New High Scoring Teams Point To An Exciting Year In Texas High School Football

When perennial powers like Refugio, Mart and Schulenburg plus a defending state champion (Hamilton) open a season with big losses, you just know that the ipsets and teams emerging that for years had been let out of the title chases. Scores for the aforementioned teams show that 2026will be different from normal.

George West 40, Refugio 0

Whitney 40, Mart 0

Hallettsville 49, Schulenburg 0

Bremond 26, Hamilton

Those surprise losses, especially the size of the first three, were also accompanied by others, such as Thorndale's 43-15 whipping of Burton; DeLeon's 40 to 7 win over San Saba; and Whitewright's 43 points to Clarksville's 10.

Then, there were those openers that pretty much proceeded as expected: Shiner 41, Industrial 12; Muenster 55, Lindsay 0; Mason 58, Reagan County 0; Ganado 49, Tidehaven 6; Comanche 28, Breckenridge 0.
