Well, high school football Week 0 is in the books and fan from Tyler and all around East Texas crowded together at football stadiums to see a tradition unlike any other.
The Tyler Lee Red Raiders were played host to the Sulphur Spring Wildcats at Trinity Mother Francis Rose Stadium, and they put on a good show for home fans in attendance.
There are so many fascinating story lines surrounding East Texas Teams this season.
Chapel Hill went to back-to-back state championships. Can they go back and add to that success. There’s no reason to think they won’t at least be contenders, especially after the opening night’s win over the Lindale Eagles.
Speaking of the state championship, John Tyler made a run at it last year and just fell short deep in the playoffs against Guyer by 4 points. The Lions finished the season with an overall record of 13-2. They’ve come back with a full-reloaded team in 2013 and it could be just a matter of correcting their mistakes made in 2012 and applying those lessons in the 2013.
The final are some of the scores from opening week:
Chapel Hill 56, Lindale 37
Coppell 32, Longview 24
Tyler Lee 55, Sulphur Springs 20
Lufkin 52, John Tyler 28
