The Aggies have a lot of experience coming back off their 2023 squad with a pair of four year letter winners and 6 three year letter winners.

Today the Aggies stepped on the practice field for the first time since the Maroon and White game to prepare for Mike Elko’s first season at Texas A&M.

Both Somerville and Snook have their bye week next Friday and resume district play on October 4th. Somerville will travel to Iola to take on the Bulldogs, while Snook will host Burton at Bluejay Stadium.

Burton had played 40 straight games on the road but instead of getting on a school bus tonight to travel to a ‘home game’ in Somerville, Snook, or at Brazos Christian’s Eagle Stadium in Bryan, they walked across the site of their old stadium 3 years ago to began a new era of Panther football.

Chris has been a 3-time academic all district selection in football and joins his brother Jonathan as KBTX Classroom Champions. And like his brother will be pursuing an engineering degree at Texas A&M in Fall 2025. Chris' focus will be Architectural Engineering at the College Station campus.

Paul is following in his brother Luke’s footsteps as a Classroom Champion and will also follow him to Texas A&M where Paul plans on majoring in science with a minor in music technology.

After graduation Abby is considering attending Austin College in Sherman and may pursue a degree in business.

The College Station High School senior has a 4.74 grade point average and rankes 6th in his class. David volunteers with Special Olympics and helps out with the Cougars' Summer Basketball Camps.

Abigail joins her older brothers Noah and Elijah as KBTX Classroom Champions and says she is looking forward to living with them again this fall at Texas A&M where she will be a SEL (Society, Ethics, Law) major and eventually hopes to become a family lawyer.
