2nd Largest Classification Playoff Stats 1948-2006

Prior to 1948 only the largest classification had a playoff bracket that continued all the way to a State Champion. Before 1948 the lower classifications only played one or two playoff rounds with more than 20 regional champions crowned some years. The following are records compiled from the first year that a true 2nd State champion was crowned in 1948 through the 2006 playoffs: the second largest classification over the years was 1A 1948-1950, 3A 1951-1979 and 4A from 1980-2006 and those are the records which are included in the statistics listed below. Overall, there have been only 398 different programs which have qualified for a playoff berth in the 2nd largest classification over the past 59 seasons. Almost one-quarter of the overall total (24%) participated in the 2006 4A playoffs with 96 teams qualifying.

In order to maintain such a percentage a team must on average, make it past the 3rd round of the playoffs every playoff appearance (losing in the 3rd round gives a 2-1-0 record which is a 66.67% winning percentage).

The following is just a portion of several posts to come to eventually comprise a complete index of the 1128 programs past and present statewide to ever qualify for a berth in an official UIL 11-man football playoff tournament. I'm starting with current active programs and working my way down. The data is already compiled and stored, I just have to cut, paste and post, which takes time in itself. In order to make finding teams of interest a little easier, instead of posting by districts, I'm making 4 longer posts for each region in each classification, with all teams in the same region and class listed alphabetically. The complete database has almost 15,000 entires that were hand entered so there will no doubt be errors. I apologize in advance and will quickly correct any that are pointed out.

The information listed in the tables is very basic, but hopefully informative. The numbers at the top are simply total number of appearances and the all-time win-loss-tie record. The columns are listings of individual years, classification and subclassification (division 1 or 2), playoff advancement and the win-loss-tie total for each particular year. On-the-field records were used in calculating all win-loss totals listed.

The playoff advancements are color-coded, and the rules used in naming rounds of advancement are as follows:

Only teams that played in a state championship game are listed in blue with the actual winner listed in Bold
Teams that made the final 4 or 8 of their respective brackets are listed in Red and this includes the lower classification regional champs and regional finalists that did not have the opportunity to play for a state title.
Teams that advanced at least past the first round but did not advance far enough to make the final 8 of their tournaments are listed in Green


Complete records of every current 1A, 2A, 3A and 5A program in the state are already posted at the links below. Similar postings for all historical playoff programs that no longer exist are in the works
