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

[downgoesfrazier]

The first game I remember was Dayton's 85 playoff game against PA Lincoln.  The first time I remember having a vested interest in a game was 89 watching Ivory Durio.  Still the best player ever in Dayton.

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

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

You are correct. I just looked it up on UIL and it was 31-13. I guess my memory isn't so good  :D

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)

Yea I graduated in 83 the year before they won it...But he was the coach the year they won it to..
And my cousin was the QB Mark Guilbeaux

I believe it was 1961 when Port Acres came to play Newton. It was raining cats and dogs and Port Acres left with a victory. I remember sitting on and swinging on the cables (actual wire cables) that surrounded the field like a fence. My buddy (Jimmy Walker) and I played coke cup football at the end of the stands. We were muddy just like the "real" football players.

Was James Brown the QB?

Yep, he was a junior my senior year.

My first football game to see was the 1982 West Brook Bruins. I was in first grade or second grade. It was awesome.

My first memory of a high school game was 1970, Silsbee vs. Jasper. It was James Hunter's junior season. I was 6 years old.

Silsbee vs LaGrange 1988 playoffs in Huntsville.

I went to games before but my first game I remember was 1988 Brazoswood at PN-G. Didn't care about the game too much (PN-G was pretty bad then) but I thought the Bucs helmets were cool! 1989 was a much more fun year.

Sidenote: us kids used to have some epic full contact cup football games by the field house when a fence seperated the field. We'd play during halftime then give high fives to the Indians when they came out. I have no clue how nobody broke any bones.

Silsbee has never played LaGrange in the football playoffs.

Sadly, yes.

Kirbyville has Kvilleballa

Silsbee has BADSANTA

At least WOS's dubious fan is actually a graduate of LCM. ;) ;D

:D

Who did Silsbee play in the round before they played Toball in the Dome in 88? After Silsbee played in the dome, who did WOS play. Sorry Aggiearewe. I don't recall every Silsbee football game ever played. Who did they play? Wasn't it CE KING? Tell me if I'm wrong.

[BADSANTA]

Also guys its not like Silsbee has had a ton of long playoff runs. I don't think they have been past the second round no more that 3 or 4 times in the schools history. The second round has just been bad to them for years.

[liltex]

I believe Silsbee beat CE King then lost to Tomball in 1988 if I remember right.But some say I'm gettin that oldtimers stuff 8)

What does that have to do with the topic which was the first HS you ever saw with some sort of awareness of the game?

You said it was LaGrange. Now you are asking if it was CE King.  ::)

The topic asks what was the first HS game (with KNOWLEDGE of) that you attended.

I already told you that you were wrong about LaGrange.

1988

Bi District  Silsbee defeated CE King
Quarterfinal Tomball defeated Silsbee

Sulphur vs LaGrange in the mid 70s...I was about 7 or 8yrs old...I caught one of the little footballs the cheerleaders throw to the crowd..but the ones I remember most was watching Anthony Byrley(sp?) in Newton in the early 80's, they got knocked out in the playoffs in a OT game.

[liltex]

Ouch,1st pad practice tommorrow and the fans are banging heads already.Gonna be a fun year for those that wish they were young again :D

The Newton game was against Cameron Yoe and it was before overtime games were played. The teams were tied with the score, tied with penetrations, and Cameron Yoe advanced on having one more first down than Newton. A heart breaker if you were a Newton fan.
