[quote]How bout you name some key recruits on those teams. Otherwise this thread will suck fat ones.
I will because I want to. There's more to a football team than the number of LOI's signed from them.
The 08 cavaliers had
QB Garrett Gilbert (UT/SMU)
QB Michael Brewer (Tx Tech/??)
WR Cade Mccrary (UT walk on)
LT Taylor Doyle (UT)
RT Padden Kelly (UT)
RB Andy Erickson (Rice)
LB Trevor Gillette (Rice)
There's more but can't remember them all
2013 Allen has Kyler Murray and some other really good players
12 Katy had a great RB Duo (Nebraska RB Adam Taylor and future D1 back Rodney Anderson) as well as a punishing O line.

No doubt they put up an incredible streak of 154 straight wins, they get a lot of criticism for playing fairly weak teams over that span (that is just opinion though)
Either way, 154 straight wins is absolutely incredible.

moeler, odessa, and carver would probably be on the list of most folks who are 50 or older ... i remember those 3 teams being mentioned the most when it comes to powerhouse hs football teams ...

Want to talk defense? EIGHT shutouts, 44 points allowed all year on a 13-0 team, 30 ypg rushing and 84 a game total avg. Five playoff games and four shutouts,only giving up 7 to Stan White and Berry in a 41-7 mauling.
Not even close to the best showing.
Try the 1983 Class AAA state champion team from Daingerfield (TX). They were the first team to go 16-0 and only gave up EIGHT points all season (six to then Class AAAA Carthage and two to Kilgore). They had 14 shutouts, including the FINAL 13 games of the season and ALL SIX PLAYOFF GAMES.
Dave Campbell has them rated the #2 top football team in Texas history (only the 1969 Longhorn national championship game was ranked higher).

I dont watch HS football. I watch SEC Football and the NFL. High school ball is for pussies and small town rednecks.

The 2010 South Panola team is the best squad that has ever come out of Batesville

I remember seeing Evangel in the 90's live once (and on TV a couple times, including beating John Curtis in the Dome). Just an awesome program, they'd likely have finished in bowl contention if they played in the SEC.

I dont know since I never saw Central play, I was on the Coast then.
I think the Parkview team I mentioned was the best but they lost in state title game because Southside broke the Wing T out and they had no clue what to do with all the motion they ran out of it.
parkview had Keith Jackson playing FS also it was crazy.

2005 Byrnes HS - Duncan, SC.
Had 9+ guys go D-1 and several ended up in the nfl. Include a young Marcus Lattimore.
Ran 4/5 wide with most of WRs being 6'3 or taller. Prince Miller (UGA) was slot WR/CB/PR and Willy Korn (Clemson) directed that offense to perfection.

1963 Tampa Robinson went undefeated and had a lot of Div 1 players...including RB Larry Smith, who would be AA and first round pick...but injured in freak airline accident after 1 year with Los Angeles Rams.
1963 Coral Gables played Robinson in state playoff game for the ages and a last minute FG won it for Larry Rentz and Coral Gables 16-14. Back in those days schools signed a lot of players who never played a snap...would sign 100 schollys and both Robinson and Coral Gables would have players sign with Bama and UGA etc etc never to be heard from again.

Vigor played in the top classification in Alabama. Teams that play in lower classifications might be very very good, but they do not face the opposition week in and out that the top class teams do.
An interesting sidenote that year(1988) was USA Today picked a different number one, Pensacola,Fl. Pine Forest. Only 60 miles away. At the end of the year there were efforts to get them together ,but the high school associations nixed the idea. This might have been the first ESPN nationally televised high school game had it been played. They actually DID meet in a charity basketball event, not a game but a skills competition. Vigor won.
A local TV station carried some Pine Forest games here. I got to see them several times. Strictly a Veer running team with a small QB and not much of a passing game. They would have been eaten alive.

1999 Evangel team in Shreveport.
Posted on 6/22/14 at 10:53 pm to genuineLSUtiger
Went to high school 2002-2006. Every single year I watched us get demolished by Hoover. Not saying they were the best in the country but they played like a well oiled machine. Want to say they won state 3-4 years while I was in HS but I could be mistaken

(Posted on 6/22/14 at 3:13 pm to Butkus51) No one has mentioned the De LaSalle teams that dominated in California. Didn't they win over 120 games in a row? [/quote]
Earlier when I said Evangel with Brock Berlin was best I saw in person I meant to also say I flew to California to see Jacob Hester's Evangel team play De LaSalle during that streak. I believe if John David Booty hadn't skipped his senior year then Evangel would have snapped the streak when they played. As it was, that DeLaSalle team I saw in person wasn't better than Brock's senior year 1999.
