Tiger Pride!

Good luck to the Daingerfield Tigers in their quest to win the school's third-straight Class 2A Texas state football title this weekend.  DHS (Class of '83 rules, by the way!) will face-off against Cameron Yoe at 6 p.m. PT Saturday night at Newsom Stadium in Mansfield. 

Daingerfield is 13-1 on the season and had three players on the AP all-state first team, including Texas-bound LB Steve Edmond who was named the state's defensive player of the year.  The Tigers survived a scare from Littlefield in last weekend's semifinals, scratching out an 18-9 win in Brownfield.  Second-team all-state QB Tyler Boyd led a 15-play, 86-yard drive to keep the clock moving and secure the win.

Seeing the Tigers having such great success is a reminder of the great Daingerfield teams of the early 1980's.  The dominant 1983 team scored 631 points, allowed just 8 points (a safety & an interception return) and posted 14 shutouts.  Here is an interesting YouTube video about the '83 team.
