FOOTBALL

Not much is better than 16-0 while doing it in spectacular fashion. The Longhorns dominated on the way to a Class 5A state championship with an offense full of home-run hitters and a relentless defense. Running back Darius Anderson, who signed with TCU, rushed for nearly 1,300 yards in six playoff games. A lot of the players who made an impact return this season as the Longhorns begin a foray into Class 6A.
