Coach G.A. Moore announced his retirement this week. Most people won't recognize the name. I would say that Moore's status as the all-time wins leader in the history of Texas high-school football demands some attention. What other state does high school football achieve the legendary status that is does in Texas? Books and movies have been made about it. It is religion and myth. The story of the state can hardly be told without mentioning it. To be the all-time winningest coach here is a monumental status. Moore was head coach for 45 years and never even reached 100 losses. His record stands at 423-97-9 with 8 state championships. He is most noted for his time at Celina and Pilot Point where he reigned as the king of lower-class Texas football (2A - 3A). At 73, Coach Moore is headed to the ranch where he says cattle prices are great. Goodbye to a true legend.
