Galena Park North Shore Will Go For The Record In Lufkin
September 29, 2008
The Lufkin football team will play host to Galena Park North Shore, tied for the longest regular-season winning streak in Texas high school football history (72 games), on Friday, Oct. 3.
North Shore (2-0) canceled last Saturday’s game against Southlake Carroll, with which it shares the winning streak.

Lets hear it for the underdogs
September 28, 2008
I have long been a fan of underdogs and this season continues to provide me with great games featuring the underrated team either pulling off the surprise win or keeping it close with a team that clearly should have blown them out.
This weekend provided two great underdog stories in the South Central Texas area. The La Vernia Bears taking on the powerhouse Cuero Gobblers and the Industrial Cobras taking on the legendary Refugio Bobcats.
First up, the Industrial Cobras vs Refugio Bobcats. Sure, the Cobras lost to the Bobcats - that surprised nobody. The great underdog story here is that they jumped out to an early 12-0 lead and Refugio took until the fourth quarter to take the lead for good. Sure, the game exposed Industrial’s Achilles Heel called a passing game, but their running attack alone was enough to hang with the #4 ranked Refugio team. In the end it was a 32-18 win for Refugio, but it showed the Industrial players and staff that they can be a good team. Just ask the Port Lavaca Calhoun Sandcrabs if just believing in yourself can totally change a program into a winner.
Now lets talk about an underdog that not only got the win, but has people talking all over the state now - the La Vernia Bears defeating the Cuero Gobblers. You may remember in our coverage of La Vernia vs Wimberley that I walked away extremely impressed with the La Vernia Bears. The Bears weren’t satisfied to leave fans “extremely impressed,” instead they went for “shut your mouth shocked.” A 21-6 Homecoming victory over the #4 ranked Gobblers is guaranteed to get the rest of the state talking about La Vernia.
Now those are just two in the past couple days. This has been going on as long as kids have been strapping on the helmets (even back to the leather ones) and facing each other across an invisible line. The old saying is “That’s why they play ‘em,” and for me , that’s one of the big reasons I love this sport so much. I love a juggernaut as much as anyone, but give me an underdog story any day.

Ike giveth and Ike taketh away
September 22, 2008
It looked as though the only positive thing that would come from Hurricane Ike’s interruption of Texas high school football would be the possibility of Galena Park North Shore facing Southlake Carroll as they attempted to break the regular season win streak - a streak set by Southlake Carroll. Two canceled North Shore games, due to the effects of Hurricane Ike, seemed to setup the historic battle but the Galena Park school district announced that the game will not take place.
With a large area of South Central Texas still suffering the aftermath of Ike’s wrath, this matchup is another in a long line of heartbreaks albeit a small one in the grand scheme of things. Sure, it would have been historic. Sure, it would have been a blast for football fans. In the end though… yes, even football takes a back seat to the bigger picture sometimes.
