KATY COACH:

Katy coach Gary Joseph has had teams play in state championships in both venues and each was "well-handled." He'd like to see the title game rotate between all three venues, because "it'd good for everybody."

Last season, no D-FW team won a state title, the first time that occurred in five years, leading to some questions about whether local schools have an advantage playing close to home.

"There is an effect," Joseph said. "There's no doubt. If there wasn't an effect people would play a whole bunch of road games. There's an effect on your fans, and on your kids. 

 

Canadian disproves this theory.

Really??? Is Refugio a "Houston area" team?

You ought to consult Google Maps before making another laughable statement like that.  

 

Posts like yours illustrate what happens when someone thinks they know more than someone like Katy Coach Gary Joseph.

Um...can you not read?  CANADIAN is in the panhandle.  Maybe you should look at google maps.  And I said Canadian because not only are they the only team in Texas High School history to win state titles back to back in both basketball and football.  And they won 2 different football titles in 2 different venues...and they traveled further than any team in the state by far.

 

Refugio?... lol.  Where did that even come from?

I am pretty sure Brock - Weatherford (30 minutes from Ft. Worth) - is considered by DFW. Maybe not by the Dallas folk, but certainly by the FW folk

Oh because they played Refugio?

I was referring to what he said about the effect on your fans and kids. And not a person traveled further than Canadian.

By the way...I'm willing to bet Refugio had more people in Houston than Canadian did.

Brock is closer to Arlington than Celina by 7 minutes according to mapquest.

Further proves my argument that Brock (3a Div. 1) state champion is indeed DFW.

NRG failed miserably. They did not take care of the teams, coaches, media or written press. The crowds were bad and yes, the money was down. The UIL is a business, and making money should be important. But regardless of how much money was lost, the fact is NRG hates hosting High School games and does a horrible job in game presentation should be the over riding factor. AT&T loves High School football and love him or hate him, Jerry Jones takes care of the teams, coaches, and media. And it is just a much more pleasurable experience, keep the games in DFW, I will be happy to make the drive.

NRG was great with the media. Zero problems.
