 * High School Football in Texas**



By: Max Cerrillo

High school football has been a huge part of the Texas culture since 1951. "In the fall of 1951, a new era was about to dawn upon the Texas schoolboy football scene" (Ronnie Carter). During 1951, Texas had divided all their high school football teams into five different divisions. There was AAAA, AAA, AA, A and Class B with Class B being a six and eight man team. These divisons had about 50 teams that would play for the state championship in December. Since every team would play each other in the district, some of the games became heated rivalries. The famous Midland Lee and Permian began a little after the Texas divisions were created. Every Thanksgiving, the rivalry games would be played. Year after year on this holiday, people would fill stands in order to watch their favorite team play their rivals. Football would then become one of the biggest parts of Texas culture.
