South Houston comes up with a huge victory that saved their state playoff lives,...
Why didn't someone tell Pasadena, Sam Rayburn, Pasadena Memorial and South Houston that about five years ago?
Now just like that, South Houston went from hardly any chance of reaching the state playoffs at the start of October to clinching a state playoff berth at the end of October. Head coach Patrick Longstreet, who won his 20th game as the Trojans head coach, the first South Houston head coach in 10 years to do so, was ecstatic to say the least.
The only way Memorial can now keep its season alive is by beating first-place Channelview. Should South Houston lose to Deer Park, leaving the Trojans at 3-3 with Dobie, South Houston still advances, while the Longhorns go sit at home based on Friday night's upset. It had been a whopping 15 years since any Pasadena ISD opponent had shut out Dobie with Memorial being the last to do it, winning 44-0 in October of 2007. All told, the Longhorns watched 61 consecutive games of not being shut out by a PISD foe go down the drain.
A second reason Dobie failed to find the scoreboard was due to South Houston's offense chewing up some major clock. The team's shortest scoring drive was seven plays. The other three went for 15, 11 and 10 plays.
