The good teams in Texas, like most states, still play defense.

I promise you this though, these teams today would hang about 100 on you and your boys from back in the day.

Yeah. Arguably the greatest high school team of all time - the 1983 Daingerfield team - outscored opponents 631-8 en route to the first 16-0 season in Texas history. Those 8 points weren't even scored on the defense - there was an INT returned for a TD, but the defense blocked the PAT, and a safety. Hell, the defense scored 76 points that year.

That being said, that Daingerfield team still averaged close to 40 points per game. Good teams have had good offenses and defenses for decades in Texas.
