There are more than 7,000 Texas high school football games scheduled during the 2024 season, but none stranger than the one happening in Bay City on Friday night.
Tonight at Memorial Stadium in Bay City, the Carthage Bulldogs will face off against the San Benito Greyhounds. It's the first-ever meeting between the two programs, and for anyone who knows about these two programs, that's not a surprise.
You see, Carthage is nestled deep in east Texas, the heart of Panola County...while San Benito is down in the Rio Grande Valley, along the border with Mexico. The two towns are separated by a staggering 461 miles.
To put that in perspective: if you started in Chicago and went 461 miles directly south, you would be at the northern border of Alabama.
