Body
Area football fans likely came away with a sense of déjà vu last week as, for the second consecutive Friday night, county teams went a combined 1-5 overall on the gridiron. Van once again proved to be the exception to the rule, retaining their perfect record with a 37-point rout of Pittsburg. Other schools were not as lucky as Canton, Edgewood, Fruitvale, Grand Saline and Wills Point all suffered setbacks.
