Texas high school football delayed until September

Texas has become the next state to weigh in on when its high school football season will start. And the Lone Star State is proceeding with caution, pushing its kickoff to Sept. 7, with games starting September 24 amid COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.

The UIL announced today their plans for the 2020 season. The change primary reflects 5 and 6A schools; as 1-4A stay on track for a normal season.
