Mods move if you want, but I think everyone should watch this. Plano East vs John Tyler. Do you guys remember this? I remember seeing these highlights, but haven't thought about in a long time. Did anybody on here go to these schools? Watch the whole thing and listen to the announcers. Crazy, funny, heartbreaking, etc.

Definitely remember that game and I remember being super excited when I saw Sports Center doing a feature on it.

Most of my relatives in Texas attended John Tyler. If I hadn't moved to OKC when I was 8 y/o I'd have went there myself.

I remember that too.

I lived in Plano for a bit so this was a big deal back then, especially when it made Sports Center.

I feel really bad for Plano, but I can't help but laugh my ass off every time I see this. What a horrible way to lose.

What?!

Living in Texas, you're telling me you never saw this? This was on Sports Center for weeks as well.

I know those announcers sound like bumbling hicks but there is nothing like simple and pure high school football. It is a really exciting game to be involved with.

Nope, had never seen it. Maybe it happened during my dark ages when I was snorting shit up my nose more often than watching TV.
