Someday, somewhere, someone may ask you “Remember the time Malakoff played at AT&T Stadium for the state title?” and you can answer “Well, yes, I do.”

Malakoff’s playoff train that made 31 successful stops over two seasons reached the end of the line at AT&T Stadium against the Columbus Cardinals on Thursday.

Almost all of the districts where our Henderson County teams battled this year produced champions that climbed high up the playoff ladder.

I remember a time when after January 1 football was pretty much done. We’d watch the Bowl Games on New Year’s Day then pretty much get on with our lives.

Jan. 8—I remember a time when after January 1 football was pretty much done. We'd watch the Bowl Games on New Year's Day then pretty much get on with our lives.

Cheer, Cheer for old Notre Dame, of Rudy, the Gipper and Montana fame.

On a night when TVCC honored Hall-of-Fame Coaches Leon Spencer and Lewis Orr, the current Cards made a mark, with a win over Navarro.

As you might imagine, the state finalist Malakoff Tigers earned a bushel of spots on the All-District 7-3A D1 team.
