Some coaches who were not in an uproar about spring sports season being canceled are acting different now that it’s hitting a little close to home....

It's a shell of its normal self. It's a football push who found a way to play some 7 on 7, so all's good

Imagine Fall sports get shut down again because of covid; they have their next season in a year and a half, Spring of 22? Spring athletes have already lost a season. Don't subject them to another.

The TTFCA mourns the loss of longtime USATF official Marvin Rice to Covid-19. A true friend to the sport of Track and Field, especially in the DFW Metroplex.
