Throwback Thursday: Luling Coach's Speech After 6 State Wins


If you're not excited for the 2021 UIL Cross Country State Championship, then this should do it.

The 2015 state meet was epic for a couple of reasons. It was the year of the rain during championship season. It made the state meet course flood. . . . literally; there was a lot of mud and rivers flowing through the park.

It was also the year a second team in Texas won six consecutive state title. Former Luling head coach Dave Barnett would eventually coach the team to a UIL record of eight straight state championships.

His speech after equaling the previous record of six was epic and as good as the come.
