Since Alabama high school football first held a post season playoff system in 1966 there have teams that accomplished the feat of completing a season with not only a championship but a perfect season. This series of unforgettable seasons will document these seasons game-by-game.           Below are the teams that have been researched along with a brief summary of each game along with rosters and other pertinent information. It is our way of honoring the teams that managed to finish a season by winning a title and not losing a single game along the way.           Since 1984 when the newest playoff format began, a total of fifty-five teams have completed a year with a perfect 15-0 record. Since 1966 a total of 112 teams have finished a season undefeated and claimed a state title.             The ultimate goal will be to complete summaries for every team that won a state championship since 1966. That will include 250 teams through the 2013 season. It will take a lot more research and some time to complete. In the meantime we will add the teams listed below. Other seasons will be added as they are researched.           If anyone can provide more information about these or other teams it will be appreciated. Our goal is to find a roster, team photo and box scores for every team that won a state championship. Fell free to email me at the address below if you can assist with this project.           The Unforgettable Seasons Year Team Summary 1920 Sidney Lanier Poets The first state championship. 1966 Sidney Lanier Poets The first playoff champions. 1967 Russellville Golden Tigers The first Class 3A champs. 1967 Sidney Lanier Poets Two in a row. 1968 Russellville Golden Tigers A repeat for the Golden Tigers. 1968 Lowndes Academy Rebels The team that Mac built. 1968 Gordo Green Wave A first for the Green Wave. 1968 Sidney Lanier Poets Three in a row. 1970 Hazlewood Golden Bears The beginning of a dynasty.       1971 Oneonta Redskins A tie for the championship. 1972 Colbert County Indians A star studded team. 1972 Oneonta Redskins Thirteen consecutive wins. 1973 Banks Jets A perfect season for the Jets. 1973 John Carroll Cavaliers A perfect season for the Cavs. 1973 Glencoe Yellow Jackets A special season for the Yellow Jackets. 1977 Andalusia Bulldogs Long winning streak continues. 1980 Akron Rams A sophomore quarterback sensation. 1980 Gordo Green Wave A perfect season for Gordo. 1982 Hazlewood Golden Bears Another championship for the Bears. 1983 Murphy Panthers A first for a Mobile team.       1983 Millport Junior Tide Seven close wins for a title. 1984 Emma Sansom Rebels Rose and Jelks. 1984 Millport Junior Tide Back to back perfect seasons. 1985 Sand Rock Wildcats From 0-10 to 15-0 in two years. 1986 Crossville Lions An amazing season for the Lions. 1987 UMS Prep Bulldogs A great defense. 1988 Vigor Wolves A National Championship 1990 Deshler Tigers A high scoring offense. 1990 Courtland Chiefs A difficult schedule. 1991 Gadsden Tigers An undefeated Tiger team.        1994 T.R.
