Texas is actually played over two weekends, all at ATT stadium.
6 man played last weekend.
Thursday was 1A and 2A, div 1 and 2(4 games). Friday was 3A div 1 and 2 and 4A div 1, Sat was 4A div 2 and 5A div 1 and 2.
5A div 1 had over 54k. Over 200k for total attendance. And they are all shown live on FSSW.
I went last year on the final day, and it is really well done. We had a really good time.

In all seriousness, they should dump all the money into basketball. They could be the best program in the state with better facilities and support.

I love football period, doesn't matter what level I will go to games and watch. Last 5 years have been awsome because I've had family playing hs football here in tx. These next 6 yrs will be even better. Have a kid who will be playing at a&m next season. A kid who has cut his list to LaTech, okst tcu & baylor is c/o 2015. Then there is a kid 6"4 wr who ran one of the fastest 200 times in the jr olympics last summer who loves LSU to death that will come out of the class of 2017. The last kid c/o 2019 6"0 safety, lb & te could have a better h.s. career than the others, because he has been competeing vs them all his life.The game is much better when you have someone your pulling for on the field. I can't wait until august next year hs football rules in tx and la.
Living here in Texas coming from la where football is life. I feel that if the Kids in la had the camps, coaching, training centers, and facilities that Houston and dallas have la would put out 10x the amount of d1 players they do now. The espn 300 would look like the 2014 class every year. Espn would have to come out with a new list like the Louisiana top 100 because they would take so many spots in the espn 300.
Before I moved to tx I would always go to games neville, ouachita, west monroe, ruston, ocs, wossman, & carroll didn't matter it was great football.
My last state game in la was 1999 west monroe vs evangel in the superdome with 45,000 ppl evangel won one of te best football games I've seen period and best qb ive seen in brock berlin until. Attending my 1st playoff game in houston madison vs north shore in front of 50,000 ppl. Madison had a kid name vince young and boy did he put on a show against North Shore, haven't seen a kid with talent like that since glen ellis at ouachita.
We went last Saturday to watch katy vs johnson(sa) at reliant stadium in the state semi finals in front of maybe 30,000.
I love hs football because its at its purest form..

Any adult with more than a passing interest in high school sports (unless you have a kid playing) is probably not all there.

I've even stooped to watching the CFL if I stumpled upon it during the off-season.

In addition to the people who support a school because they have a strong sense of community, you dismiss all the people who volunteer their time and talent so kids can enjoy a sport.
Perhaps you are the one who is not "all there".

Nah. Caring about your former high school's athletics and giving your time is one thing. Caring about "high school football" in the larger sense is quite another. They're really not the same thing at all.

I enjoy going to high school football games. They are fun to watch and you get to see players just having fun.
I don't get real excited about it, but for 5 bucks it's hard to beat it.

Really so not living in the town I graduated in but volunteering and giving my time to the schools in the town I live in now is wrong. GTFO of here with that shite. I'm sorry you hate kids.

Its not wrong. I just find it odd. Maybe its a small town thing. And no, I don't like kids.

Oh, so now you aren't "all there" if you volunteer at a school you didn't graduate from.
DUH....

Looks like I struck a nerve. By the way, the high school kids you're helping out probably wonder what the hell you're doing there as well.

No you just sound like a cynical arse. It's called giving back. Some of us believe in helping others even when there is nothing in it for us except the satisfaction of know you helped. Sorry you don't see it that way, but there is nothing odd about it.

I train/evaluate HS football officials so the kids and the coaches know exactly what I do.
