Football

The 1983 team holds the NFHS national record for most shutouts in a single season and considered the most dominant in Texas history. The team scored 631 points while allowing only 8 the entire season (a touchdown to then Class 4A Carthage and a safety to Kilgore). Of the 16 games won (the first Texas high school to win 16 games in a season), 14 were shutouts[ranks#1 national 11 man football single season record as recorded on NFHS.org] including the final 13 (the final seven of the regular season and all six playoff games, the only team in Texas high school football history to accomplish the latter feat). ^[3] The 50th Anniversary Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football nominated the 1983 team as the #2 most memorable team (pro, college, or high school) in Texas football history; only the 1969 Texas Longhorn national championship team was rated higher.^[4]
