State bragging rights
are at stake for many
The days of crossing state lines are here. If you like high school football on the national level this might catch your attention.
Through the years Texas have been known to many across the nation as a football crazy state. Huge crowds, town closings, cities draped in school colors and more.
Now the time is here to get a glimpse of action outside the state. This is not the first time schools have traveled to other states but each year seems to bring out bigger and better games, a sure way to keep fans at the edge of their seat. It’s becoming a thing of the future.
Some of America’s top high school football programs will meet in 2010. Here are some spicy match ups to keep in mind. Though all have not been finalized, most have. Times and game sites are still being determined for most.
