Sideline 2 Sideline
Read full descriptionHide full description
From the team behind the Sideline 2 Sideline show: every school in Texas high school football, in your pocket. ALL 1,264 SCHOOLS. ALL 192 DISTRICTS. 6A down to 1A six-man, across all 11 conferences. Verified season schedules with published kickoff times, built from what each school reports and checked against the UIL's 2026-28 alignment. Search your school and the whole season is right there. FOLLOW AS MANY SCHOOLS AS YOU WANT Your kid's school, the one you graduated from, your grandkid's six-man team three hours west. Star as many as you like and they pin to the top of your Friday night, with score, record and district standing on one screen. No limit, and no subscription to raise it. REAL SCORES AND REAL STANDINGS 4,553 final scores already in, and district standings for every one of the 192 districts. Fans at the stadium can post score updates and the crowd confirms them, so a Friday night game can move before anyone official posts it. A ROOM FOR EVERY DISTRICT, AND EVERY CLASS Statewide rooms for 6A through six-man, a room for all 192 districts, and threads that stay open all week instead of closing at the final whistle. Emoji yes, GIFs no, and links only to sites we can verify. Kept clean enough for the whole booster club. BUILT FOR TEXAS District standings with the playoff cutline. Bi-District to AT&T Stadium bracket views. Open weeks marked as byes instead of left blank. SPOT SOMETHING WRONG? TELL US. A wrong kickoff time, a missing score, a result nobody has posted - report it in one tap. Four schools in the state still carry a blank record because their results are not published anywhere we can read, and every one of them is six-man. Send them in and we will get them up. Free. No subscription, no paywall, no limit on the teams you follow. Sideline 2 Sideline is an S2S Sports Network production by L4 Media Co. Not affiliated with the University Interscholastic League.
