In the seven-plus years I’ve been at the A-J, I can’t recall having a Texas Tech football game on the same night as a full schedule of high school football.
We had staff members in Dallas with Tech, in the Permian Basin with Frenship High, at the renovated PlainsCapital Park for Lubbock High and others helping out in New Deal and Idalou.
At every newsroom I’ve worked in, sports staff find it amusing how the news folks make a big deal about election night pressure.
