High School
Tepper: Brace yourself — the 2020 Texas high school football season will be different
DCTF managing editor Greg Tepper on the realities of a Texas high school football season during a pandemic.
As far as I can tell, the 2020 Texas high school football season is slated to kick off in earnest at 5 p.m. CT on Thursday, August 27. That’s when toe is scheduled to meet leather when San Marcos Baptist Academy hosts Dallas Fairhill School in a TAPPS six-man contest. The UIL season isn’t far behind, at 6 p.m., with a handful of games across the Lone Star State — from Class 6A (Cy Springs at Katy Taylor) to Class 1A (Turkey Valley vs. Aspermont in the kickoff of the annual Jayton Gridiron Classic).
We’re in that strange part of the calendar where time feels fluid. Football is simultaneously right around the corner (only 59 days!) and far off in the future (how are we expected to wait 59 more days?).
