WATCH: 2021 Texas commit scores touchdown in Texas state championhip

2021 WR Texas commit Ja’Tavion Sanders made a spectacular catch in the 5A state championship game. Sanders has been committed since Sept. 8.

It is state championship weekend for high school teams in the state of Texas. With all the games taking place at AT&T Stadium, big-time players have the opportunity to show off their skills in one of the best football stadiums in the world.

That is exactly what 2021 wide receiver Texas commit Ja’Tavion Sanders did, making a spectacular catch in the 5A Division 1 state championship game. Playing for Denton Ryan, the Raiders faced off against the Shadow Creek Sharks. Down 13 late in the fourth quarter, Sanders caught a touchdown in the corner of the end zone to cut the Shark lead to six.

Shadow Creek went on to win the game 28-22, but Sanders still had a huge season for Denton Ryan. Considered a two-way player, he also played on the defensive line this season. Listed at 6 feet 3.5 inches and weighing in at 220 pounds, Sanders has been committed to Texas since Sept. 8.

After a successful 2020 class, all eyes are turned to the 2021 class. Currently ranked third in the country, only trailing Notre Dame and Ohio State.

In addition to the post-Thanksgiving tournament, the NBA is making a case to teams and the union for a play-in for the seventh and eighth conference playoff seeds, and a reseeding of teams in the semifinal round based on regular-season records. “I think that’s interesting and has merit,” Kerr said of reseeding teams in the semifinal round. “If your goal is to get the best two teams in the Finals and it’s pretty clear cut then, yeah, I’d be interested in that.”

“I think it makes sense, and I’ve been …

“I think it makes sense, and I’ve been a proponent of that,” Kerr said of a shorter regular-season schedule. “I know that everyone has to agree to what that means to revenue and players and owners. They all have to agree on that stuff, but yeah, I think 82 is a lot of games and just cutting out a small handful could be really meaningful during the season in terms of rest and practice time.”

Former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer flashes ‘Horns Up’

Former Sooner coach Barry Switzer tweeted out a picture of him giving the Horns up signal. Getting car help, a UT grad was there to assist.

Everybody, even former head football coaches from Oklahoma, eventually figures out the right side of the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry. Former Sooner head coach Barry Switzer tweeted out a picture of him and a University of Texas graduate giving the ‘Horns up’ signal after he helped him on the side of the road.

Switzer’s tire had blown out on the side of I-40 and UT graduate Franciso De Soto was there to assist him. De Soto may not have known who Switzer was or what his old job was, but he was glad to assist with his tire during rush hour.

Here is the tweet:

Switzer is famous for wearing a “Beat Texas” hat on the sideline in the 1984 Red River Shootout. The Sooners were not able to pull out a victory that year, as the two teams tied 15-15. With a career record of 9-5-2 against the Longhorns, Switzer saw success in the annual matchup in Dallas.

While it may not be what Oklahoma fans want to see, Texas fans will forever have something fun at their expense. One of the greatest head coaches to ever work for the Sooners giving a ‘Horn Up’ instead of a ‘Horns Down’ is quite the sight to see.

Among the concerns of top front office officials discussing these ideas with the league office: Many suspect that star players might prefer the five-day scheduling break that would come with not qualifying for the tournament rather than competing for the financial reward of a winner-take-all event that requires a quarterfinal, semifinal and title round to become champion.
