No doubt. But they were never the most feared team in the Coastal Bend. I think Alice and Refugio can make a case why they might have been more feared. GP would always pound the valley teams in the first round and lose in the second, save for a couple of seasons in the 70's. They lost a lot of second round games to Cuero which was no slouch back then, but never got to really test their horses against what were the suburban, city, or metro schools in the San Antonio, Houston or Austin areas like Alice and Refugio did. They moved up to 4A(now 6A);back in the early 80's for two years in our district. They didn't fare well.

They were the most feared team in 4A up until Calallen started their run 30 years ago. But 4A not the entire Coastal Bend like this dude is saying. I remember when GP moved up to 4A (now 6A) for 2 years back in 82 I believe. They were in with Alice, Kingsville and CCISD when CCISD was good. I believe Alice beat them 35-0 and knocked them out of the playoffs. Akin's made sure they went back down to 3A after that. G-P went to 4-A in 1982 and failed to make the playoffs losing to Carroll & Alice that season. Alice won 31-24. It was a close game throughout and sorry to correct you, but Alice has never blown out G-P 35-0. G-P finished that season 8-2. The next year, G-P made the playoffs in 4A beating both Carroll and Alice. G-P finished 9-2 for the season. The realignment in 1984 moved G-P back down and that’s the year G-P went to the semi-finals and gave Calallen & Danaher 69-0 whooping. SoTex, how has Alice fared the last 12 meetings with G-P? Hint: 1-11

Not sure what you’re referring to, but G-P has beaten Austin Reagan, Austin Westlake, Belton, Brenham, Hays Consolidated, Kerrville Tivy, Lockhart, New Braunfels, New Braunfels Canyon, Port Neches-Groves, SA Alamo Heights, SA Edison, SA McCollum, SA South San, Schwartz Clemens, and many other teams past the second round in the playoffs.

It was the last game of the year and Robert Soza ran wild on y'alls a$$. The game wasn't as close as the score indicated.

Some of the worst teams in G-P history the last few years have still managed to beat Alice. Ouch!

Look it up

They have not been what they were at one time. They don't just reload and keep it going. So guess the question is when do they become relevant again. To me that would be 3 rounds deep. G-P went 3 rounds deep in 2012 & 2014 when my sons were both playing for the Wildcats. So, it’s been a 3-year playoff drought for them.

Found a Thursday game at Bryan Allen Academy (Private 6man) on Thursday night. Went to my first 6 man game last year and it was a blast. So starting off this season that way will be fun. Still going to Bastrop vs Bryan Rudder @ Merrill Green Stadium for my Friday night game. Going to look and see if I can find a Saturday game close enough to make the trip. Looks like I can make 2 games on Saturday. Hutto vs West Mesquite in Waco, then another 6 man Bryan St.Josephs @ Calvert. Going to be a great kickoff weekend.
