Okay so my kid kept talking about Aledo Middle School football like they’re the next big thing. So I thought why not actually check? Here’s how I dug into their stats this year.
Starting the Search
First I Googled “Aledo Middle School football stats.” Got a bunch of high school results instead. Searched “2023 stats” specifically – still messy. Found some random forum where people argued about a championship but no real numbers.
Trying Different Places
Checked MaxPreps since that works for high school stuff. Nada for middle school. My sports app crashed twice when I tried filtering by grade level. Watched a YouTube tutorial on finding youth stats that took 12 minutes just to say “ask the school directly.” Didn’t feel like emailing anyone though.
Finally Found the Goldmine
Eventually stumbled on the Texas Middle School Athletics page. Filtered by district after 4 tries. When I saw Aledo pop up, my laptop battery died mid-click. Had to restart everything. Loaded it back up and boom – actual numbers!
The Good Stuff
Their record jumps out first thing:
- W-L: 8-0 this season. Clean sheet wow.
- Points per game: Crazy like 38. Coach must be proud.
- Shutouts: Four games where opponents scored zilch. Defense working overtime!
- Biggest win: 56-3 against Lake Worth. Ouch for them.
What Stood Out
Honestly their offense has always been solid but this defense? Different level. Saw comments online about coach rotating players constantly to give bench kids time – explains the depth. Found a highlight reel later showing their QB scrambling like crazy making plays when pressured.
Final take? Those stats aren’t hype. Numbers confirm what everyone’s saying – this team’s legit this year.
