Texas football.
At 6A (highest "level"):
Our "local" team, a historic Texas powerhouse, Southlake, played Duncanville last night. Duncanville has never beat Southlake, or if they have, it's been a long time since that happened.
Both Southlake and Duncanville are DFW metroplex teams. They both came into the game undefeated for the season. They were ranked #5 and #6. I believe Duncanville was ranked #5.
The score: Duncanville beat Southlake ... 51 to 7.
Duncanville now goes on to the semifinals to play Allen, TX. Allen is ranked #1. Allen is the defending state champion.
Last year, to win the Texas state championship, Allen defeated Midway .... 51 to 7.
One last item of note. The Heisman winner last night: Kyler Murray. From wiki:
Murray attended Allen High School in Allen, Texas.
As a senior in 2014, he was the Gatorade Football Player of the Year.
His team won three straight state championships and 43 games in a row. He missed one start during this streak and finished his career with a perfect 42–0 record as a starting quarterback.Time to watch the movie. From wiki:
Friday Night Lights is a 2004 American sports drama film, directed by Peter Berg. The film follows the coach and players of a high school football team in the Texas city of Odessa, which supported and was obsessed with them.
The book on which it was based, Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream (1990) by H. G. Bissinger, followed the story of the 1988 Permian High School Panthers football team as they made a run towards the state championship.
A television series of the same name premiered on October 3, 2006 on NBC. The film won the Best Sports Movie ESPY Award and was ranked number 37 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Best High School Movies.Duncanville's mascot? The Panthers.
