High school football is back!
As the August sun beats down on South Texas, the smell of fresh-cut grass, athletic tape, and determination fills the air in small towns like Devine, Lytle, and Natalia. And with it comes the grueling tradition of two-a-day practices, more intense weight-training sessions, and post-practice sprints followed by ice baths and rehab, and first and second scrimmages that all combine to set the tone for the season ahead.
To the proud football squads here’s wishing you the absolute best in 2025 as you lace up your cleats, buckle your chin straps, and latch those pesky clips in front of your shoulder pads prior to doing the dirty work that many do not even knows exists during these next three weeks of critical preparation.
While it is true that district championships are not won during the initial parts of the training cycle, the habits formed now, good or bad, will be the ones that carry through the season and ultimately play a huge role in the success of each team’s campaign.
Wishing all good health above all else, then sending out good luck and winning vibes to each team’s program.
