    55-game winning streak

    From 1958 until 1962, Pflugerville won 55 consecutive games. At the time, it was both a State and National record. The Streak ended with a 12-6 loss to Holland in the 1962 Bi-District round of the playoffs. In 1964, Pflugerville's national winning streak record was broken by Jefferson City, Missouri.

    In 1958 and 1959, PHS fielded Eight-Man football teams and played in the Class B division until 1967, which were not allowed to play to a State Championship. This is why Pflugerville is only credited with 34 wins on the all-time consecutive win chart. However, they are in actually, in 2nd Place as of 2005.
    The Panthers compiled 5 District Championships, 2 Bi-District Championships, and 4 Regional Championships.
    Through those five seasons, the Panthers scored 2,585 points; allowed just 256 and recorded 31 shutouts of their opponents.
    The record for most consecutive victories is now held by De La Salle High School of California with 151 from 1992-2004.
    Their streak ended with the first game of the 2004 season against Bellvue High from Washington state.
    The Texas State record is now held by Celina, which won 68 games from 1998-2002. Pflugerville still ranks #2 All-Time in the State of Texas.

    Cross Country

    In the 2009-2010 season, Pflugerville's Cross Country for the first time qualified an entire team for regionals.

    Kuempel Stadium

    The 7,000-capacity Kuempel Stadium the current home of the Panthers in Football, Soccer and Track & Field.

    Through the 2004 season, Kuempel Stadium has had a natural grass playing surface. However, on February 5, 2005 voters approved a multimillion-dollar bond package which will include funds to upgrade to the new style of artificial turf. Similar surfaces are used at RRISD Stadium and at Dragon Stadium as well as NFL and College teams throughout the Nation. Construction was finished prior to the start of the 2005 season

    Dedicated October 1986

    Named for Charles and H. L. "Hub" Kuempel, both graduates of Pflugerville High School, who returned and served the Pflugerville schools for a combined 49 years. In the late '50s and early '60s they coached PHS to 55 consecutive football victories.

    At that time this was a State and National Record. This accomplishment still stands as the Texas state record
