The Sportsmanship Luncheon is at noon, Wed., Jan. 29, at the Bayou City Event Center, 9401 Knight Road at Holmes near NRG Stadium. Come and see what is right with high school football.
There are 15 schools as finalists for Class 6A, 15 schools as finalists for Class 5A, and 10 schools as finalists for Class 4A-Private schools. Class 6A and Class 5A have first, second and third places; Class 4A-Private Schools will have first- and second-place winners.
The schools are listed in alphabetical order near the bottom of this front page.
Schools are judged by TASO (Texas Association of Sports Officials-Houston football chapter) referees who call each football game. Judging is based on 1) actions of the team, 2) actions of the coaches and support groups, 3) number of personal fouls, 4) number of unsportsman-like conduct fouls; and 5) respect for the American flag.
Tickets are $50 each. Tables are 10 seats each. Premium tables are $750 (bronze sponsorship), $1,000 (silver sponsorship), $1,500 (gold sponsorship) and $2,500 (platinum sponsorship). Premium table sponsors will get their names in the event's souvenir program.
