left there unfortunately)

[BRONX ROX]

I believe it was 1986 Dayton blew liberty out like 60 to 20. I wasnt old enough to understand Xs and Os but knew a butt whippen when I saw one. First game I remember  ;)
