More than 80,000 Votes Were Cast to Establish
Aledo As Texas’ Most Driven Team
Polaris RANGER, America’s No.1-selling utility side-by-side
vehicle, today announced Aledo High School as the winner of their
“Most Driven Team campaign.” As the official off-road vehicle of
the 2019 Texas High School Football season, Polaris RANGER worked
with Dave Campbell Texas Football to identify five schools that
embody the hard-working values of the brand.
The five finalists included Fort Bend Marshall, San Antonio
Reagan, Northside O’Connor High School, Longview High School and
Aledo High School. After a month and thousands of votes, Aledo High
School was voted the Most Driven Team and will be recognized at the
University Interscholastic League Football State Championships on
December 21 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. There they will
be presented with the grand prize, an all-new 2020 RANGER XP 1000
Texas Edition.
“Each of the finalists exemplified what it means to be the ‘most
driven’ and were worthy of recognition,” said Josh Hermes, RANGER
marketing director. “Texas high school football has an extremely
passionate fans and we are honored to support that passion and
award Aledo the title of Polaris’ Most Driven Team.”
The Aledo Bearcats have experienced success unlike any other
football program in the state over the last decade. That success is
the culmination of hard work from coaches, players and continued
support from the surrounding community. The Bearcats have claimed a
record-tying eight state titles since its beginning in 1998 which
included a 3A division crown before marching into the 4A division
(three titles) and finally dominating the 5A division (two more
titles, including last year’s UIL trophy). Their incredible
performance over the years is a testament to legendary Head
Football Coach Tim Buchanan’s commitment to his team. Buchanan
holds an amazing 227-53-3 record and led the Bearcats to five of
their eight titles. He built the team and its reputation for
excellence and is now driven to take his team to the state
championships.
“These boys deserve the recognition of being the most driven
team, and the constant drive they demonstrate on the field is
incomparable,” said Buchanan. “It’s been an honor to be their coach
this season, and I can say firsthand that they are working day in
and day out to defend our current championship title.”
Professional football player and Texas native, Cole Beasley,
knows what it takes to go the extra mile on the field and has
partnered with Polaris for the Most Driven Team campaign. “Coming
from a small town football program, I understand how much time and
sweat goes into each game even at the high school level,” said
Beasley. “All said and done, Aledo won the title of the Most Driven
Team, and I’m impressed with their continued drive to dominate this
season.”
RANGER is the hardest working utility side-by-side, known for

jobs and love the outdoors. The newly launched 2020 RANGER XP 1000
Texas Edition offers consumers in the Lone Star State even bigger
