Published 7:59 AM EST Nov 21, 2019Thanks to “Friday Night Lights” and a lengthy tradition of growing quality players, many people around the country understand Texas high school football. But what you may not know is that it is technically possible in Texas to win a state title after going 0-10 in the regular season.

Now China Spring, a school of 850 students located in the Waco suburbs, is one of 14 below .500 teams advancing to the second round, thanks to 50-12 win against Kennedale last week.“When you get this far, you are never facing a bad team, including ourselves,” Bell said.“Decatur, last year was 4-6 and then won in a row and went to the semifinals in our division,” Bell said.
