HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the 2004 KHS Bulldogs!
Twenty years ago today, on Dec. 18, 2004, Kilgore High School’s football team defeated Dallas Lincoln, 33-27, in double overtime at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco to capture the UIL Class 4A, Division II State Championship (Kilgore was the smaller 4A at the time; it was prior to the UIL’s readjustment and the 6A classification).
Ironically, the current Kilgore Bulldogs, which have so many connections to the ’04 version, will play for the 4A-DI state championship this Friday against Celina at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, a 3 p.m. start. And our preview is coming later today.
Enjoy this look-back, and the anniversary celebration back in September of this year!
