Football Playoffs Heads Up

As we approach the final two games of the regular season, it is time to look ahead to the playoffs.  In Texas, four teams from each football district advance to the playoffs.  The teams are then divided into Division I and Division II based on their enrollment numbers.  The two schools with the highest enrollment compete in Division I while the other two compete in Division II.  This means that there will be two champions for Class 6A.

Based on the current standings, Dickinson, Clear Creek, and Friendswood are in the playoffs.  We will clinch the final playoff spot if we win at least one of our last two games or if Clear Brook loses one of their last two games.  According to UIL enrollment numbers, we will be in Division I with Dickinson.

What does all of this mean to the band?  We are required to go to all football games including the playoffs.  Plan on an additional football game the weekend of November 13-14.  The game site and kickoff time will be determined when all of the districts solidify their playoff spots.  It is possible we will not know a day or location of the game until Monday, November 9.  If we win, we will repeat this scenario until we lose or until we win the state championship which takes place at 4:00 PM, December 9, at NRG Stadium (Home of the Texans).

We will continue to serve a pregame meal.  Details about this will be shared at a later date.
