From the desk of Dave Campbell: La Vega, Mart titles were oh so sweet
Our Editor-in-Chief, a La Vega grad who lives just down the road from Mart, enjoyed the different ways in which his local teams won state championships.
One game was a runaway, one was hammer and claw; one was never in doubt, one was tied at halftime; one was a repeat state football championship; and for one it was only the second state football crown in history. But both the Mart Panthers and the La Vega Pirates fought their way to the top of the heap in Texas football competition in their classifications late last week, and it was oh so sweet.
That in a few words is what happened in that big AT&T Football Stadium where the Dallas Cowboys play (often called Jerryworld) and where soon the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and the Tigers of Clemson will clash to decide which of the two teams will advance to play the winner of the Oklahoma-Alabama football game and thus play for the 2018 College Football Championship.
