High School Football

Prichard (AL) Vigor
vs.
Pensacola (FL) Pine Forest

At the end of the 1988 high school football season, the consensus top two teams in the nation were only an hour's drive apart.
Prichard (AL) Vigor, just outside of Mobile, and their dominating defense held the #2 position in the USAToday and NSNS polls.
Pensacola (FL) Pine Forest's Eagles, featuring an explosive offense, stood at #1.
Both squads are considered among the best to come out of their respective states.

   Help!!
   Texas High School Baseball has produced some fantastic teams and players.
   We would love to do a simulated baseball tournament involving some of the greats.
   Check the candidates on our baseball page. If anybody can help with statistics and a roster for the teams not in bold, we would be that much closer to performing a Texas Baseball Greats Tournament
