I have always wanted a list of ALL the high school football stadiums in Texas.  I have a good start, but I'll need your help to make it complete.  Check out the database by clicking the link above.  Look for your stadium.  If it is  not listed, submit it, if it is  listed but is incomplete or have errors in the listing, submit the corrections.
Thanks for your help.

Spike Dykes

One of may favorite High School Football Coach stories.

"Spike Dykes, the recently retired head coach of Texas Tech, tells a story about the first time, as the head coach of Tech, he beat Jackie Sherrill's mighty Texas A&M in Lubbock. "After the game," says Dykes, "Bill Hart of the Abilene Reporter News asked me, 'This is the biggest win of your life, isn't it?' And I said, 'No, not really. The biggest win of my life was when I was coaching at Coahoma and we beat Aspermont.' He thought I was kidding, but it really was. I never will forget that football game. It was the darndest thing I ever saw. And that happens every Friday night all over this state.""
