Weiss Wolves
Weiss HS football team starts practice
If your favorite high school football team wasn't practicing last week, they are now. FOX 7 Austin's Clif Thornton caught up with Weiss High School.
The Weiss Wolves are coming off their best season in school history in 2025 with 10 wins that tied a season high, and they made it to the region semi-finals for the first time ever.
Weiss's 15 returning starters, including quarterback Jaxson Schad and Washington-bound receiver Tre Moore, are a big reason the Wolves are preseason favorites to win a district stacked with perennial powers A&M Consolidated, College Station, and Georgetown.
Round Rock Dragons
2025 playoffs Wk 1: Round Rock vs Lake Travis
In week 1 of the 2025 playoffs, Lake Travis took on Round Rock.
The Round Rock Dragons have a few weeks to get ready for a new district that now includes Texas high school football royalty: Westlake and Lake Travis.
The Dragons' plan to compete for a district title with those two with 11 returning starters from 2025, including their own tandem through the air: quarterback Dov Stickler and receiver Dylan Jaeger.
These two teams met twice earlier this decade, with each beating the other in blowout fashion.
Join FOX 7 Austin's John Hygh and Clif Thornton for all the FOX 7 Friday Football action on Fridays at 9 p.m. on FOX 7 Austin, online and on FOX Local.
