Texas high school football team, state title favorite banned from postseason

One of the top teams in Texas and the presumed favorite in the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Division I championship scene has been removed from postgame contention due to using an ineligible player. Texas high school football rankings: USA TODAY Sports Super 10 Week 12 Greg Riddle of The Dallas Morning News reported Tuesday night, Nov. 3, that Argyle Liberty Christian was the team that received the postseason ban and also had to forfeit games. According to Riddle's report, the player in question was senior receiver Jace Johnson. Johnson transferred to Liberty Christian from Abilene Cooper ahead of the season. A TAPPS executive board meeting held on Tuesday found that the program was found in violation of the “follow the coach" rule. “It was determined that a transfer student-athlete participated on a 7-on-7 team coached by Liberty Christian assistant football coach Antonio Griffin in the year prior to transferring to Liberty,” a news release from TAPPS reads . “Furthermore, the athletic department leadership and football coaching staff knew or should have known of these facts prior to the start of the 2026 football season.” Griffin is Liberty Christian's defensive backs coach and also Johnson's coach for his

Brewer stuns unbeaten Arlington Heights to clinch a share of district title

For the first time since 2021, White Settlement Brewer has clinched a share of the district championship. The Bears did it with style, defeating previously unbeaten Fort Worth Arlington Heights 27-8 Thursday at Brewer Stadium. Brewer (8-2, 6-1) will split the title with Heights (9-1, 6-1) and Fort Worth Wyatt in a three-way tie: Brewer beat Heights, Heights beat Wyatt, and Wyatt beat Brewer. “Super proud of our guys and so happy for our community,” Brewer head coach Marte Amrine Jr. said. “So happy for our program, our kids and our coaches. Because man, it’s a lot. We put a lot of work into it, and our kids come out every morning at 6:15 in practice.” With a point tiebreaker, Brewer took the top seed in District 4-5A Division I and will face Azle (6-4, 3-3) at a time and place to be determined in the UIL bi-district round. “We know we still have work to do,” said Amrine, in his second year leading the program. “We have a lot of dreams and goals that we want to accomplish, and so I’m excited about the next step.” Heights, after trailing 17-0 at the half, made a third-quarter surge but could

Texas law makes it easier to remove students from class. Experts question the impact

Allen, Frisco ISD sport state-ranked boys basketball teams to begin 2026-27 season

Nov. 13 marks the first day of non-district games for UIL boys basketball programs, officially putting the 2026-27 season in full swing. Last season saw programs like Frisco Heritage and Little Elm make history by winning the first state championships in their respective histories. Both teams graduated sizable senior classes, while other area squads look to make their own push towards hoisting a UIL title by season’s end. Several of those programs have generated some early buzz for 2026-27 as part of the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches' preseason state rankings. Class 6A 1. Allen Ranked atop 6A to begin the season, the Eagles are coming off a 24-7 campaign that produced a District 6-6A championship and an appearance in the regional finals. Allen has advanced at least three rounds deep in the playoffs each of the past three seasons, including a state semifinal run in 2025, and it’ll navigate its 2026-27 campaign with four of its top six scorers from last season back in the fold. The Eagles graduated the all-state production and leadership of guard Nehemiah Lawrence and will look players like all-region guard and senior Cadarian Urune-Williams, a Lamar commit, to help pick up that slack.

Marcus erupts in fourth quarter to defeat Wakeland 35-24 in season finale

FLOWER MOUND – The Marcus football team saved its best for last on Thursday night, scoring 21 unanswered fourth-quarter points to defeat Frisco Wakeland 35-24 at Marauder Stadium and earn its first District 5-6A victory of the season. Running back Drew Emmert rushed for 184 yards and four touchdowns on 30 carries, while quarterback Cash Davis completed 20-of-24 passes for 219 yards and a touchdown as the Marauders (3-7, 1-6) snapped a six-game losing streak. Trailing 17-14 entering the fourth quarter, Marcus took the lead when Davis connected with Caleb Steen on a 37-yard touchdown pass with 5:44 remaining. The Marauders recovered an onside kick, setting up Emmert's 7-yard touchdown run with 2:51 left. Emmert added a 20-yard scoring run just over a minute later to extend the lead to 35-17. Marcus coach Mike Alexander said he knew Wakeland would be dangerous late, having watched the Wolverines win their previous two games with fourth-quarter rallies. "I told them, 'Don't be surprised in a tight game in the fourth quarter because they're not going to stop playing,'" Alexander said. With the game still in doubt, Alexander delivered a message to his offense while the defense was on the field. "I said,
