Texas football powerhouse out of playoffs after court ruling
Just a few days ago, Argyle Liberty Christian (TX) announced that it would be seeking legal action against the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) decision to ban the Warriors from postseason play . On Tuesday, a Denton County Courthouse denied the school's request for a temporary restraining order. Charles Baggarly of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the decision was announced after several hours of deliberation. The ruling keeps Liberty Christian out of the TAPPS Division I postseason. According to Baggarly, 362nd Judicial District Court Judge Bruce McFarling ruled that TAPPS did not do anything illegal or against public policy. The ruling from McFarling came down to proper due process, not whether the athlete was coached by Griffin or if the athlete was ineligible. More: Texas high school football rankings: USA TODAY Sports Super 10, Week 13 The first round of the postseason was moved back a week to allow for changes to be made to the eight-team bracket.

Football Playoff Preview: Top storylines, teams, players as the postseason begins
The brackets are set, and the high school football playoffs are about to officially get underway. Thursday marks the beginning of the bi-district round, as teams throughout the area begin vying for the opportunity to compete for a state championship. It’s a feat that Frisco Lone Star nearly accomplished last season after making a run to the Class 5A Division I state championship game. Meanwhile, Allen and Celina finished out their respective campaigns as state semifinalists. With those programs and plenty others back in the postseason mix this time around, Star Local Media previews the local action ahead. Storylines Eagle eyes on the prize All season long, Allen has had the look of one of the very best teams in the state. The Eagles went unbeaten against an opening slate of Duncanville, DeSoto, Southlake Carroll and Prosper and did so by a collective score of 183-69. Allen hasn’t slowed since, running the table in 6-6A at 7-0 with an average margin of victory of 53.1 points. The Eagles did so despite replacing 40 seniors from last season and entrusting key roles to several underclassmen – a learning curve that sophomores like quarterback Ty Snell (1,781 passing yards, 30 total touchdowns),

Texas football playoffs: Analyzing paths for Aledo, North Crowley, Carroll, more
The UIL Texas high school football playoffs are here. See analysis breaking down potential playoff paths and top storylines to watch: Can anyone challenge North Crowley? North Crowley (10-0, 7-0), ranked No. 1 in Class 6A by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, will be a considerable favorite the entirety of the playoffs. But just because teams are expected to win, doesn’t mean it always happens. North Crowley still has to stay healthy, execute and avoid the upset against some of Texas’ top squads. In addition, a potential regional final matchup against No. 10 Longview could be in store. The state championship will likely be the toughest game for whatever team makes it out of the Region 1 and 2 side, as No. 4 Houston King (9-1) or No. 5 Ridge Point (10-0) could be waiting. A matchup against No. 2. Allen (10-0), a team in the Division I bracket that has a case for best in Texas football, won’t happen. Why Southlake Carroll could be dangerous If North Crowley comes out of Region 2, it could rematch No. 16 Southlake Carroll (8-2), a team that will likely provide a much tougher challenge than in nondistrict play, when the Dragons fell to
