Tradition
Lamar High School regularly plays deep into the state playoffs, with the best finish coming in 1990. That year, the Vikings reached the Class 5A Regular Division (now Class 5A-Division II) state championship game, where they lost to Aldine, 27-10, at the Houston Astrodome. The game was broadcast nationally on ESPN.
On two occasions, the Vikes reached the state semi-finals before suffering a season-ending loss. The 2000 team lost to Tyler John Tyler in the Class 5A-Division II semi-finals at Texas Stadium. In 2003, the Vikings fell in the Class 5A-Division I semi-finals to The Woodlands at Round Rock ISD Stadium.
Lamar reached the state playoffs for thirteen consecutive seasons from 1988 to 2000, setting an Arlington ISD record for post-season consistency.
