2001 5A Division I State Championship: Mesquite vs San Antonio Taft

[@markgreen1584]

I ain't going to lie Robert Merrill was one of the best backs I ever played against he was running in that rain like it was dry💪🏾💪🏾

[@streetmeeche4540]

Real talk

[@billblaski9523]

Robert Merill, Chauncey Campbell, Jerrell Wilkerson, all San Antonios best RBs! Too bad none of them excelled at the next level

[@RicardoGarcia-kv8it]

17:55 them shoulder pads with a "lump" loook ridiculous. When i was high we large shoulder pads and another thing i disllike was that all through the game the coaches made us STAND no one could sit down that was crazy

Texas

[@JoeBlow-fg5cc]

My boy Mark Green!!! Freshman. Free my dawg

[@abelscaliber7969]

Damn he locked up?

[@Thisisntmyrealname331]

Why can’t we find the 2001 5A Division 2 State Championship? The Lufkin Panthers played Austin Westlake in the Astrodome! How was that NOT RECORDED?

[@fartgangtv9143]

Taft wrecked shop on Pearland in the astrodome before this, and its not recorded. Nobody cares about D2.

[@billblaski9523]

​@fartgangtv9143 lol what do u mean, theres really no difference, this isnt college. 3 teams from each district qualify for the playoffs, the school with the biggest attendance goes to the D1 bracket and the other 2 schools go to the D2 bracket, so not even the 1st place school goes to D1 bracket. Its still 5A, i just wish the two champs would play each other to determine a REAL state champ

[@kewlfx]

Cheap shot by the center at 10:03. If my memory is correct, the DT was a sought after recruit and that center tore his knee up. Completely unnecessary.

[@streetmeeche4540]

He was the best and unbelievable talent 285 4.4 speed 500 squat and bench. Went to texas still

[@ricardogarcia3444]

it was ridiculous to play outside when its the state championship. Taft got overconfident and Mesquite want that game badly and fought.

[@laqueshawatson136]

yup. while that same year my school Lufkin High beat Austin Westlake in the AstroDome..lol

[@ricardogarcia3444]

LaQuesha Watson hey i. Went to that game

[@ricardogarcia3444]

the coach from Mesquite looks like the mean actor from Dallas show lol lol

[@nathanmorales9039]

It was a safety that should of been called that would have given my RAIDERS the win period

[@stoneedskeltz770]

Where is the division ll 2001 state championship. When Lufkin defeated Austin Westlake

[@stoneedskeltz770]

At the Houston Astrodome

[@minkymott]

I know where it is. It's...oh yeah. No one cares.

[@ricardogarcia3444]

#33 of Taft thought he was going to run all over the defense lol surprise surprise. surprise

[@johnshannon3524]

Was a safety. And that DT still signed on with Texas and was a bust that transferred out.
