August 6Aug 6 Unless they’re moving it from Jerry World back to DKR then I’m not interested6-man should have never left Shotwell. I watched Turkey Valley and Richland Springs battle it out in front of packed house each time, and both communities combined couldn’t have filled the visitors stands of that stadium. That place could draw a crowd and was rocking. Throckmorton too.

August 8Aug 8 the following data has a 2025 relevance...... no googling... if you are alumni of the schools and know the answers stay silent..... what games do these belong to: --- ---
August 8Aug 8 5 turnovers and not sure who won, but the other squad only had 6pts at the most. Did they play in a monsoon or was that team with the 5 TOs just incredibly shitty on offense?
August 8Aug 8 let's give it a couple of days for others to see it to your point, there were FIFTEEN (15) turnovers these 2 games across 96 minutes of football that's a turnover every 6 minutes Edited August 8Aug 8 by Hagbard Celine
August 8Aug 8 I know the answer. Hint: the two teams open the season against each other this year. Both teams also suck now, otherwise I’d be mad that the game is taking place while we are playing Ohio State.
August 8Aug 8 welp, since you gave it away, it's the 77 and 78 plano-permian state semis permian won last year 13-10 at ratliff after a 30-year break in the series the return game is this year in frisco fantastic they decided to televise this year's game unbelievably stupid to kickoff at 11am central on saturday 30 august will be setting dvr (nfl network) the 77 game is forgotten, sandwiched between the miracle 29-28 quarterfinal comeback over highland park and the state final win 13-10 over png in front of 49k at texas stadium the 77 game was played in lubbock in a cold howling wind on plano's 2nd punt permian fumbled on their 40(?), plano recovered, gained a few yards and kicked a line-drive field goal that barely made it over the bar plano didn't cross midfield again for the rest of the game: 63 total yards, 9 punts, 3 points, 0 penetrations, and won the 78 game was played in irving and was a defensive war not unlike the '76 0u game 5 fumbles, 4 lost and 5 picks for NINE total turnovers between the 2 teams permian was on the plano 35(?) with 4 seconds left but plano was ahead on penetrations so permian had to go for the endzone, i don't remember how that play failed but it did the next week cjk5h led stratford over plano for the title at the astrodome permian may have friday night lights, but it took them 47 years to notch their first win over plano, and permian played a huge part cementing the plano mystique

August 15Aug 15 Not Texas, but a couple Georgia powerhouses ranked 11 and 12 in the country are playing a pretty good game rigjt now on espn2. Raiolas little bro is the QB for Buford, trying to hang on to a 20-13 lead against Milton. Milton QB threw a pick 6 then another INT long runback where he got injured making the tackle. Game looks over. Freshman QB comes in leads Milton down the field for a TD. I wish I could write stuff like this Edited August 15Aug 15 by cmontexas

August 15Aug 15 Article about how more and more high schools are doing away with spring ball in favor of starting a week earlier in August. https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/football/2025/08/11/why-dallas-area-schools-like-north-crowley-southlake-carroll-skipped-spring-football/ Quote When Ray Gates was hired at North Crowley, he knew the team would not participate in spring practice. Gates believed skipping spring ball would give his players their best chance to prepare for the season. Under UIL rules, Texas high school football teams that opt out of spring training, an 18-day period, are allowed to begin full-contact practices and interschool scrimmages a week earlier in the fall. This year, Aug. 9 was the first day of full-contact activities, and Aug. 14 will be the first day of interschool scrimmages. Gates said he values giving everyone on the roster a chance to shine in live competition. “It allows us to play a lot more guys early in scrimmages and evaluate guys in meaningful snaps,” Gates said during North Crowley’s practice Monday. “Spring ball gets to a point where, after the first week, the luster kind of falls off. You pull out your guys who can play for you, and they don’t get a lot of work during that time.” More Dallas-area programs appear to be making the same choice, increasing their fall workload. Coaches such as Gates have a consistent stance, while others decide on a year-to-year basis. North Crowley also has several new move-ins before this season, but Gates said that didn’t factor into his decision. “We don’t structure anything based on that,” Gates said. “Our philosophy has nothing to do with a kid moving in. That’s outside our control. We’ve been fortunate and blessed to build a program. When you look around our campus, there are new facilities going up, and with the growth in this area, naturally you’re going to have people move in.” Riley Dodge’s decision came down to Southlake Carroll returning 19 starters from last year’s Class 6A Division II state runner-up team. He said veteran experience and ongoing facility upgrades made skipping spring practice logical this year. “It just kind of made sense,” the coach said after Monday morning’s practice. Dodge said fall practice gave his staff a better look at how players’ bodies changed in the offseason. Defensive back William Chen, a Brown commitment, said most starters on defense gained at least 10 pounds. Wide receiver Brock Boyd, an Ohio State pledge, said he prefers the fall schedule. “Being able to get the two scrimmages, then by Week 1 it feels like you’ve already played two games,” Boyd said. “You’re kind of getting into that rhythm. I think it allows us to start hot out of the gate, and we’re already through so many installs.”

August 15Aug 15 Texas high school football: Top 10 quarterbacks in the Austin area entering 2025 Here’s the top 10 quarterbacks for the Austin area entering the 2025 high school football season. David Cooper, Cedar Park: Standing 6-foot-4 with a strong arm, the junior is a true dual threat after passing for 2,190 yards and 19 TDs, running for 585 yards last fall. Kaleb McDougle, Georgetown: Bigger and stronger entering his junior year, his numbers should increase from the 2,442 yards and 30 TDs he threw for a year ago. London Morgan, Rouse: The senior has a rocket for an arm and can handle more than 40 attempts a game. Heading into his third year as the Raiders’ starter, he threw for 2,649 yards and 24 TDs last fall. Weston Nielsen, Bastrop: Entering his junior year with 14 Power Four offers, he’s poised for another wildly productive season after throwing for 3,185 yards and 37 TDs last fall. Expect more college offers to pour in over the next four months. Jaxon Schad, Weiss: An injury forced Schad to start as a freshman last fall, but he performed like a wily veteran throwing for 2,689 yards and 32 TDs. Now a year older, he’ll only be better. Kaden Stefek, Hutto: He broke out as a junior last year with 2,061 yards and 27 TDs through the air. With offensive guru Eli Reinhart now leading the Hippos, his numbers this fall could be video game-esque. Jadon Sultz, McNeil: Sultz seems primed for a big year in his third season behind center for the Mavs. In only seven games a year ago — he battled injuries — he threw for 1,553 yards and 17 TDs. He’s been a big reason McNeil has made the playoffs two straight years. Cole Taylor, Pflugerville: The area’s passing leader last fall with 3,379 yards and 43 TDs, he’ll look to help the Panthers to a second straight playoff berth. Miles Teodecki, Vandegrift: Teodecki hadn’t thrown a varsity pass entering last fall. He then promptly took the state by storm by throwing for 3,290 yards and 48 TDs in helping the Vipers to the Class 6 A Division II state title. Arguably the best deep ball thrower in the state, he’s committed to Kansas State. Rees Wise, Westlake: Incredibly consistent and technically sound, all the senior does is win. The Ole Miss commit threw for 2,598 yards and 23 touchdowns and ran for another 15 scores last season as the Chaps went 14-2. He enters his third year as a starter at the area’s best program.

August 15Aug 15 Quote North Crowley also has several new move-ins before this season, but Gates said that didn’t factor into his decision. Quote I heard Crowley ISD is an open district, is this true? Crowley ISD is an open district allowing out of district students to attend with an approved transfer. Transfers are granted on a case-by-case basis, depending on various campus and district considerations and must be requested during the transfer window.
