High School Career Ends for Oklahoma State QB Commit Carson White

It was a rough final night of the high school football career of Oklahoma State quarterback commitment Carson White. The 6-2, 210 pound dual threat standout and four-star prospect that committed to Oklahoma State and head coach Eric Morris way back in the spring saw his Fort Bend Hightower Hurricanes bow out in the bi-district round of the UIL Texas Class 6A playoffs. It was a game that had more connections to Oklahoma State than just White as Katy Thompkins High School led start to finish in a 36-22 win at Legacy Stadium in Katy, Texas.

As more state funding flows into private education, new data have raised questions about how these dollars impact public schools that serve primarily Black students. An analysis by the Texas Center for Voucher Transparency and Every Texan reports that 733 Texas school districts could lose nearly $300 million in state funding this school year.
