Carthage defensive lineman Dakota Hart will lead talented players from all over East Texas as they gear up for the 2nd Annual Fellowship of Christian Athletes' 'Heart of a Champion Bowl'.

The all-star football game is scheduled 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, at Lobo Stadium in Longview.

Approximately 110 East Texas football players representing 60 schools will take part in the game. Last year's contest was won the Red All-Stars, 24-0.

Coaches often like to talk about success breeding success. With that winning formula in mind, Eric Robinson takes over as Athletic Director and head football coach at the Beckville Independent School District with enthusiasm and optimism as he looks ahead to his first season in 2012.

The Beckville Independent School District Board of Trustees didn't have to look far to find its new Athletic Director and head football coach. After Mike Segleski, Jr. informed the district on Monday that he was turning down the position, Carthage's Eric Robinson was offered and accepted the dual position Friday afternoon.

The state of Texas has its first Heisman Trophy winner since Ricky Williams and Texas Football is making sure he gets his due. Baylor’s Robert Griffin III graces the fifth-annual edition’s striking cover, as does his familiarly-posed bronze trophy, and with good reason — behind Griffin, Baylor completed one of its finest seasons in school history.
