2012 Texas State Meet

Devin Field doesn't hold any bitterness toward the Texas University Interscholastic League (UIL) for ruling him ineligible to compete this spring for DeSoto High School or denying him a chance to defend his state titles in the long and triple jump. ...

Matt Jones was a bit perplexed. Here he was leading DeSoto (Texas) into what was widely considered a gimmee first-round playoff game against Ellison (Killeen, Texas) on Feb. 21 and the Eagles were getting out of character. DeSoto had made easy ...

Flower Mound Marcus may no longer be in the top 10 nationally and may have seen its 42-game win streak snapped after a loss to national powerhouse Findlay Prep (No. 7 in POWERADE FAB 50), but the Marauders are still the team to beat in Texas. Led ...

Another guard from Texas is headed to play for Duke and the all-time winningest coach in college basketball. DeSoto junior Matt Jones committed to the Blue Devils on Monday, making him the program's first pledge from the Class of 2013 and second T...

Texas, we have a new No. 1. The Katy Tigers (12-0) have muscled their way atop this week's Texas state rankings. The Houston-area power defeated Woods (Cypress) 44-30 in a Class 5A Division II area playoff game Friday night. Katy takes over the to...

Allen versus Euless Trinity. It's not every day or year that a matchup like this happens in the second round of all times in the playoffs. Only in Texas. The No. 1 Eagles face their greatest test of the year in No. 3 Trinity, pitting an explosive ...

Since that November evening in 2010 when Trinity (Euless) ended the season of Allen in a 37-35 playoff classic, it almost seemed a matter of course that the two powerhouse programs would meet again. That wait ends at 2 p.m. Saturday. In the second...

In high school football, November is when the real tests are taken. As big rivalry games and the pressure of the playoffs sweep the country, seasons are on the line, and not just rankings and records. It's truly a pass or fail climate this time of...

THURSDAY No. 8 Euless Trinity (Euless, Texas) 10-0 def. MacArthur (Irving, Texas) 34-7 No. 25 DeSoto (DeSoto, Texas) 9-1 lost Longview (Longview, Texas) 23-21 No. 26 Skyline (Dallas) 10-0 def. White (Dallas) 60-0 FRIDAY No. 1 Don Bosco Prep (R...

To say Longview faced a tall task in No. 5 DeSoto on Thursday is probably an understatement. DeSoto entered the contest 9-0 and averaging nearly 50 points per game. Plus, after No. 1 Allen had its way at Longview earlier this year, some thought the L...

Matt Jones is far from rude, but, on this one, his interjection is well-warranted. Why? He doesn't have to think about the question. Not even a bit. Jones knows exactly how to answer it immediately, so when he hears "Where would your career ...

After games ending Saturday, Oct. 29 The playoff field in Texas has grown steadily since the days prior to 1982 when only district champions were allowed entry. When the playoffs begin next week, each district will send four teams into postseason...

Results as of Saturday, Oct. 15. With few upsets in Week 7, there was very little movement in the state rankings. But that could change this week. Three Week 8 games pit Top 25 teams against each other in district contests. Heading the list, No...

Results as of Saturday, Oct. 8 Five unbeaten Dallas-area teams in the state rankings stared down the barrel of defeat last week, but all five were able to avoid midseason upsets with clutch fourth-quarter play. The trend began with No. 1 Allen ...

Only 14 of the top 25 teams in ESPNHS Texas High School Rankings were in action over the weekend. The Week 3 schedule is traditionally lighter because schools in eight-team districts prefer to schedule open dates the week before district play begins....
