I believe Mansfield Schools May get beat in Oklahoma this weekend.  Oklahoma Started practice over week earlier than these teams and they already have game under their belt.

did you see that Broken Arrow is nationally ranked after beating Union 33-10?

Jenks beat Bixby 28-14  all 4 of them are playing 

union is playing Lake Ridge

Jenks is playing Legacy

Broken Arrow is playing Mansfield High

Bixby is playing Timberview

Page Sand Springs is playing Summit

I know for fact several states California and Oklahoma both decided recently to start season earlier to give them better chance in these OOS match ups.

When DLS played Trinity that was both teams first game.  If they was playing this year DLS would be playing game 3 and Trinity game 1.

personally I would not want Texas to start in the middle of Aug.  I might be cool with our games starting one week earlier if it meant teams could get extra bye week prior to the playoffs.    Thoughts?

They were essentially unstoppable on all phases.... again it was against Horn, who has a new coach as well 

Man - I hope this holds true.  I have really struggled to believe that Coach Robinson was good hire for Desoto.  

I hope he proves to be great hire!

Well I wanted to see Allen next Friday but my people are loyal to their child’s HS so it’s Flower Mound vs Plano West I believe.It will be a good time I’m sure 

I understand, but its a terrible choice from a HSFB fan perspective.  2 bottom dweller schools.  Family first though.

This is how big football is in Texas.  Fox Sports will be showing it to the Nation on FS2 on Friday Night. 

IRVING – Just how big is high school football in Texas? It’s so big, in fact, that Week 1 games                                                                                                  televised regionally on FOX Sports Southwest as part of its Texas Football Days celebration                                                                                                               will be simulcast nationally on FS2.

FOX Sports Southwest will televise back-to-back Texas High School football games live on                                                                                                            Friday, Aug. 31, beginning with Brock at Brownwood at 5:30 p.m. CT, followed by Lufkin at                                                                                                        Longview at 8:30 p.m. The Brock-Brownwood matchup will also be televised live nationally                                                                                                                 on FS2, while the Lufkin-Longview rivalry game will air on FS2 on a delay at 1:30 a.m. CT.

FOX Sports Southwest’s signature High School Scoreboard Live show will serve as the postgame                                                                                                  show to wrap up the night from Longview, and also be televised live on FS2 at 11:30 p.m. CT.                                                                                                            Ric Renner, Greg Tepper and Shea Walker will be on site to deliver a complete recap of Friday                                                                                                      night football in Texas with scores, highlights and game reports.

In addition to the two high school matchups and postgame show being televised nationally,                                                                                                              FOX Sports Southwest will be stepping up its game on the production side with the use of RF                                                                                                 Cameras, including Steadicam, Super Slow-Motion Cameras, Instant Replay and Drones for                                                                                                            live aerial shots to deliver an elevated broadcast normally reserved for college or                                                                                                                  professional games.

The back-to-back high school football games will be televised with limited commercial breaks,                                                                                                                as FOX Sports Southwest will instead utilize the time to cover other games in progress.

We all know that that Fox could have picked better teams than Brock vs Brownwood...However, I for one love the fact that in Texas we don't give all the love to select handful of teams.
