Two teams from each school come out each week and participate in competition more reminiscent of a game of tag in the backyard than Friday night football.
The local league games get started 5:30p.m.each Monday night through June 25, with games being held on a rotating basis between the four high schools. Monday night's action was held in Lufkin.

The winner of each pool will meet up at 2:30p.m. in the title game. The winner will have a bid to play in the field of 64 teams that will participate for the Texas State 7 n 7 Championship.
