Week 2: Who Are These Guys??

It's early in this 2024 Football Season, so it's hard to pin down who these teams are. We've always said that you can't usually figure these things out until week 4.

FLour Bluff left our Heads scratching, GP was off to another slow start and London - OG was a barn burner. Week 4 is the big CCISD bye week before district begins, but there are some intresting match-ups...
