When asked about the possibility of Jackson Jeffcoat playing basketball as well as football for Texas, basketball coach Rick Barnes smiled. "I'm excited for all of us. Jackson comes from a wonderful family, very impressive," Banres said. "We've seen him play and the fact is, we're glad he's here."

Texas coach Mack Brown said Wednesday that the Longhorns would have signed Graham quarterback Case McCoy even if he wasn't the younger brother of former standout quarterback Colt McCoy. Brown said Case, who is already enrolled at Texas, reminds him very much of Colt. "He's very, very similar. There can't help to be comparisons while he's here," Brown said. "He's very accurate. He has the ability to run and can throw from the pocket. He's...

CEDAR HILL - Cedar Hill linebacker Aaron Benson and running back Ben Malena became examples last year of why it's becoming more and more important for high school football players to showcase their talent during standout junior seasons.

Francis had to write... |
