Football
The 1983 team holds the NFHS national record for most shutouts in a single season and considered the most dominant in Texas history. The team scored 631 points while allowing only 8 the entire season, zero on defense (the only points scored by an opposing team were a touchdown on an interception return to Carthage and a safety to Kilgore, both larger schools than Daingerfield). Of the 16 games won (the first Texas high school to win 16 games in a season), 14 were shutouts (which ranks as the #1 national 11 man football single season record, as recorded on NFHS.org) including the final 13 (the final seven of the regular season and all six playoff games, the only team in Texas high school football history to accomplish the latter feat).[3] The 50th Anniversary Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football nominated the 1983 team as the #2 most memorable team (pro, college, or high school) in Texas football history; only the 1969 Texas Longhorn national championship team was rated higher.[4]
