Allen Shocks No. 1 Euless Trinity
from Dallas Morning News HS Game Time
 No turnovers on offense, big plays on defense and a touchdown scored on special teams. Then, to finish it off, a long scoring drive that drains the clock and breaks the opponent's back.

But it was Allen that used them to cook up an upset in the Class 5A Division I Region I final. More

from Beaumont Enterprise
Jack Alvarez's players are not the only ones with a lot on their minds. As the Kirbyville football coach and athletic director, Alvarez has spent the last few days planning and preparing for his team's Class 2A Division I state championship game Saturday against Muleshoe at the 10,000-seat Gopher-Warrior Bowl in the Dallas suburb of Grand Prairie. But those preparations have more to do with phone calls and post-it notes than drawing up new plays. Among Alvarez's tasks are to reserve buses, hotel rooms and food accommodations. More

from San Antonio Express-News
Some high school football teams win because they have an abundance of talent, and others win because they keep chipping away when the going gets tough. While certainly not devoid of talent, Smithson Valley would fall in the latter category. The Reagan Rattlers probably would attest to that after watching the Rangers carve out a hard-earned 19-14 victory Friday night in their Class 5A Division II state quarterfinal clash at the Alamodome.

Alongside the fervent preparation made by the football squads and coaching staffs, who clearly are the focus of attention, emerges a challenging question: Who is the greatest among high school football supporters? Who are the squad's most ardent boosters? Who sets the bar for coordinated energy, effort, expense and, last but not least, hours upon hours of personal time and sacrifice? More

from San Angelo Standard-Times
Mart head coach Rusty Nail probably has the best name in all of Texas high school football. His team has made quite a name for itself, too.

Being a Triplet Helps Westlake Player Learn All About Teamwork
from Austin American-Statesman
Last weekend, the Womack triplets invaded the Alamodome.
Chase Womack was on the field, compiling eight tackles and an interception for Westlake in a 49-23 playoff win over Harlingen.
