I got into this project and discovered it is a big one, so am writing two-a-day as much as possible.DIVISION ONE- FOUR AAAA - Lake Travis vs Midway Waco. Lake Travis is located in the Austin area. They have an incredible record of FOUR STRAIGHT state championships. They have won 29 consecutive playoff games! How do they do it? Tradition and great athletes. Last year Ann's great nephew, Turney Maurer, was the starting blocking back for them. He is not terribly big, but built like a small block of granite. They are 15-0 for the year.
Waco Midway goes against Lake Travis for state championship honors. They are, of course, in Waco. Midway is 13-2.
In 4 AAAA Division II are two schools you may not know much about. The championship game will be Aledo vs Manvel.
Aledo is an old central Texas city of about 2,000, west of Fort Worth in Parker County. Weatherford is the County seat. Aledo is after their THIRD straight championship. Aledo received it's name from a railroad official back in 1882 who decided to name this little train stop after his home town of Aledo, Illinois. The median age of Aledo is 34. Median income is $ 64,000. That is not your average median income in Texas! It's growth has come from Fort Worth.
Manvel may throw some of you Texans. Manvel is in Brazoria County near Alvin, off Highway
288. They are a growing city of more than 7,000 not far from Houston. These are two great High School football teams. You will know the winner by Sunday.
