Just a couple former Godley Wildcats sharing a field together as DI college baseball players at Minute Maid Park in Houston this weekend. TCU's Bobby Goodloe & Texas A&M's Brett Brown.
Around 1,000 people showed up at Burleson HS Wednesday night to honor the life of 16-year-old Tre Allison. Coaches, teammates & friends shared memories of Tre. It was apparent the impact Tre had on those who knew him.

Grandview junior QB Dane Jentsch handed the offensive MVP trophy to senior RB Tremayne Gullatte as they walked off the field. These kids just get it. Chills. Gullatte tied championship game record with 5 rushing TDs.
HISTORY MADE: Grandview is Johnson County's first football state champion since Cleburne was co-champions in 1959. The Zebras are the first *outright* football state champs in Johnson County history.
Tulsa QB Zach Smith (Grandview) & Houston WR Tre'Von Bradley (Cleburne) - a couple former All-Johnson County MVPs - getting in some holiday break reps today.
BREAKING: Grandview ISD promotes from within as Ryan Ebner (defensive coordinator/head baseball coach) is named the Zebras' new AD/head football coach.
With Ebner as DC, Grandview's defense has been lights out the past 4 years, leading the Zebras to the state title in '18.
Please keep Grandview's Jakobee Crownover & his family in your prayers. Jakobee was in a car wreck a couple days ago & has been placed in a medically induced coma.
To help the family with expenses such as gas, food, etc, donations are accepted at GV Elementary.
The Grandview Zebras are headed BACK to AT&T Stadium to defend their 2018 state title!
Grandview beats Columbus, 41-21, in the Class 3A DI state semifinals!
Burleson's Kody Russey enters his senior season with Louisiana Tech as one of the nation's most experienced & productive centers.
"I think that he’s going to be a draft pick next year, for sure.”
Cleburne Coach Casey Walraven, former Grandview HC, on the Zebras' state title:
“I can’t put it into words how proud & happy I am for all those kids, coaches & that community. I’ve watched a lot of those kids grow up. We're [Walraven & Coach Diaby] so proud to see this happen."
OUTSTANDING season, Grandview Zebras. Absolutely phenomenal group of young men went a lot farther than anyone would've expected. State semifinalists.

Shoutout to the Alvarado Indians on a great season & a resilient effort last night. In my 14 years of covering txhsfb, I don't recall personally covering a team that overcame a 27-pt deficit in basically 1 qtr in a playoff game. Tough loss but hold your heads high, Indians. 👏👏
Big morning at Godley HS with 3 baseball signings. From left: Tad Thompson (Odessa JC), Brett Brown (Texas A&M) & Bobby Goodloe (TCU). Congrats, fellas.
BREAKING: Grandview HFC Brad Davis is going out on top. Davis just announced his retirement. He coached the Zebras to the Class 3A DI state championship this season.

Reggie Robinson II's father, Reginald Robinson (an avid Steelers fan): "Never been a Cowboys fan before today, but today I'm the biggest Cowboy fan they'll probably ever have."
Cleburne's Addison Wallace voted the District 9-5A Most Valuable Player.
Four-year starter for the Jackets. Led Cleburne to back-to-back playoff appearances. Headed to New Mexico State University. Brilliant high school career.
Track: Godley's Meritt McKittrick wins STATE!
McKittrick takes 1st in the UIL state girls 400m wheelchair dash. She also wins silver in the 100m wheelchair dash.
McKittrick is a back-to-back state champion after winning the 100m wheelchair dash at state last year!
Congrats to Brad Davis on his retirement & a highly successful 34-year coaching career, including a 26-4 record in 2 years with Grandview. Davis goes out on top as a state champion head coach.
This was supposed to be a down year for Grandview football, according to some pundits. But this group missed that memo. And now they're one win away from a state title.
In Grandview's 58-14 win at West last night, QB Dane Jentsch completed 24/28 passes for 337 yards, 5 TDs & 0 INT with 68 yards rushing & a TD.
Luke Ferguson had 4 rec for 90 yards & 3 TDs.
The Grandview Zebras & Godley Wildcats are scheduled to meet in week 3 of the 2020 football season. Grandview & Godley haven't played each other in football since 2013.
Grandview's Earnest Crownover finished with 5 catches for 75 yards, 1 TD & a 2-pt conversion as USA's U-19 Select Team beat Team Nordic, 48-13, in the International Bowl at AT&T Stadium.
"[Baker Mayfield] was the Heisman Trophy winner & first overall pick, & I went out there & stood toe to toe with him. So I know I have the ability & the potential to do that."
Cleburne's Cason Gregory signed with the University of Texas at Arlington baseball today. Gregory will be a 4-year starter this season & has earned all-state, all-county & all-district honors for the Jackets.
Find you somebody in life that looks at you the way Coach Ebner looks at Dane Jentsch after winning back-to-back state titles 😀
All meme jokes aside, what a special moment between a special coach & a special player celebrating an historic accomplishment.
Godley Wildcat baseball with a classy gesture, honoring Godley Middle School teacher & Wildcat fan Amy Simons, who recently passed away after a 2-year battle with cancer. 🙏
Cleburne's Reggie Robinson II finished his senior season with Tulsa with 38 tackles, & a team-best 4 INTs, 13 PBUs, & 17 PD'd, along with 2 fumble recoveries & a blocked kick. Great collegiate career for Reggie, & more to come.
