Three East Texas football teams are making history this week as they head to Arlington for the state championships. Joaquin and Hamilton are both first-timers, promising a high-scoring 2A D1 showdown. Kilgore faces undefeated Stephenville in 4A D1, pitting two powerhouse defenses against each other. Meanwhile, Carthage, a true dynasty with 10 state titles, looks to add another trophy in 4A D2 against West Orange-Stark. These matchups aren’t just about football—they’re about community pride and unforgettable moments. Which team are you rooting for, and what do you think it takes to win at this level? #Sports #Football #EastTexas
