Subscribers should expect their magazines to arrive in the mail starting the week of June 19. Magazines will be in retail outlets after July 4th. We plan on also having a few copies out at the Texas State 7on7 Tournament in late June. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballboy23 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Probably Ewers on one side & Manning on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraysonFan Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I’m betting it has something to do with the Big 12 and the new schools and it being UT’s last season in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I think it would be very hard and labor intensive to do better than yall do right now. It's a huge state. Just getting all the info together about all the high school programs yall already do is a lot of work, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people think of old magazines and see that schools write-ups were a lot longer, but there weren't the informational graphics on each page and there's simply a lot more schools covered as well...so the # of pages is larger dedicated to HS coverage but there's so many more schools now too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take a lot of man power all over the state to get that kind of coverage for every high school in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The evolution of the magazine has seems to have expanded into the college and pro sections and the high school section seems to have taken a back seat to the rest of the magazine. It's still a good magazine and everyone waits with baited breath for the annual arrival .... I'm just an old timer reminiscing .... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's such a great product, especially considering you guys feature EVERY SINGLE TEAM in the state to some degree. The rankings, the Divisional Cover Boys and feature stories, the year in review, the district breakdowns. That's a ton of work and I'm glad you guys put in the effort. Such a fun start to the summer, getting the magazine, even up here in Kansas City. Having lived in several other states, I can assure you all, there is NOTHING in any other state, in terms of high school football coverage, that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as DCTF. Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
