High school football has been called Texas's favorite pastime. If you
follow the sport, you have heard of the Southlake Carroll Dragons. That
is what happens when a district wins eight state football championships
and three national high school championships. The Dragon tradition began
in 1959 with the formation of the Carroll Independent School District.
With the growth of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, families were attracted
to Southlake and the school district's high academic standards and
competitive football program. Some of the most successful Texas high
school football coaches have blown their whistles in Dragon Stadium--Bob
Ledbetter, Todd Dodge, Hal Wasson, and others have kept the Dragons in
the record books.
