After a big win over Gilmer last week, the Carthage Bulldogs have one more non-district game before launching into district play next week on the quest to defend the state title.  And the Longview Lobos take a #4 ranking into an important game at home this weekend against Wylie East.

We're a full month into the high school football season and all-important district play is beginning for most teams, if not this weekend then next weekend. Every game is important because the seasons are short!  If you're thinking about picking a sideline and heading to a game this weekend, here are your choices.
