Nice upload. Plano and Permian were giants back in the day and this was near the end of that era.

[@Drgroomes]

Wow....i went to BOTH schools. Craziness! 9th and 10th grade at Odessa Permian. 11th and 12th grade at Plano Sr. High

[@hckyplyr9285]

That’s rare and random. Very interesting. What timeframe? Which holds your allegiance if any?

[@bobcruise945]

Thats interesting, bet that was an experience, hope it was good 👍

[@thegreatalyssa]

This was the 2nd to the last year of Plano's big winning years from 1960-1995. Then the negative change from the outsiders took over.

[@chickenjo23]

I remember Brownwood and Plano met each other twice in the semis back in the early 70's. Brownwood won the first one and Plano won on a last second field goal in 71.

[@thegreatalyssa]

@@chickenjo23 Yeah, Brownwood in '70, 35-21 and Plano in '71, 10-8. Brownwood won state in '70 and Plano won state in '71.

[@chickenjo23]

@@thegreatalyssa kept Brownwood from a 3 peat.

[@jdidz5146]

They were good 05-08 too, not sure what you mean by "negative outsiders"

[@hckyplyr9285]

Great upload. Thanks. Anyone have anything from '77, '86, or '87. There has to be a copy of that ESPN broadcast of the '87 State Championship somewhere. That was one of Chris Fowler's first broadcasts.

[@dustinrainwater7258]

man how I'd love to see Permian win state just one more time. texas high school football isn't the same without Permian being a state contender. I remember seeing a caravan of hundreds of cars engulfed in black and white balloons traveling down i-20 towards dfw in December.

[@cheezysheen2984]

Same With Plano

[@jamesfields2916]

Sad these schools along with Yates Carter, Reagan, Churchill and Stratford to name a few have faded. Got my first Texas Football Magazine in 1983 and teams in the state top ten then have dropped way off. I think Fox Tech was in that top ten.

Suburbia began to takeover

[@clintturner4995]

Does anybody have Port Neches- Groves vs Plano for the 1977 state championship?

[@hckyplyr9285]

olemissfan91 Dang right. Love to see it. I was there. 6 years old but I remember it. I remember when they had to open the upper deck to fit all the fans. It was a beautiful warm day.

[@Edwardsjt2007]

Plano should have played our 1965,72,80,84,85,88,89,91,92,93 teams. The ones they beat (77,78,87,94) were good but not the best.

[@robertcroes5827]

Jared Edwards PERMIAN and PLANO WILL always have something to be proud of! Both inspired a lot of other Programs thru out Texas, that are Winning lots of STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS!!

[@thegreatalyssa]

Plano was too small in '65. Permian was in 2-4A (the largest class at the time) and Plano was in 11-2A. Then Plano started to grow very fast and in '72 Permian was in 5-4A and Plano was in 13-4A.

[@derekrodriguez6030]

Hey post the Odessa Permian game from 1997 I know you got it
