Why has Bowie not ever really put it all together? They always have great atheletes, I believe they have good coaching. Is it just a matter of match-ups or does district play take it out of them?

Well in 2009 and 2011 Bowie was eliminated by the future State Champion (Abliene, & SLC). So I think match ups have played a big part in it.

Honestly though, Perry is not all that. At some point you realize that just because you have a winning team every year, it by no means makes you a contender. It's true with Fuller, was true with Wasson until last season. Eddy Peach is in the top 5? In wins all time. His teams made the playoffs and had winning records how many years? A lot. He had one trip to the Finals and lost, one trip to the Semis, and three trips to the Quarters. A few of those years his teams were contenders. Most of those seasons his teams were pretenders.

Great points... Except they're wrong. - Quarters - 88,89,90,95,00,02 and 03
- Semis - 90,00 and 03
- Finals - 90

I suppose it depends on how you look at things. I guess by my way of listing them, I am off by one trip to the quarters. Most people I know would not double count. Finals in 1990 would not get counted under Semis and Quarters. Semis in 2000 and 2003 would not get counted under quarters. So the list would look like this. - Quarters - 88,89, 95 and 02
- Semis - 00 and 03
- Finals - 90
So sorry, I was off by .25 (one trip to the quarters). Point still valid. Seven years to quarters or deeper in what, 30 years? That means less than 1/4th of the years he coached, his teams were contenders. |

... So sorry, I was off by .25 (one trip to the quarters). ... No problem, people are wrong all the time I hear. They had a great run from '88 for about 15 years, and have been crap since. The '00/'03 teams really weren't that great. The '91 team that lost to Permian was MUCH better as was the '95 team that lost to Marcus. Maybe the most talented team was the '98 team, but the chemistry wasn't there. Of course you have the 9-1 '86 team featuring a Jr. Kenny Perry at RB that got screwed out of the playoffs(sort of). |
