Yes they’ve played at Independence Stadium in Shreveport before in playoffs Ryan Mallett’s sr year.
Very good smart returning SR QB. Big TE
Very good defense when UT commit DE (tall lanky but a sleek lanky) Brown wants to put in effort who they will put in at WR on some downs - was featured on ESPN “you got Mossed” this year for a catch - was the “other guy” for OU freshman Clayton Smith DE last year who is the real deal. Very good RB returning SR my prototype RB -good “PNG STYLE” WR Rogers (I played baseball with his dad and uncle lol) really gritty athletic family even his mom was a sprinter in HS lol. The only real eye test they fail is FAT sort of out of shape interior OL - tackles solid though. The defense is a faster Texas City IMO. They might not be super intimidating visually at every position but they’re right. They can “PA Memorial” certain moments on defense if you get them rattled. Brown is the key if he gets mentally out of it
I’ve seen most of their games but not here recently they’ve been showing Pleasant Grove and Longview more. If any underdog team can beat them it’s the Indians but it will be an uphill battle they really showed that vs TC
Good thing for “us” is a good majority of their games are on YouTube but they definitely have grown since the beginning of the season attitude looks better last few I saw.

2021 Preview - Texarkana Texas Tigers
Coach: Gerry Stanford. Lettermen R/L: 29/27. Starters returning O/D: 5/6. 2020: 11-1 5A DI area finalist/7-0 district. Key losses: Caden Miller (Clarke), Caleb Arnold (Lamar), Clayton Smith (Oklahoma), Hayden Harrell (SFA), Jackson Haller, Rian Cellers
Players to watch: DE/LB Derrick Brown (6-5, 190, 4.6), RB Braylon Stewart (5-9, 185, 4.7), QB Brayson McHenry (6-0, 180, 4.7), DB Jalen Jones (5-11, 165, 4.6), LB Javarous Tyson (5-11, 210, 4.8), OL Qu’Shawn McCulloch (6-4, 290, 5.1). Top juniors: OL John Jack (6-4, 270, 5.3), LB Alex Hines (6-0, 190, 4.8). Top sophomore: WR T.J. Gray (6-2, 170, 4.6).
Other prospects: DE Braxton White, WR Blake Rogers, LB Darrin Finley, TE Nate Mennie, DB Michael Thomas, DL Brandon Childs.
2021 notes: The Tigers are on the lookout for at least one more playmaker on offense to pair with RB Stewart (1,151 yards, 12 TDs rushing) and QB McHenry (2,975 yards, 36 TDs; 128 yards passing; 128 yards, 1 TD rushing). McHenry took over under center in the second game and led the team to a perfect regular season, earning all-district honors in the process. Rogers (27-410, 5 TDs receiving) could be the answer, and help should arrive from an 8-0 JV squad. The defense has a chance to be special with the return of Brown (67 tackles, 20 TFL, 6.5 sacks), who has 20 college offers on the table, along with Jones (27 tackles, 6 PBU), Tyson (51 tackles) and Finley (36 tackles, 2 INTs, 6 PBU).

I’ll say I watched the game with Nac twice. It was one of their worst games seems like they had district wrapped up. I know Whitehouse was their last game I may be wrong about that. They let Nac hang around early.

TE Minnie might be hurt. #7 (White?) LB is their best defensive player IMO
