East Texas knows a thing or two about Friday night football, and you don't have to travel far to find communities where high school football is a major event. From Tyler to Longview and the smaller towns in between, football brings people together every fall.

It might seem silly to some people, but football is more than a sport in Texas, it is a way of life. Sure, that might seem ridiculous until you look at some of the big names that have done well playing College Football and making it to the NFL. In Texas, football is serious, and it doesn’t just start in high school, many of these players start at a very young age in hopes of going to the pros one day.

And the football culture starts long before high school. For many young players, putting on their first set of football pads and jersey is a huge moment. Then comes the opportunity to represent their high school, their family and their community under the Friday night lights.

Of course, in Texas, even the stadiums can be bigger than life.
