The John Tyler Lions are set to kick off the season against the Lufkin Panthers.
Time flies when you’re having fun, and when you’re flat out busy with not time to spare. Regardless, this summer has flown by and is almost
over. A good side to that though is the fact football season is right around the corner.
NFL training camps are in full swing as are college football and Aug. 5 will be the first day of practices for high schools around the state of Texas.
What’s not to like about football at any level? East Texas has seen several of its own hometown athletes go on to do bigger and better things at the college and pro levels, so why not take advantage this football season and be among some of the first people to see the next Adrian Peterson or Earl Campbell.
As for teams right here, the John Tyler Lions are slated to open up 2013 season on the road against the Lufkin Panthers. The Robert E. Lee Red Raiders will also be on the road as they take on the Sulphur Springs Wildcats. The Chapel Hill Bulldogs will open the season at home when they play host to the Lindale Eagles.
All the Week 0 action is set to take place Friday, August 30.
