Traditional powers West Orange-Stark and Newton have their swagger back. Column on both programs returning to the state title game. And why Hiawatha Hickman might deserve an apology from Mustang fans. #txhsfb

In the first game of conference play nationally, Incarnate Word pulls a mild shocker over McNeese 71-67. Cowboys start Southland play 0-1, after losing exactly 1 game in league play each of the last 2 seasons (19-1 in 24/25 & 17-1 in 23/24). Heck of a W for Shane Heirman & UIW.
