Texas coaching icon Freddie James, has died at 89.
His 1988 Carter team, despite being stripped of its title, is considered by many to be the greatest Texas high school football team of all-time.

Gotta say, this being my first time seeing McKinney North's offense, this is very, very fun to watch.
No hiding what they want to do and all three RBs and QB Campbell Seyb give them so many options when running the ball.
I'm told Dallas ISD will hold a moment of silence before each of its football games tonight and tomorrow in honor of Freddie James. #txhsfb

Ran Carthon saying this
Spoke to former #Titans GM Ran Carthon about the blockbuster trade of Jeffery Simmons to the Bears:
"Right now if you're in the Titans building over off Rosa Parks Blvd, the building's probably quiet. It's probably completely in shock. Now, if you're Robert Saleh, you have to find a way to galvanize the troops because this is sending shockwaves through the locker room."
Ishmael Johnson retweeted
I remember watching Carter High with Charles S. Dutton and Vivica A. Fox. Much more humanized version of the team than the one presented in 2004's Friday Night Lights. RIP

State senator Royce West provided a statement to The Dallas Morning News:
"The branches of his professional tree are plentiful. Many upstart coaches got their start from Coach. I can still see him with his trademark lollipop in his mouth during games."
