Brooks brothers run into history as Shiner repeats in Class 2A Division I

ARLINGTON – The Wright brothers made history by flying. The Ringling Bros. started a circus. Kurt and Kyle Busch drive in circles at a fast pace. The Brooks brothers – Dalton and Doug – ran over, and around, competition for the better part of three years for Shiner High School, capturing a second consecutive state championship in a 47-12 win over Hawley in the Class 2A Division I state championship game at AT&T Stadium on Wednesday night. 

Doug, a senior, finished his four-year varsity career at Shiner with a 53-3 record. Dalton, a junior, is 32-1 on the varsity level. Shiner is on a 30-game winning streak dating back to November 2019, thanks in large part to the two-way efforts of the Brothers Brooks. The duo combined for 63 of the 90 offensive touchdowns (70 percent) scored by Shiner’s offense leading into the state championship game.
