Friday evening Laura Duprie and I attended the first game of the season in Midlothian. This school has just been moved up to FIVE- A. They played Grapevine, a two-time state champion, in earlier years. Midlothian lost 30-27 in overtime.
We were fed in the VIP boxes high above this beautiful stadium. It was coach's families night. They were playing on their new artificial turf. Thursday evening Dempsey's freshman team was the first to play on it. A huge screen is on one end of the field with a giant scoreboard. More than 5,000 people were there.
Saturday evening at the University of Texas stadium in Austin, Lake Travis, and Westlake, squared off in a season opener. Lake Travis hasn't lost in three years. Their quarterback from last year is now the UT starter. Ann has a great- nephew, Turney Maurer, who is starting wingback for the team. They came from behind and beat Westlake. There were 30,000 at the game!
Dallas's billion dollar home for the Cowboys apparently needs a few players who can play the game like they are hungry and want to win. They have been talking about Super Bowl sixteen games too soon.
It will be interesting to watch and see what unfolds or folds up.
