Cowboys Stadium will be crowded this week-end as teams from all over the state will be there for state championship games. Altogether TWELVE teams will bear the label "STATE CHAMPION" after the running and passing is over.
Thought I would help you a little if you are interested in this sort of thing. Where are these schools? Never heard of them? I understand that so will take a few days approaching Saturday and the playoffs to try to fix their locations in your mind. Let me start with the two teams playing for FIVE A DIVISION II CHAMPIONSHIP. These are the smaller schools from among the largest High Schools in the state. DIVISION ONE will have Southlake Carroll playing Fort Bend Hightower. (That game I will write about tomorrow)
Spring DeKaney High School - Located in Spring ISD near Houston. It is only four years old, having opened in 2007. It is named after a former school board member. They have not had an easy beginning as a school. There have been numerous fights on campus this year. One received play on U-tube. (We can relate to that here in Rockport). The team has scratched it's way to the championship game. They lost a couple of games on the way.
Cibolo Steele High School - Cibolo is in the Shertz, Cibolo, Universal City area. It is not too far off I 35 near Garden Ridge and the pottery factory. I guess you could say between San Antonio and Austin.(Closer to San Antonio)
The school began in 2005. Their statement is this: " Safe, secure and challenging learning environment". They have some FIFTY clubs on campus. Their football team is undefeated. They are ranked number TWO in the state and TWENTY-TWO in the nation. They are rated as a distinguished great school.
So, in this championship match-up Saturday at 8:00 in Dallas, the competing teams will match up two entirely different schools from city suburbs in Texas. Who will win? I predict the one who scores the most points.
