HOUSTON -- The C.E. King High School football team lost nearly everything when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston a year ago. Now, thanks to the Texans, the team will have a new field to play on this season.
On Monday, the Texans announced that they are donating the turf they played on at NRG Stadium last season to the high school, whose field was flooded and destroyed by Harvey. The team, who had to be bused to a local elementary school for classes last year, lost most of its football equipment in the flood.
"It means a lot to me to play on a field the Texans played on," senior linebacker Rodrick Crumedy said.
