BROWNWOOD — Defining a special football accomplishment can depend on what sideline your standing on. By that I mean all things are relative when it comes to stirring the blood of a Texas high school football fan.
A .500 season at La Mesa, for example, will win you the key to the city at a place that hasn’t seen a record like that in 23 years. But good luck winning any popularity contests if you follow Denney Faith at Albany with a 5-5.
That’s the problem with weighing accomplishments when speaking of programs with a storied past. Programs such as Brownwood, which has reached the state championship pinnacle seven times has a different viewpoint on what’s “special.”
