Lubbock High football snaps 18-year drought in Battle of the Silver Spurs

It's not just another high school football game when Lubbock High and Monterey face off. Ask any Lubbock native, and they'll say the same thing when you mention the town's two oldest schools: " Oh, the Battle for the Spurs ?" The matchup, which started in 1956, is part of the fabric of high school football in the Hub City. In that same vein, the silver spurs haven't moved from their perch inside the Monterey High School display case since 2007. They go along with the football from the first game, which saw Monterey claim a 27-7 victory on Thanksgiving back in 1956. That spot will have a vacancy following Lubbock High's 45-26 victory over the Plainsmen in a District 2-5A Division I contest Friday, Nov. 6, at PlainsCapital Park at Lowrey Field. "We had to bring the tradition back," said Lubbock High senior running back Nathan Johnson, who netted touchdown runs from 4 and 32 yards. "Out of all the games that we've played, this is the game that my team really wanted. And you could tell, they were killin' it at practice. "The coaches kept preaching to win during the week, it's not win day of the game.

Tulia football meets Floydada for our Game of the Week

Here's a look at the best Week 11 high school football games in the Texas Panhandle. Game of the Week Floydada (5-4, 1-2) at Tulia (6-3, 3-0) 7 p.m. Friday, Younger Field The Hornets are one win away from an undefeated District 2-2A Division I title under the tutelage of first-year head coach Trevor Cordova. Led by star quarterback Jacob Trevino and a handful of talented skill position players, Tulia's offense is averaging 41 points per game, leading the team to an impressive turnaround. The Hornets went 2-8 in 2025, including an 0-4 mark in district play. That was against a different group of opponents, though, as offseason UIL realignment dropped Tulia from District 1-3A Division II to the team's current league. Now, with a new head coach and in a new district, the Hornets are looking for a fourth consecutive win and a complete "worst-to-first" resurgence. Floydada is led by former West Texas head coach Jeff Smith, who is in his first year at the helm with the Whirlwinds after leading the Comanches to a state semifinal appearance in 2025. Smith's squad is coming off its first district win against Hale Center in Week 10 and is looking to
