7-on-7 is back in Texas

What started as a simple summer passing drill has grown into a Texas football tradition. 7-on-7 began as a way for players to sharpen their skills in the offseason—especially quarterbacks, receivers, and defensive backs—without full contact.

In 1998, Texas launched the first State 7-on-7 Tournament, and today more than 1,000 teams compete each summer across the state.

And now it’s the Stephenville High School Yellow Jackets’ turn—kicking off their 2026 7-on-7 season this Friday, May 22, in Mineral Wells. Let’s go, Jackets!
