2024 Texas High School Football

[Iceman 2,978]

Not unheard of, but let's just say the mentality is different, and that includes smaller 2A schools.

The level of participation is amazing.  You are expected to play unless you just hate football and 'Merica.

anyone else having issues wit the app ?

[Vic Mackey 47,913]

Muenster just started the game with an onside kick and caught Shiner off guard. Perfectly timed and executed. 

[AbeFroman 3,112]

Clutch throw, we got us a ballgame.  7-7

#4 for shiner is fast, for 2A

[AbeFroman 3,112]

I dare any state to find someone who knows as much about its football as Greg Tepper knows about Texas high school football.

im guessing way won't be there saturday, but those two do a great job 

[tx 3 putt 78,664]

shiner just pounds that ball 

[Vic Mackey 47,913]

Needed to just drop that ball. Lost 5 yards and had to use another timeout. 

[texifornia 59,007]

 

[AbeFroman 3,112]

Heck of a ballgame.

[Iceman 2,978]

Hell of a football game! I thought monster special teams were almost perfect, except for the onside penalty on the PAT, and they were the difference in the game!

Hope tomorrow can match tonight‘s games intensity

[tx 3 putt 78,664]

went down to the last play, damn great game 

[tx 3 putt 78,664]

damn good start to things

Maybe I’m misremembering things, but feels like 6-man state championship games are overwhelmingly non-competitive.

Per Stapp on the postgame, Shiner only has 5 Seniors, one of whom is the QB/ DB, but...

[orangeut 216]

Another rocking day of High School football on tap for today:  

2A-D1  Stamford vs Ganado     11:00am

3A-D2 Gunter vs Woodville       3:00pm      Gunter defending state champions

3A-D1  Malakoff vs Columbus   7:00pm      Malakoff defending state champions

Really looking forward to the Malakoff vs Columbus game, seeing if Grayson Rigdon can get his 3rd state championship against the defending state champions, should be a good one

[BurntOrange&White 41,842]

I don't think any of these games will be close. Malakoff/Columbus will be best but I think Columbus will pull away in the second half.

One of my favorite Texas town names. Love a good Crimean War reference.

[sidis 10,011]

a few of you guys have mentioned north crowley being significantly undersized for a state champ game team. don't they have one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the nation for next year's class?

cunningham ain't little at lb.

Those posters are simultaneously jealous and in denial of DFW's status as the epicenter of bigtime football in this state. 

After North Texas goes 3-0 this Saturday they will transition to their yearly whining about Jerryworld and suggest we go back to the good old days of playing state championships in freezing weather in front of no fans

[sidis 10,011]

also, i grew up in east texas and my grandmother lived in woodville. i can not recall a single time in history that they have had a competitive football team and now they have stomped their way to a state championship appearance. does anyone know what's up with them and where this came from? do they have a dominant stud at qb or rb or something? did they unwittingly hire some program builder of a coach with a bright future?

What are we arguing? IMO Jerryworld is fantastic for the state games no matter what region of the state wins the most titles. Also Jerry does a fantastic job(surprising to say this) of giving UIL a very very nice discount.

Ty Robinson is from good football stock and has coached the Eagles since 2016.  To your point, before this season, they were 8-25 alltime in the playoffs. The last 4 seasons they have finished 8-3, 7-4, 9-3, & 8-4 respectively.  Each of the last 3 seasons, they have bowed out in the 2nd round of the POs.

I have made it  a point NOT to bitch about Jerry world, because it is a very special experience for the players.  As a fan, I couldn't disagree more.  $20 for game tickets is bullshit.  If we're talking the 3 games for $20,  Being locked in( no come and go) privileges is bullshit, especially if you consider a family of four and the realistic costs from 11AM to 10 PM for meals, parking, and everything. It is $25 for nachos and a pepsi.

It's fucking high school football, not Disney.

All the participants benefit greatly from it located at one spot because of revenue splits. $20 for 3 games is great, who gives a shit if you can't come and go as you please.

1. I acknowledged the win for the schools.

2. If I am just coming to see my school play, $20 is by far the highest price of the season for any game.  Again, a family of 4 is a reasonable sized family unless you're Tyreek Hill or Phillip Rivers.

3.  Being locked in for wildly overpriced concessions is stupid. If you extend the value of the ticket across 3 games, then honor it as such.

If your school is playing for a state championship then $20 shouldn’t be a problem no matter if solo for family of four. Especially if it’s your schools first time or a perennial powerhouse. It’s the state fucking championship

Those Westlake kids look like they all come from the same family.  Might have taken one picture and just tweaked it back and forth.

I knew Westlake was bigger but jesus christ. That game will be a bloodbath. 

[Vic Mackey 47,913]

jerryworld sucks

As a stadium, correct. But for a site for all the state games, it's perfect. They wanted to rotate but when they moved it to Houston, it was a terrible experience. Houston's stadium is even worse than Jerry World. And the location isn't good as a central location for those games.

[tx 3 putt 78,664]

curious on concessions pricing this week. jerry world and four days of state championship football are the perfect match 

 

easily one of the best weeks of the year

I had no idea there are 11 divisions of TX 6 man.
