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. Liberty Christian, led by five-star Oklahoma linebacker commit Cooper Witten, was viewed by many as the favorite to win the state championship in the division. TAPPS' original decision was based on findings that found the program broke the

Democrats swept the nation's largest red county. Now a group of Republicans want new leaders

An open letter from several Texas Republicans in what had been known as the largest red county in the nation demands new leadership at the helm of the county party after voters swept Democrats into office in last week’s midterm. Democrats won all of the statewide races in Texas and all of the countywide races in Tarrant County, deserting its title of the largest red county in the nation. Fort Worth is the county seat of Tarrant County. The letter says Tarrant County voters still believe in conservative policies but made it clear they were done with the Republican Party taking them for granted. Organized by former Southlake Mayor John Huffman, the letter was signed by 16 Republicans , most of whom have served as mayors, representatives, school board members and precinct chairs. Other Republicans who believe in the sentiments are welcome to sign on too, Huffman said. Notably missing from the list are Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare and Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker. Neither responded to the Star-Telegram’s requests for comment. By electing Democrats from top to bottom, voters said they were not pleased with the Republicans’ performance in office, commitment to kitchen table issues and divisive party

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
