3 East Texas Football Teams Playing for a State Championship This Week

(Carthage, Texas) - After a long season of hard practices and tough games, three East Texas football teams are getting ready for the big game. These student athletes have worked hard to get to this point. It really doesn't matter where you live in East Texas, you'll be rooting on these young men.

The state championship football games are this week at AT&T stadium in Arlington. How cool is that getting to play a game on the same field as the Dallas Cowboys. Carthage Bulldogs, Kilgore Bulldogs and Joaquin Rams will get that chance this week.
