High School Football in Texas.

Football in itself is a touchy subject when people are dealing with it in Texas. The same can be said for High School Football for Texas. In some cases entire cities shut down on Friday nights just to watch their High School team play. Texas probably has the most heated and knowledgeable fans out of the entire country. Athletes spend their entire life breathing, living, and playing the game of football. For example, since the High School season has started Bob O’Donald has been watching the teams’ football’s practice whenever he has free time. Mr. O’Donald is not involved with the team, he is not a coach, or an athletic trainer, and he is a fan. “Football in Texas is a religion,” Anderson said. “In Clyde, it’s no different” (Myers). In Texas many fans share the same view about football, they live through their high school team. On Friday nights they shut down their life and make it a tradition going to the lights and watching their team play.
