Brubaker Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 What's the historical perspective of back to back undefeated district championships in SETX. Dogs about to do it, just wondering where this puts them in relation to the WOS, Newton... etc dynasties of SETX. Funny that not too long ago, everyone held the lack of a district championship over Neumann's head... now the guy hasn't lost in over 2 seasons and will win 2 straight.
dogbite Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 I can see the real possibility of 2 more after this year... After that who knows... but Possibly more

Including this season, the Mustangs have only lost 1 district game since dropping to 3A. The only loss was to Silsbee in '09 when Silsbee went undefeated in district.Also recently, Evadale has had a string of district championships which I believe is at 5 straight, all undefeated.

Razor Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 from my perspective, we haven't done anything yet except clinch a playoff spot...still work to do for the Dogs
PowerMfootball Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 Finney won four district championships in a row at Maud, with the last three being undefeated seasons. This after inheriting a team that had won three games in three years and was the laughingstock of the area.

Sam Houston would be preseason correct? For The '76 and '77 seasons I included pre season. Nederland is not undefeated overall. They lost a game in preseason...so if its just district..we would have 3 in a row.

PN-G bamatex Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 [quote name="NDNation" post="1313820" timestamp="1351531987"]History repeats itself...and what goes around comes around..well enough of that! lol[/quote]There's a lot of truth to that statement....When have all of PN-G's state championship appearances happened? The '50s, '70s, and '90s. During each of those decades, there was always one school that seemed to stand in the way of perfect seasons. In the '50s and '70s, it was TJ or Lincoln depending on the specific season (although ironically, there was a year in there somewhere where we needed TJ and Lincoln to tie in the last district game to go to the playoffs, and that's exactly what happened). In the '90s, it was West Orange-Stark.Brandon Faircloth's undefeated 2009 season and the playoff run that followed were reminiscent of Danny Malone's first season as head coach in 1989, when the Indians went 9-1 (losing to WO-S in the last district game that season, 20-25) and made a state quarter-final appearance in what was the only PN-G playoff appearance of the 1980s.Ironically, head coaches that went on to be successful elsewhere didn't coach at PN-G during the highly successful odd numbered decades, they coached at PN-G only during even numbered decades. Danny Malone is now one of Nebraska's most successful head coaches at Geneva's Fillmore Central HS, and has given the University of Nerbraska Cornhuskers many of their star players. Bum Phillips coached for PN-G in the '60s. But Lew Ford and Gene McCollum, who led us to three consecutive state championship appearances in the mid '50s, took administrative positions within the district. Doug Ethridge, who led the Indians to four straight district championships, a state title, another state final appearance that set the national record for fan attendance that still stands today, a state semi-final appearance and a #3 national ranking in 1975, left the Indians in 1983 and had a mostly quiet career to my knowledge after that. And then there's Matt Burnett, who, with an excellent OC and QB pair working with him, led the Indians through the highly successful 1999 season, which ended with a 14-2 record and a heartbreaking loss to Stephenville in the state championship at the Astrodome in front of 39,000 fans, and he now has an administrative position within the district.It seems that the PN-G football program is cyclical. Odd numbered decades see astounding success at some point. We're kicking off one of those decades now, and interestingly enough, our lower grades seem to be performing very well right now....Now excuse me while I go find some wood to knock on.
Bigdog Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 one game at a time. We still have two more!
Txdragon Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Most programs are cyclical..hard to be outstanding every year.
