Football practice begins across the state of Texas on Monday, and that means intensity. No one that we know is more intense than Kilgore High School coach Clint Fuller (above), who has led the Ragin' Red four rounds deep into the UIL Class 4A, Division I playoffs the last two seasons, and to two outright district championships in three seasons as head coach. ETBlitz.com is proud to cover all of its area high schools, and that would be Kilgore, Henderson, Sabine, Gladewater, White Oak, Tatum, West Rusk, Arp, Troup, Overton, and Leverett's Chapel. And we also cover Kilgore College athletics, as well. (File photo by MITCH LUCAS - ETBLITZ.COM)
