What was the best memory of the football games played during your time as a student their?

I'll start by cheating.

The year after I graduated, the '90 team ruined Bell perfect season. Tommy Maddox & co. suffered their first loss at the hands of mighty Trinity. Reddell called for an intentional safety. Remember that?

Hey, I remember that!! I graduated in '87, but that was my sister's senior year. That was a great game!!

It was a very smart play. Bell would get the 2 points , but had to kick the ball back to us. We could run out the clock.

Why would Bell have to kick to us? If you give up a safety, you kick to them.

Don't particularly remember this, but it probably had something to do with Trinity being backed up deep. You can punt, but risk a block or giving up a short field for a TD, or you can take the safety, kick it deep (on a free kick) and play defense.

If memory serves me correctly, there was less than a minute left. The safety did two things, run time off the clock and pin Bell deeper than a punt would have.

The 4th down play was a deep fly route to the recievers. First off, going for it on 4th down with less than a minute to go being up by three points was very confusing to the defense. The play started from the Trinity 30 or so. By the time Bell figure out what was going on the QB was already in the endzone. They came after him and by the time he had ran around and around and was fianlly forced out of the endzone for the safety, he had run 30+ seconds off the clock.

Then they punted the ball from the 40, as oppose to punting with the 30 being the line of scrimage. Bell got the kickoff deep, had to field it and started from deep in their own territory. They had less than 30 seconds to go at least the 50-60 yards that would be needed for a long field goal attempt against a team that had only allowed on TD in the game. They didn't of course.

Hey I was as shocked as anybody else that he called an intentional safety, but it worked.

I know this is an old string but have just recently found the site.

Best memory #2! 1982 Homecoming Bryan ranked #1 in the state, both teams undefeated, Trinity wins 14-13 after stuffing future NFLer Rod Berstien on the 2pt conversion.

Best Memory #1! 1982 Regional playoffs, Permian is Ranked #1 in the state, comes in with a 38-0-3 record, in fact they had not lost a game since September of 1979. Trinity trailing in the 4th quarter puts together an 87 yard 16 play drive that eats up 10:52 off the clock, "No pitch Fitch" scores from the 1 on a keeper and then Jerry Lindsey scores the 2pt conversion to win the game....."No MO MOJO"

I like that. "No MO MOJO".

The game you're thinking about was in 1989. Bell was undefeated until they played Trinity.

If memory serves me correctly, the QB didn't run around in the end zone, he threw the best pass he'd thrown in the whole game straight through the goal posts.

Not the way I remember it. He ran, took some time off the clock.
