And both coached by baseball guys!!!

Comparing natural turf to artificial turf is not an entirely fair comparison. A well-maintained natural turf field is usually preferred by those who have the money and manpower to maintain them. At the high school level, most fields must be multi-use facilities thus adding the demand of saving money over the long term. The old school Astroturf was brutal for causing many knee injuries because it had superior (dangerously) traction but with bad consequences. The newer artificial turf is much superior in it's playability and ability to mimic natural turf. Costs of artificial turf have dramatically been reduced compared to 10-20 years ago. More companies competing for the market helps as well. The most recent version of these artificial turf fields have the features of not holding/transferring heat by the use of different "pellets". I am very happy that many more schools are able to install a safer artificial turf so that many programs, (football, band, drill team, soccer, etc.) can train, practice, and play on safer field.

Way to go, Sharks!!

Final game from Friday night -- Bridge City 6 Kirbyville 1

Texanlive is a no-go for me too. Not cool!

Final - BC -10 Kelly - 1

Having attended multiple Championships at AT&T as well as the one at NRG, I too acknowledge that AT&T is very accommodating to the teams as well as fans for the UIL games. I had hopes that NRG would have been a better host so the games could return occasionally. The Houston area crowds were many thousands lower than those at AT&T. If you have never attended the UIL Championships, you owe it to yourself to make the trek to Arlington and experience a first-class presentation of our beloved Texas High School Football.

Navasota at Huffman, Friday

4A Div. 1 - Bridge City vs. Navasota, Friday at Huffman

Collins was the QB tonight

Bridge City hasn't run the slot-T since 2017.

Just being curious, why do you say this?

The smaller the school, the better the concession stands! Hamshire- Fannett used to have Al-T's Boudin balls!! Love those small school concessions! Literally the "flavor of Friday Nights"!!!

With these two Wing-T teams, I predict the game will be over about 8:45....😎

Add Bridge City ISD to the closures today ( 9-18 )

I was very impressed with Evadale. They are a solid, well-coached team. Good luck to the Rebels for the rest of the season!

Those other guys aren't bad!!

Congratulations! Long overdue for the H-J kids!!

Congratulations, Bulldogs! Keep it rolling!!

I believe that Santa Fe's head coach, Ronnie Wulf, was at West Orange Stark many years ago. Confirmation Mustangs?

I'll be there!!

Obviously a word that neither team understands....

A Mustang Donkey-Stomp......

To see Ply, you would have needed to seen him on Thursday nights with the JV team. He is a good player being pressed into emergency service.

I spoke to Dr. Myers, Cleveland's Superintendent last night. He told me that Cleveland ISD is up 500 students from last year! Their high school numbers are 1200+. Crazy growth over there.
