The quarterfinals of the 1994 Texas State Championship between Plano East and John Tyler High School is considered by many to be the greatest football game ever. Two undefeated high school teams came together at Texas Stadium and the winner would go on to win the state title.

Why are players, coaches and broadcasters still haunted by this game 20 years later?

I remember seeing this on ESPN in 94' and I still feel bad for them.

If you think about it, this game did technically end in a spectacular, last-minute comeback

It just wasn't met to be. I can't even imagine how that team felt on the bus ride home. The sports gods can be so cruel sometimes.

The announcers are hilarious.

Shouldn't there have been like 10-12 seconds left on the clock?

The announcers' tears of unfathomable sadness. yummy and sweet you guys. I would love to hear the Tyler side of this experience. Going up 41-17 with 5 minutes to go thinking you had it sewed up. Watching Plano East storm back in the most improbable manner. Thinking the game is lost until Dunn breaks that return.
