SAN MARCOS, TEXAS — For the second straight year, Tomball High School Football has been named a State Finalist for the National Football Foundation National High School Academic Excellence Award, announced recently by the Texas High School Coaches Association.

This coveted award is the first nationwide recognition honoring individual high school football teams for excellence in the classroom with a team 3.0 or above grade point average.

“This is an amazing honor for our program,” said THS Football Head Coach Dave Handal. “Academics are an expectation in our Culture, and our players do a phenomenal job of buying into and meeting those expectations. Our coaches do an unbelievable job of managing and supporting our players to ensure their academic success.
