JUST IN: This Texas high school football team is canceling its season

The 2024 Texas high school football season is over before it started for Darrouzett High School.

The 2024 Texas high school football season won't start for another 10 days, but for one team, the season won't start at all.

Darrouzett will not field a football team in 2024, Dave Campbell's Texas Football has confirmed. The news comes as the Longhorns struggled with numbers within the program, and the result is understandable: Darrouzett, Texas — located in Lipscomb County up at the very northern part of the Panhandle — has a population of about 300 people and Darrouzett High School turned in an enrollment of 25 — tied for the second-smallest football school in the UIL.

Darrouzett's departure leaves District 1-1A Division II with just four teams — Follett, Miami, Groom and Lefors.

Darrouzett went 1-9 in 2023.
