McCallum’s Best Not Done Yet: Record-setting Knights Barrel Through Playoffs

The McCallum Knights have historically been among Austin ISD’s most successful football programs.

The 1966 squad started the year 11-0, but no team in school history can claim what the 2017 Knights have accomplished: a perfect 12-0 record. And counting.

“It’s big,” said McCallum's head football coach, Charles Taylor. “That 1966 team went 11-1 and held the record for the most wins in school history. This team has now surpassed that. It’s a testament to the kids.”
