FOX Sports Southwest, in conjunction with the University Interscholastic League, announced the return of Texas Football Days during a press conference at the Texas High School Coaches Association’s annual Coaching School and Convention in San Antonio.
The live televised games will be on Friday, Aug. 31. The two live match-ups will be Brock at Brownwood from Gordon Wood Stadium at 5:30 p.m. CT, followed by the classic rivalry game between Lufkin and Longview from Lobo Stadium at 8:30 p.m. CT.
For the first time, teams involved will be competing to take home a Texas Football Days trophy (pictured above) to commemorate the official start to the 2018 season.
