David and Matt are back just in time to discuss the upcoming high school state championships in AT&T Stadium, and boy can #bEASTtexas put a stamp on the season with *possibly* both state titles in Class 4A (Carthage and Kilgore).

This and more on another episode of Sports, Old School here on The Write Team Podcast!
