State's elite in football go big time
The Southlake Carroll-Denton Ryan game to be televised on ESPN2 tonight has created plenty of buzz about state titles and rankings.
It's the first Texas high school game on national TV.
Carroll officials had been in negotiations for almost six months to play a televised game. The plans were cemented about a month ago.
It won't be the only Texas high school football game on TV tonight.
Capitalizing on last week's release of Friday Night Lights, Fox Sports Net is showing the Midland Lee-Odessa Permian game. That game will be preceded by a 30-minute special detailing the rivalry between the two schools.
