Fort Worth Weekly
This year’s Texas high school football state championship games wrap up this weekend. When I say “this year’s,” of course, I really mean “last year’s.” Normally the fall seasons conclude just as winter arrives. In 2020, not so much.
Thus we saw COVID-related delays that caused the season to finally reach its conclusion in mid-January with the 5A and 6A games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Though I live very close to that facility, the one title game I saw in person happened a few hours southwest of it. And the reason I attended made the game more remarkable in a way that would have mattered greatly even in a normal year.
