Fans of high school football in Texas have been on the edge of their seats waiting to see if the 2020 season will be canceled…. After an offseason filled with uncertainty amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of high school football teams returned to the gridiron this week to begin their first official practices of the season. The Klein ISD schools were together in this district last year, while the Tomball ISD schools will replace the Conroe ISD schools. Tomball moves up from 5A, while Tomball Memorial comes over from District 14-6A. Despite the global pandemic, the stars appear to be aligning this year for Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies. A&M finished 8-5 and 4-4… With star quarterbacks in Spring ISD, the “fastest player in Texas” at Dekaney, a revitalized Aldine side, and plenty of familiarity among these eight teams, it is a district loaded with talent and storylines. The Texas Tech Red Raiders may not have finished Matt Wells’ first season on a high note, but look to take the next step in 2020. Tech finished 4-8, including a 2-7 Big 12 mark, and lost six of its last seven games. There has been another twist in the tale of this Texas high school football season, potentially impacting several programs at the 4A level and below. The TCU Horned Frogs had a rare down year under head coach Gary Patterson in 2019 posting just five wins and going 3-6 in Big 12 play. The new schedule starts on September 25th with a home game against Cedar Park and then concludes on the day after Thanksgiving, November 27th, with a road game against rival Lake Travis. Longhorn fans hope that Year No. 4 under head coach Tom Herman will see Texas come back to the Big 12 elite after struggling in 2019. This season, Grand Oaks is playing in its first ever season in a UIL district and joins the other four Conroe ISD schools along with Willis, which moves up from 5A, to complete this six team district. This announcement opened a whole new can of worms as 1A-4A teams currently restricted by local health orders will now see their seasons shortened while their counterparts get a head start. This season, Grand Oaks is playing in its first ever season in a UIL district and joins the other four Conroe ISD schools along with Willis, which moves up from 5A, to complete this six team district. The logic behind this schedule is that smaller schools located in smaller communities will have less risk of community spread of COVID-19, making it theoretically safer for high school football seasons to begin in those communities.

The change primary reflects 5 and 6A schools; as 1-4A stay on track for a normal season. Despite conversations happening between University Interscholastic League (UIL) leaders all summer regarding the return to sports amid COVID-19, no concrete plan had been set. It has been a whirlwind of a week and a half for teams, coaches, and players across Texas and the dust isn’t settled just yet as the fate of the Texas high school football season continues to hang in the balance. The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors snag another Texas high school football recruit as Highland Park’s three-star quarterback announced his commitment to the program on Saturday evening:
