AUSTIN (KXAN) — On Sunday, the Texas State 7-on-7 Association announced the pools for its state tournament June 27-29 in College Station, and the field includes a handful of Central Texas programs.
Small schools (Division II and III) will kick off the competition at Veterans Park and Athletic Complex, 3103 Harvey Road in College Station, on June 27 with championship bracket play the following day. Division I teams start June 28 with pool play and finish with bracket play the day after. The pools were announced Sunday on Dave Campbell's Texas Football streaming platform Texan Live.
Teams are guaranteed four games in the tournament, three in their pools and one in bracket play. Pool play begins at 1 p.m. the first day of the tournament with bracket play at 8 a.m. the following day.
Weiss, Westlake, Anderson, Lake Travis, McCallum, Buda Johnson and Rouse all made the tournament from the Austin area. Lake Travis perhaps got the toughest draw of area schools in Pool H alongside 2022 state champ DeSoto. Last year's champion Round Rock did not qualify for the tournament and won't be back to defend their title.
In Division II, LBJ and La Grange are paired in Pool B. LBJ dropped back down to Class 4A-D1 in the last round of UIL realignment. Hitchcock returns to defend its Division II title while Miles is back as defending champion in Division III.
There's no charge to watch the games but fans are encouraged to bring chairs.
