- The second half of the first ever Texas 5A Football State Championship game. Coming into the second half, the huge underdog Panthers trail 19-7. But in one of the most shocking 2nd halves in Texas High School Football history, the Panthers score three touchdowns to win the game and upset Jefferson to win the 3rd state championship in their program's history. This game and team are referenced often in the book Friday Night Lights.
This game was the first time I was in this stadium. I was surprised how cold it was in the stadium. I thought it is fully enclosed except for the roof so it won’t be that cold inside. I was cod soaked by the end of the game. Traveling home was a endless line of cars with MOJO painted on them headed back to Odessa.
Jerry Hix is a customer of mine, how cool is it to watch this video! I was only 6 years old in 1980.
I love those years I was a 2nd string wide receiver still have have my letter jacket go mojo!!!!!
I played trombone for TJ on this cold winter day in 1980. The wind was howling through Texas Stadium that day. Everone's hands were frozen. You can't appreciate that just watching the video. TJ had the game wrapped up by the end of the third, but mojo came back strong. You could feel the change of momentum like a cloud coming over. We just couldn't shake that feeling off that despite such a wonderful season, it was destiny for Permian to win. Still proud of the Maroon and Gold. GO TJ!
RIP, Kent Sager. I still get chills watching your last TD run in this game.
I also as at the game and graduated from UTPB five months later.
Permian class of ‘65 …. I always felt if you were playing for a West Texas team the referees weren’t interested in calling a fair game.
I was born and raised in PA as a kid. I remember going to the high school football games back then. It was a huge deal. Great teams for Port Arthur and Permian back then. Fundamental football then
I miss playing for mojo back then when won state
Texas high School football was epic
paj's downfall was coming out for 2nd half
55:12 - RIP, Kent Sager!
The QB for PAJ went on to coach Southlake Carroll to 4 5a
State championships.
What's with the Permian qb wearing 20? Some kind of tradition?
Seanzilla 62 they are deep in that jersey thing. 20 0r 25 for qb's
Seanzilla 62 Permian QBs were considered running backs. So most QBs wore 20, 25, 22. Part of the play calling system. I played at Permian from ‘87-‘90.
Got it. Thanks.
Plus the QB has a bar in the middle of his facemask
@Corydbrewer32 Me? I didn't play for Permian, nor in 1980. I was born in 1986 haha I received this film from Jerry Hix.

In order to become a powerhouse again, Odessa Permian needs a better coaching staff and fresh talent on their roster.
Getcha one these!!!
I was at this game too, it was my first year of high school and I was a Hussar at TJ. This was a heartbreaking game and saying it was cold was an understatement.
+thelmarrie That's awesome. Do you remember Leo and Willie's on Gulfway?
clint turner
Yes I do!
+thelmarrie Monceaux's on Gulfway was great also. Delicious steak-fingers.
Ahhh Monceaux's! I suddenly had a flavor flash back LOL.
Monceaux's reopened in the Groves. My father owned Gibson's pharmacy on Gulfway for many years. He made many trips to Monceaux's after work.
Not bad for a racist segregated school. Interesting to say the least
You're an idiot.
Shut up
Thomas Jefferson and Odessa Permian was a very good game
Thomas Jefferson had a better team should have won that game
