Sinton suffered injuries that plagued the Pirates in 1988 that forced them with a record of 2-7 and started the rebuilding process under new head coach Gary Davenport in 1989 and ended the decade with a season record of 4-6. Davenport went on to become one the winningest coaches at Sinton High School in the early '90s. The term that launched "Just Do It" in that era certianly describe the Sinton Pirates they were known as the 'team to watch for' in Dave Campbell's Texas Football they were district favorites numerous times and voted in the Class 3A Top 25 Polls several times. In 1990 the Pirates returned to the state semifinals for the first time since the 1960's. Which earned them the number six spot in 1991 in the Class 3A Preseason Top 10. In a era known as the  new Generation X the Pirates became very highly competitive and never quit they led the way for future Pirates to become a "team to watch for" to a "team you love to hate" in the 2000's as one of the best teams in south texas by extending their playoff appearances.
