The Texas 7on7 State Championship Recap
This time last year no one had an idea if there would be a 2020 or 2021 Texas 7on7 State Championship tournament. With the 2020 state tournament being cancelled due to Covid-19 for the first time since its start in 1998, players and coaches were eager to compete on the big stage in College Station. 128 high school-based teams from across the state of Texas competed in the 3-day tournament at the beautiful Veterans Park. Divisions II and III competed in pool play on Thursday and bracket play of Friday, with Division I competing in pool play on Friday and bracket play on Saturday.
Hebron took home the Division I title behind a explosive offense lead by Quarterback Jacob Buniff and wide receivers Takoda Bridges, Cobye Baldwin, and Elijah Hellwig. It was the defense who solidified their championship victory over Lake Travis.
Kaufman won the Division II championship over district rival Argyle. Quarterback Derek Clamon and Wide Receiver Daylon Dickerson put on spectacular performances to secure the title for Kaufman.
East Bernard lead by Quarterback Dallas Novicke took home the Division II title with a victory over Childress in the championship game. Not bad for a team who averaged less than 10 passes a game last fall.
