Some former Texas high school football stars likely will be deciding factors on how Super Bowl LV goes Sunday for the Chiefs and Buccaneers.
TRACING THEIR ROOTS: What state has produced the most Super Bowl starting quarterbacks?
Obviously, the play of Patrick Mahomes, who played football, basketball and baseball at Whitehouse High School, will be huge in the Chiefs' fortunes, while former Ball High star Mike Evans and McKinney North's Ronald Jones II are two of Tampa Bay's biggest weapons on offense.
No player from Houston proper will be suited up in the game, but guys like Galveston's Mike Evans, The Woodlands' Antoine Winfield and Sealy's Ricky Seals-Jones hope to make a play.
