December 18, 20241 yr 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. Edited December 18, 20241 yr by Iceman
December 19, 20241 yr Muenster just started the game with an onside kick and caught Shiner off guard. Perfectly timed and executed.Â

December 19, 20241 yr I dare any state to find someone who knows as much about its football as Greg Tepper knows about Texas high school football. Â

December 19, 20241 yr 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
December 19, 20241 yr no disrespect to 6Man, but this game kicked off the championship weekend damn good start to thingsÂ

December 19, 20241 yr Per Stapp on the postgame, Shiner only has 5 Seniors, one of whom is the QB/ DB, but...
December 19, 20241 yr 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
December 19, 20241 yr Author 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. Â

December 19, 20241 yr 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.
December 19, 20241 yr 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
December 19, 20241 yr 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?

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.Â

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.

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.Â

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. Edited December 19, 20241 yr by Iceman

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 championshipÂ

December 19, 20241 yr jerryworld sucksAs 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.
December 19, 20241 yr 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 yearÂ
December 19, 20241 yr Maybe I’m misremembering things, but feels like 6-man state championship games are overwhelmingly non-competitive.I had no idea there are 11 divisions of TX 6 man.
