Gotta love those Friday Night Lights!

That's the only reason I keep my Texan Live Streaming Subscription active

My oldest will be a freshman this year at Caddo Mills, pumped to get the season started. They kick it off Sunday at midnight with a 2 hr Midnight Madness practice and a 1hr workout afterwards.

[marshman]

I’m ready. Will be interesting to see if WO-S continues success or if it falls off after our HC retired. Will be the first time in the schools 45 year history we won’t have a coach on the sidelines that’s been there since the two schools (West Orange and Stark High) merged in 1977.

[MikeyG]

Yea Sir! New head coach in Salado (small 4A)- Tom Westerberg (4 state championships from Allen). It’s going to be a fun season in a new district.

midnight madness turned out to be very cool, my son was pumped before and after. they had the cheerleaders out surrounding the gate when the boys got off the bus, parents and siblings in the stands like a friday night game. they finished it off from 2-3am with a little workout.

the 630am practices start tomorrow.

No fanfare at Lake Travis. Freshman start today around 2:00. Had a bunch of parents text last night asking if I was going to watch practice. I replied, "Man, I don't want to watch practice, coaches don't want you there to watch practice, it will be 105 degrees. . . plenty of reason not to watch practice. I will not be watching practice." They will be there in force. ;-)

[salth2o]

My son will be a junior at Huffman Hargrave HS. He's worked really hard all summer on strength, speed, and footwork. They got started this morning at 7am.

I've been officiating HS football for many years and I love it, but I'm taking the next two years off and am so excited to experience Friday night lights from the stands as dad.

i get it it was a nice and cool 90 or so with a little breeze at 2am last night so it wasnt bad.

[doghouse]

I'm excited for HS football this year. My son-in-law is the new head coach at Goldthwaite. Good luck Andy Howard. Go Eagles!

[trhunter]

Been there and done that, miss it. Nothing like Friday Night Lights. Now I have Friday Night Gym Lights for Volleyball. lol

I would have gone to midnight madness. You were expected/invited to be there. Most coaches don’t want parents going to every practice then telling them how good little Johnny is as they walk by. :-). . . or post how little Johnny is grinding, with video, EVERY day of summer.

I don’t understand the guys who want to or have time to go watch practice everyday.

Midnight madness would have been a cool thing for sure though.

Still a tad early for me, but I’ll be ready to watch my Franklin Lions play by the end of August.
Franklin moved up to 3A Division I and they are ranked at #2 in the state. Hoping they make another run for a state title.

We will be spending more Friday nights this season at Falcon Stadium. Can’t wait for cool weather and football.

[Rubi513]

Kids are out of high school now, but I plan on catching some home games. Love high school football.

[TexasLongball]

This is going to be a special season for me and the Mrs. My son will be in his senior year at Cinco Ranch (Katy) and my daughter will be a freshman on the dance team. We've never been able to watch them both at the same function.
Cinco improved dramatically last season and look to build even more.

[twistedmidnite]

Well fellas. It's that week....

No sir he was a Sr last year. He broke it in the 4th round game against China Spring late 1st qtr or early 2nd qtr. he will be missed.

[jshouse]

caddo and community this week, my son will be qb'ing the caddo freshman team thursday night at community.

as soon as it is over i will be heading to rockwall for the rockwall-heath vs. denton guyer game to watch jackson arnold throw it around.

[sqiggy]

Franklin will host Woodville this Friday night.
Anybody here from around there? I can’t find what class or division they are in.
Anyways, I’ll miss this game being I’m back on nights at work. Wife will be going and will keep me updated.
Good luck to everybody’s team this year.

He was a athlete for sure, did he move on to college?

See you Friday evening doghouse.

My son has worked extremely hard since mid December 2021 (Knee surgery) to get back to 100% without limitations. Looking forward to see him back doing what he loves....competing.

Here we go, lets roll Crawford

[MattSimpson]

Ready out here in West Texas. My youngest is a junior at Abilene High. We open up vs Odessa Permian. Going to find out real quick what we have this year.

Good to see Franklin move up. Gunter stays in 3A DII for two more years.

Were you there last night? Daughter is Major of the College Park drill team so we're at all the games. CP has been pretty good at football since she was a freshman. Looks like they may be in rebuilding mode after yesterday. Cinco Ranch looked pretty good.

[jer_james]

Son got his start on the Freshman team against Northwest - Had 2 catches at WR and 4 tackles at OLB.

Don’t think they’ll be that great, but fun to see him pull out a win and get good playing time.

Good looking boy, Clint! Back in the day . Hallsville and White Oak were rivals in the same district. Ask some of the old timers (Mike Buchanan or James Greer) about the 0-0 tie in 1964… both were undefeated in district.

[meathunter]

My son will be coaching and teaching this year. He just finished playing in college and now he is coaching in his first varsity game tonight. I did it for 17 years before becoming an administrator. It is awesome seeing him on the sidelines. He is only 22 and some teachers think he is a student.

Mike’s mother’s property is my neighbor to the north and James Greer’s place is on the other side of the road from me.

Coach (James) Greer was my Jr High principal. He hit me so hard with a paddle one day I pizzed my pants. That’s a big man and he could swing a paddle.

I gave the wrong year. It was the fall of 1963. Greer was a senior and Buchanan was a sophomore, I think. I was a junior. Great game.

[twistedmidnite]

4ad2 #2 ranked Gilmer over here putting a pop knot on 4ad1 #3 state ranked chapel hill bulldogs. 51-27. Got kilgore next week. Buckeyes to the front!

[salth2o]

Huffman held on to win 28-27. We stopped their 2 point conversion attempt with no time on the clock.
