Time to Start The Hype
HS football is right around the corner. Although first games are about 5 weeks away, practice for the Dawgs starts on Aug 6 because they did not hold spring football this year.
Everything I have read indicates Cove will be very good - key personnel returning, last year's two JV undefeated district champion teams (including wins over Midway) moving up, etc.
Dave Campbell's football mag places them as missing the playoffs. From what I have heard from people around town, that has totally pissed off the team. Midway, state finalist
last year, has lost the bulk of their team. Newcomer Temple will be tough I'm sure. Newcomer Waco won't. A 9 team district, so teams only get 2 non-district games to start the
year. Cove, because of no spring ball and early fall practices, has two scrimmages - first against Buda Hays Consolidated (they're always good) and the following week against
Abilene (always a powerhouse). So we should have a better idea going into the first game just how good the Dawgs are.
Good luck to all district teams, except when you play Cove.
Go Dawgs!!

I heard the Killeen teams reloaded again this and that they're still using blanks.

Saw a Texas high school football score over the weekend. Think it was 1A (the old Six-Man?). Losing team scored 52 points. Winner had...102 points?!?!

They start talking about "Friday nite lights" on Mondays now. You would think all we do here is play HS football. Oh well, at least we know they are doing something in HS instead of studying to be astronauts. IE... Taking up a lot of space.

In some HSs, it's basketball. Old story has it that some Dallas and Fort Worth HSs start off well in football, then once basketball season starts, the football teams start losing...

They have been trying hard to hype the HS football season for a month or more now. They start on Monday and get progressively worse as the week rolls on. You would think there is nothing else going on in the world but Texas HS football. I think what I hate more than anything is how it detracts from baseball at the end of its season.

HS football has always been a big deal in small-town Texas. It is the last bastion of non-professional sport.
