The last of the Texas Longhorns’ out-of-state football commits concluded their 2018 season two weeks ago, with two of them ending their high school football careers as state champions. Three in-state commits were still playing as of last week, but just two remain as the Texas high school football playoffs moves its state semifinal round this week.
As reported in last week’s post, T’Vondre Sweat’s Huntsville team lost on a heartbreaking last-minute TD pass after it had clawed back from a 20-point 1st quarter deficit. Hudson Card’s Lake Travis Cavaliers had a stiff challenge from state-ranked Converse Judson but made enough plays (and were on the fortunate end of a controversial 3rd quarter call by the officials) to pull out a victory, while Jordan Whittington’s Cuero Gobblers made quick work of a Geronimo Navarro team they were facing in the playoffs for a remarkable sixth straight season.
