The quarterfinals of the 1994 Texas State Championship between Plano East and John Tyler High School is considered by many to be the greatest football game ever. Two undefeated high school teams came together at Texas Stadium and the winner would go on to win the state title.
Why are players, coaches and broadcasters still haunted by this game 20 years later?

@bradleyBradley-dn2uz 6 лет назад

Lol right we lost a game in 3 round of playoff back in 93..cause we kicked deep ....lost by 1 dam point ....

@nrkgalt 5 лет назад

They had to kick deep because they were ahead by 3. A squib kick means the other team gets the ball at their 35 or 40 and can get into field goal range with a couple plays. If they were up by 4+ and a touchdown was needed to beat them, then a squib kick would be the better option.

@Loial731 8 лет назад

The announcers' tears of unfathomable sadness. yummy and sweet you guys. I would love to hear the Tyler side of this experience. Going up 41-17 with 5 minutes to go thinking you had it sewed up. Watching Plano East storm back in the most improbable manner. Thinking the game is lost until Dunn breaks that return.

@MrMikeroque1 9 лет назад

Great game and great effort, but seriously... WHY kick it deep to their fastest player with 00:24 left on the clock?? That is just not a good coaching decision. Also, "I think I just wet ma britches" is so Texas. haha

@minggan2990 9 лет назад

Great video... Can hear the anguish in the announcers voices during that final kick return.

@josh.brunty Год назад

Although many consider this game to be the greatest HS game of all time, there are many historians that argue the greatest was actually the 1966 city championship game between Polk High School and Andrew Johnson High School. It was in this game that a young Al Bundy scored four touchdowns, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.

Plano East had a great season that included beating their crosstown rival, the Plano Wildcats 28-7. The Wildcats eventually won the 1994 Division I State Championship over Katy Tigers 28-7. There were some good football players in Plano that year. Not to rain on John Tyler's parade either. Rumor has it that Tyler had so much speed and size on that team, Jerry Jones was seen on the sidelines recruiting.

losing a close game is worse than losing a blowout. in a blowout you know you are going to lose. A close game plays with your emotions a lot more and you remember one play over the whole game example seahawks vs broncos Superbowl and seahawks vs patriots Superbowl.

Cosmic Kicks I think in that situation how the receiving team was lined up, they could've done a line drive that would've hopped a few times to the guy in the back or a high short kick that would've given them time to be set in position without giving up major yardage or a TD
