ENNIS — When you say ‘varsity’ in Texas, the word ‘football’ usually follows. But how about barbecue?
At Ennis High School, a group of students loves their brisket and ribs just as much as their pigskin.
Last year, the school created its very first competitive barbecue and traveled to cook-offs involving other schools across the state. Only a handful of schools in North Texas have barbecue teams, but the idea is gaining popularity.
