Howe shocks Texas and Pilot Point, advances 28-14
November 13, 1998
Howe had a really good football team in 1998 and everyone knew it. However, when the Bulldogs were pitted against Pilot Point in the first round of the playoffs, no one gave them a chance. Howe had been blasted in game two of the season by Pilot Point by a score of 43-0 in Pilot Point. However, the ‘Dogs possessed, statistically, one of the top three running backs in school history in Nathanael Falls. It was Falls’ four touchdowns that propelled the Bulldogs to the shocking win in Denton on this evening. It was also the “Pete Simmons letter” that was re-used and re-catered from the 1990 Celina playoff game and secretly distributed from the 1990 players to the 1998 team as they left for Denton on the bus that helped motivate them to the biggest playoff upset and the #1 most exciting win in school history.
