Ranked #37 Pearland High (Texas) faced the #5 ranked Eules Trinity High (Texas) for the state championship. Even though Pearland was undefeated they were the underdog to the Trinity Trojans, one of the countries most balanced and feared high school football teams.
The Oilers wanted to get a fast start on Eules and keep their foot on the gas peddle so they pulled out all the stops in the title game, including a tried but true trick play if it can be sold.
Leading 14 to 10 in the third quarter the Trojans called " The Dead Man" play. Pearland sold the play so well that quarterback Trey Anderson was able to throw a 54 yard scoring strike to wide receiver Sam Ukwyachu making it a 21-10 game.
It really was the kind of play the Oilers needed to put a wide gap between themselves and the Trinity Trojans who never gave up and came roaring back to make it a 28-24 game.
Sounds like both teams gave it their all and are to e congratulated for a fine season and great game.
