For a detailed explanation of the regional breakdowns as well as the rankings methodology, read this piece.Today: The Big Country. Of the 16 regions into which Dave Campbell’s Texas Football divides the Lone Star State, there’s maybe no more nebulous one than the Big Country. Intended to represent the wide-open spaces between Dallas-Fort Worth, Waco, Austin and the Midland/Odessa Petroplex, it’s hard to know where this region begins and ends. But nebulous doesn’t work around here; we need boundaries. As such, here is a map of how we are defining “the Big Country.” See how difficult it is to define? And you thought my job was easy! Now that we’ve set the ground rules, let’s take break down the best of high school football in the Big Country in 2016. Top 20
