Post Texas Football Roadtrip Blog and Book
I am getting ready to start a book project following eleven Texas HS football teams, a week at a time, from all classifications and parts of the state. From the six-man ranks, I will be spending a week with the Throckmorton Greyhounds. I have started a blog where I will be documenting what I'm seeing every week. The blog is up and running and I will be updating it regularly from the road during the trip. The site is http://texasfootballroadtrip.com. Take a look!
Thanks!!

GL

A single game isn't going to do it. Pick a team where the enrollment means they play for the love of the game, teams like Morgan with 28 students or Patton Springs with 25. These young men play for the pride of the school, against some pretty steep odds. Where else will you find all state honors in a 160 lb young man?

Pete, I'm not sure that Morgan has a player that weighs 160, but I agree with your point.

Thanks for the advice. I think I have a pretty good cross section. I'm leaving the preseason open to go visit more programs. I'll try to get to some of the smaller schools, any suggestions you have on places to visit are much appreciated.

Surprisingly, we have several players over 190.

I don't have a kid in my whole school over 180, football or not. But am very excited to see the heart these kids bring to the field.
