The Texas High School Football Bucket List

DCTF's Texas High School Football Insider Matt Stepp takes a look at some bucket list items you should check out if you love Friday Night Lights, including Saturday Night Lights in D'Hanis, watching a game in Canadian and the Rio Grande Valley, El Paso's Jones Stadium, and a Thanksgiving night playoff game.

The state of Texas is incredibly unique and it’s also incredibly large, making it tough for many to get to more remote parts of the state. Texas high school football [TXHSFB] reflects our uniqueness, and the many traditions and pageantry reflect how special each town in our state is. We decided to make things easy for you and give you this true TXHSFB Bucket List, featuring 10 of our favorites from around the state.

Eat at a Small Town Concession Stand

Every concession stand has the standard hot dogs, nachos and popcorn, but catch a game in a small town and often times the food options get much more diverse. If you want a cheeseburger, there’s a good chance the band boosters are grilling up burgers to raise money for the next band contest. There’s a strong possibility there’s someone grilling up turkey legs and/or hot links on the BBQ pit, and if you are lucky you might get your hands on a brisket sandwhich. If you are in South Texas, you could possibly find yourself munching on some fajita tacos (Sinton’s are famous!) and in some tiny towns in West Texas like Guthrie, the concession stand is the only dining establishment in the county, so you know the food there is good!
