high school football

The high school football season is winding down, and there are several games this week with playoff implications.

Every game is big in high school football, but this week will feature an especially big game that could impact the playoff situation in a few weeks. West Rusk travels to Harmony for a district matchup in a battle of two ranked teams.

There are a couple of East Texas teams in action Thursday, October 14th, but the bulk of our East Texas teams are playing Friday and Saturday. It's hard to believe, but most teams only have two or three games left in the regular season.

High school teams always play on Friday nights, right? Yes! Except when they don't. And one Tyler team gets to play on Saturday this week in Dallas.

This just in...Carthage is good. After a big win over Gilmer last week, the Bulldogs have one more non-district game before launching into district play next week on the quest to defend the state title. And the Longview Lobos take a #6 ranking into an important game at home against Wylie East.

The Carthage Bulldogs are the defending state champs, and Gilmer was the team they beat to win the title. The rematch is set for Friday and Gilmer will be looking for revenge. This will be huge for both teams.

Several games have been canceled through the first three weeks of the high school football season, but this week's schedule is less interrupted. So far, only one game has been called off, and dozens are on! Tyler Legacy will kick off Week 4 tonight (Thursday) at Rose Stadium.

There are a handful of canceled games again this week, but most are still on. After Elysian Fields and Winona played a rare Thursday night game, everyone else is getting for another intense round under the Friday Night Lights.

This weekend marks the unofficial end of summer 2021. Before we close the book on summer and say goodbye, there's still plenty of things to do in East Texas this weekend.

After an exciting Week 1, high school football is back for round two this weekend and teams are looking to continue the momentum they launched last weekend, or, let's face it, have a do-over. Check out the schedule here, and prepare for a surprising number of games that have been canceled.

One of the greatest players in Dallas Cowboys history will remain in the Lone Star State after retiring from the NFL to coach football in North Texas.

And what's better to win than cash?
