My my how times have changed......


Recommended Posts

After reading one of the threads on here (SE Texas Football championships), I got to re-looking at some of the old Hull-Daisetta stuff from the 1930's when they set the then national record for consecutive wins with 43 from 1936-1939. I was gonna post on the thread my argument that HD has been to at least 5 championship games, since back in the old days, smaller schools only played to a Regional Championship as opposed to state championship. Anyway, all that aside, I was just amazed when looking at the scores from those seasons, and even more-so with the schools that HD was playing. I'm going to post the season scores below for those four seasons. Notice that several of the schools on the list are no longer open (since combining or opening newer high schools) and that all the current schools on the list are 3A, 4A, 5A, or split up to now be multiple high schools! Every town on here, EXCEPT Hull-Daisetta has gotten bigger by leaps and bounds. Just wanted to share.....

Somewhat amazing how much has changed over nearly 75 years. Not sure if Hull-Daisetta could beat any of the teams on these schedules now. Hard to believe that little town was able to accomplish that so long ago.

Go Bobcats!!!

Yeah, that was back when 21 year old roughnecks still suited up and played for HD.  Or so i've been told.
[/quote]Heck that was the case everywhere. Sour Lake, Liberty, Dayton, Nederland and Beaumont French for sure. Don't try to take away from an amazing 4 years. Remember the Beaumont area was the spindletop. No regulations, so i'm sure there was a few kids older than 18 on many teams.

I'm not from here, but i have been here for some 20 years and a local coach just gave me  a dvd with the world claiming Beaumont, Texas as home of the PROS it was 16 NFL players playing at the same time in the pros and they were from just two schools in Beaumont that was CP and Hebert so if the school you guys write so much about like the PNG, Nederland, WOS, Dayton,Vidors BH, and HD; well where were your teams then and if all the schools were playing UIL History would not read the same.

The answer to this is a big no. Not taking anything away from that 4 year run but I do not see one team HD would even make a game with today.

Heck, back in those days aTm even won a national championship
