High school football playoff games start Thursday, and East Texas will be well-represented.  And several East Texas stadiums will be site hosts too.  

This is a great time to be a high school football fan.

There will be several places to catch games over the next few days with several of our biggest stadiums hosting games, and it will be a chance to see teams that you might not have seen before.  Every fan wants their team to be in the bracket, but if your school didn't make the playoffs there it's a chance to soak in some second-hand spirit.  Lindale, Whitehouse, Pittsburgh, and Sulphur Springs are just a few of the stadiums that will be host sites this week.
