Every Friday, FOX news in the Dallas/Fort Worth area features a local high school football game. Due to winning poll numbers, our campus hosted the FOX Game of the Week crew.

“For the kids, I really don’t think that’s their motivation, I really don’t think that added to them being nervous, I think that the natural nervousness comes with this being a big game,” head coach Matt Greene said.

That is was the game of the week didn’t make a difference to the players.

“We kept things the same and didn’t really think about it all that much,” junior Stephen Bennett said.

However, some felt that the game being featured on FOX news added to the high stakes of the game.

“Yeah it added a lot of pressure to a game that was going to be intense from the start, but that didn’t change the fact that it was extremely enjoyable,” junior Mason Olk said.

After pulling out the win over Sherman, the football team has bonded and has high hopes for playoffs.

“I thought it was a fun challenge and we really came together as a team to get the victory,” Bennett said.
