ERCOT in February "we shut down because it was just too cold, our grid is built to handle the Texas Summer"
ERCOT in June "ohh my bad, its also too hot"
Kyler Murray, Allen HS Enrollment: 6,664
LJ Collier, Munday HS Enrollment: 92
Both state champions, both first round picks and both proof if you can play it doesn't matter what school you go to, you have a path to greatness

The South Oak Cliff Golden Bears are state champions
Soak it in SOC and Dallas, the first inner city state champion since 1985 and the first Dallas ISD state champion (officially) since 1958.
They did it for the city.

What an incredible honor, thank you so much to the
#txhsfb
coaches who felt I was deserving of this honor and thanks to all of you who have supported me through the years
Not a fan of Edinburg CISDs decision to remove themselves from the playoffs...punish the player, punish the coaches and admin if they were negligent but not the other kids who did nothing wrong
#txhsfb
All these 6'2 and 6'3 hoopers, now that the season is ending if you arent getting those offers on the court...consider putting on them pads...that athleticism might pay off with scholarships if you give football a shot
Imagine breaking the national 4x100 record and finishing SECOND!!
Texas speed is DIFFERENT
Congrats to Fort Worth Wyatt who held the record for an incredible 25 years!!
Quick health update: I am getting released from the hospital today & will be continuing my treatment at home for the next 5 weeks. Thanks to the

Congrats to every 4A, 3A and 2A coach in the state of Texas, we did it...in spite of ALL the challenges we completed the football season. Some played more games than others, but the kids got to play. Thanks

Gary Patterson's legacy at TCU is cemented...what he built in Fort Worth is a miracle...Frog fans and Ft Worth should be nothing but appreciative of what he did
Reminder that the TEA has been under GOP control for what 25 years? The agenda schools push is the agenda set forth by the state government...fund our public schools and equip our public schools teachers w/the tools necessary to equip ALL children to be productive citizens
Schools shouldn’t push woke agendas – period.
That’s why I signed laws to remove woke politics from Texas classrooms.
In Texas, we’re getting kids back to the basics of learning.
BREAKING The UIL has issued guidance through the RMA portal that students enrolled in remote learning are ELIGIBLE for extra-curricular activities provided they meet all UIL eligibility requirements
#txhsfb
Although restaurants in TX are opening up May 1 (at 25% capacity) I'm probably going to sit things out (literally) for a little while longer....just my cautious take
Man sure looks like these indoor facilities are great for track, baseball, softball, soccer ohh and football too....all sports win when a district invests in their kids

Based on this photo I have to walk back that being a bad DPI call on SOC, the flag was late but coming out of the break this is a DPI

You don't think the

playoffs are important?? Walk past a team that just lost a gut wrenching playoff game and see not just the players crying, but cheerleaders, dance team, trainers and coaches
It just means more here
@dctf
I've always been intrigued by top district administration who dont send their children to the school district they work in...IMO its tough to get community buy-in if the ISD is good enough to get a paycheck from but not good enough to send your kids to school there...
This tweet is going viral...I dont have a soundcloud to promote and I dont have a tipjar yet (thanks twitter)
So in the meantime just be nice to people
The 2021
#txhsfb
season has come to a close. 72 games, lots of miles, hotel rooms and good food. But what makes the game special is the people thanks to the players, coaches, fans & my media colleagues for making this season amazing.
@Matt_Stepp817
you’re not helping anyone’s case with all of your Covid worrying. Also cut the political crap out. People like to follow you because you report on Texas High school sports. Stick to that.
If I was ranking the top ten 6A teams here at the end of the season I'd go
1) DeSoto
2) Duncanville
3) North Shore
4) Southlake Carroll
5) Austin Westlake
6) Lake Travis
7) Austin Vandegrift
8) North Crowley
9) Cedar Hill
10) Humble Summer Creek
#txhsfb
I'm sorry
@teainfo
if we dont have guidance on what the 2020-2021 school year will look like or if it will be safe to have students in the classroom how can we mandate standardized testing for the school year? That's not whats best for students or teachers....its wrong
Duncanville vs North Shore is everything you want in a
#UILState
game; Dallas vs Houston; big time recruits on both teams; evenly matched on paper; the grand finale of the
#txhsfb
season.... I can not wait..
WOW on the final play Rockdale brings in Gunner Miller; HC Jeff Miller's son who beat cancer (Ewing's Sarcoma) but had to give up football to come in and kneel down on the ball WOW

The Uvalde Coyotes played in a 7on7 Tournament today, not long after an incredible tragedy hit their town. By all accounts they played well today, I hope at least for a few hours the kids got to play a sport they loved and maybe got to be kids for a moment
#txhsfb
If you are the praying type keep Dallas ISD assistant AD Brian Barnett in your prayers. Coach Barnett is in a fight with cancer so keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers
#txhsfb
I just dont understand school districts that waste peoples time when looking for a HC....if you are gonna go inside, dont do a dog and pony show, just be bold and confident in your decision and go with it
#txhsfb
Arresting someone for less than two ounces of weed is an incredible waste of time and taxpayer dollars....take the weed, write a ticket, keep it moving
I get that kids wanna "get that work" but group workouts right now aint the move....it sucks but the quicker we sit still, the quicker we get back to normal...everyone gotta do their part
Another
#txhsfb
season in the books...I dont know how many more of these I'll get so I want to make sure I soak it all in and thank everyone for following along. Thanks to everyone
@dctf
for allowing me to have the best gig in the world.
Let me just say my gut tells me the kids that are getting sick arent getting sick because of workouts...those workouts may be the only time they are socially distancing...kids for better or for worse dont have it in their DNA to distance...I know I sure didnt when I was a kid
Schools are for education, NOT indoctrination.
We must reform curriculum, get kids back to the basics of learning, and empower parents to choose the best school for their child through education freedom.
See stuff like this is why sports, specifically
#txhsfb
is so special
@dctf
We've had a lot taken from us the past few months...I'm glad this didn't get taken from Desmond!!
Desmond Pulliam is a senior defensive lineman with autism spectrum disorder.
Tonight, in Lockhart's rivalry game against Bastrop, he scored his first career touchdown.

For those wondering the UIL did reiterate the message today that the intention is to have a

season this year....so anyone worried about a cancellation of the season can rest easy for the moment
Every player from both teams; every band member, every cheerleader at midfield with Cedar Hill HC Carlos Lynn leading a prayer I am assuming for Mansfield HC Daniel Maberry who is battling cancer

When I was a kid, I took a lot of pride in where I was from....the thought of going to another school was a foreign concept to my friends and myself...we wanted to rep where we were from and shut people up who talked down....

My tia did not make it, she sacrificed herself protecting the kids in her classroom, i beg of you to keep my family including all of her family in y’all’s prayers , IRMA GARCIA IS HER NAME and she died a HERO. she was loved by many and will truly be missed.
I must be doing things right....people on both sides of the CoVid debate think I'm an idiot.....it's like the referee who has both head coaches pissed at him...lol
