Within two days, East Texas has two state high school football championship titles coming home! For the fifth time in school history, the Carthage Bulldogs are state champions!

The LHSAA Louisiana High School Football Playoffs begin this week and with nine different divisions in which to compete, a great number of our local Northwest Louisiana schools will see action.
As this is the final week of regular season high school football in Northwest Louisiana, several teams are still competing for a place at the playoff dinner table.
It's been a year of triumph and a year of heart break for some of our local high school football teams. As the Wide World of Sports used to say, "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."
