Welcome to the expanded 5A Team Histories page!

Due to the increasing awkwardness and large size of the old page I've divided things up in to classifications for convenience and efficiency. Complete histories going back to the first season of UIL varsity competition are posted for ALL 246 teams (100%).

[WOS87]

Sorting through all of the histories I've put together I was shocked when I realized how many 5A programs I had compiled in full, completely all the way back to the beginning (I'm up to 100 currently as of 2/02/08).

Then when I put them all in chronologic order I found that there are a lot of very young schools in the 5A classification currently. Less than 1/3 of the current 5A schools (only 77 out of 245) existed in 1951 when the UIL started the 5 classification system. That means 168 current 5A schools have opened over the past 57 years which averages out to about 3 schools opening per year.

This is a table of the 245 programs in the state that are currently classified as 5A (according to the 2008-2010 alignment). They are listed in reverse chronologic order by first official season in UIL varsity competition. For those programs that got their start prior to 1910, they predate the UIL, so they are listed by the first year that there is a verifiable game on record for that program. The ranking in the far left column is the all-time winning percentage ranking comparing schools from each decade. Please let me know of any errors or omissions and I will gladly correct them.

[WOS87]

When comparing the achievements of various programs over the years, a lot of people tend to discount success in a lower classification compared to success in the largest classification. The following may be pointless trivia to some but hopefully some will find it interesting. I wanted to see just which programs have logged the most time competing at the highest level and after rather tedious work, came up with the following tables.

Largest Classification Seniority

What you have below are the 61 schools aligned to 5A Region I for 2008, the 59 schools aligned to 5A Region II, the 60 schools aligned to 5A Region III and the 66 Region IV schools ranked in descending order by the number of seasons competing in UIL varsity district competition in the largest existing classification, counting back all the way to when the UIL introduced the 5 classification system in 1951. The columns from left to right indicate:

Rank - the rank for the region of schools who have competed the most seasons in the largest existing classification. Ties were broken by total number of wins in the largest class.

Dist - the district in which the school in question will compete in the 2008 season

School - the team in question. (The records of Haltom include the records prior to 1961 during which the school was known as Birdville High, but the mascot was still the Buffaloes, and as far as I know used the same campus). The same applies to San Angelo High, which became San Angelo Central in 1958 and Tyler High, which became Tyler John Tyler in 1958 as well.

Class - due to the shift in the naming of the 5 classifications in 1980 the largest classification has been both 4A (prior to 1980) and 5A (since 1980). Since Class 4A in the 1970's and earlier and Class 5A in the 1980's and later are equivalent, the records of those periods were combined:
The Largest existing classification is indicated by 5A/4A
The 2nd largest by 4A/3A
The 3rd largest by 3A/2A
The 2nd smallest by 2A/1A
The smallest by 1A/B

Yrs - the total number of seasons competing in varsity district play in each of the classifications listed going back either to the beginning of the program or back to 1951 for the older schools. The maximum number is 57 years (1951-2007)

W/L/T/Win % - the total wins/losses/ties and winning percentage logged by each team while competing in each of the classifications.

Seasons competing - the range of years during which each school was aligned to each of the classifications.

Class 5A Region I Seniority

6 Region I schools have competed in the largest class all 57 seasons: Amarillo, Abilene, San Angelo Central, Lubbock, Odessa and Fort Worth Paschal.
Only 8 Region I schools have spent time in all 5 of the classifications since 1951: Coppell, Southlake Carroll, Duncanville, Wylie, Burleson, Keller, Allen & Cedar Hill. Southlake Carroll is the only one with a winning record in all 5.




Class 5A Region II Seniority

Only 1 Region II school has competed in the largest class all 57 seasons: Tyler John Tyler.
Only 8 Region II schools have spent time in all 5 of the classifications since 1951: Spring, Copperas Cove, Round Rock, De Soto, A&M Consolidated, Leander, Klein & New Caney. None of them have winning records in all 5 classes but A&M Consolidated comes the closest.




Class 5A Region III Seniority

5 Region III schools have competed in the largest class all 57 seasons: Houston Lamar, Baytown Lee, Galveston Ball, Houston Milby and Pasadena High.
Only 4 Region III schools have spent time in all 5 of the classifications since 1951: Deer Park, Pearland, Alief Hastings and Humble. Deer Park is the only one to have a winning record in all 5 classes. Alief Hastings is the school that took the shortest amount of time to traverse all 5 classifications, rapidly growing from a smallest classification school in 1969 to a largest classification school just 7 years later in 1976.




Class 5A Region IV Seniority

Only 2 Region IV schools have competed in the largest classification all 57 seasons: Austin SFA and Laredo Martin.
Only 8 Region IV schools have competed in all 5 classifications since 1951: Converse Judson, Mission Sharyland, Laredo United, San Antonio Marshall, San Antonio East Central, San Antonio Southwest, Los Fresnos and Pflugerville. Pflugerville competed in both 6-man and 8-man football from 1951-1959 making them the only school in the entire state to have competed in 7 distinct divisions of U.I.L. varsity football competition in the modern era.

Why am I getting this error when I try to look at The Woodlands' Team History? I'm logged into my account.

An Error Occurred

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

Unfortunately, I don't think we have the team histories anymore. Sorry.

[DEL VALLE]

I get the same error, thought it was just me, wondered what happened??

[WestlakeTech]

Pretty sure they disappeared when the District & Team section did. Most of them didn't get updated past 2008 anyway. WOS87 has been MIA for a while. And that's gotta be pretty tedious keeping up with all of those.

Some good information on there, alot of history that went back to the beginning, that was one thing that no other site had.

I was still posting information for DV, they should let certain folks access to enter information to keep it updated.
