High school football in Austin, Texas, is off to a thrilling start, filled with surprises, coaching changes, and standout performances. The 2024 season kicked off with a bang as Anderson High School defeated McCallum in the 52nd Taco Shack Bowl, marking the beginning of Central Texas high school football.
In other news, the University Interscholastic League (UIL) has been busy implementing new rules to ensure student safety during outdoor sports, particularly in the heat. Additionally, the UIL has approved split divisions for non-football sports, aiming to enhance competition and fairness.
However, not all teams are having a smooth start. Linden-Kildare, a 2A Division II program, has faced unprecedented turmoil. After naming Jason Ferguson as their new athletic director and head football coach in April, the team suffered two lopsided defeats. Ferguson's tenure was cut short due to an agreement to part ways, and assistant coach JD Russell took over as interim head coach. But in a shocking turn of events, Russell stepped down just two days later, leaving Superintendent Rex Burks to take the reins as interim athletic director and head football coach.
Central Texas teams are making their mark in the rankings. Westlake High School leads the Class 6A rankings with a 2-0 record after a dominant 63-7 win over San Benito. Lake Travis follows closely, having edged out Rockwall 45-42. In Class 5A, Weiss High School stands strong with a 2-0 record, while Cedar Park made a statement by defeating 6A Vandegrift 49-46.
Thursday's games saw Bowie top Glenn 42-21 and East View pound Belton 48-14, showcasing the competitive spirit of Central Texas football.
As the season progresses, fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming matchups and the potential for more surprises. With coaching changes, new rules, and exciting games, this season promises to be one for the books. Stay tuned for more updates from the world of Austin high school football.
