Allen (Texas) High School's football booster club, home of 2018 Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray

As a member of the Touchdown Club (TDC), I volunteered to completely revise its website in late summer 2011 and make sometimes daily updates throughout football season and the school year. I did the following while also working my full-time job:

  • Wrote all content, including game summaries, news items about the players, and events related to the team.

  • Created extensive Links page that included weekly game broadcast info, news stories, links to other Allen groups including band and drill team, plus maps and directions to out-of-town games as well as to all Allen facilities (varsity through middle school) that our opponents’ fans would need directions to.

  • Took many photos for the site myself (look for gray photo credits under captions) and obtained written permission for any photos used that I didn’t take.

  • Created the football program “stack” graphic on the Home page, using Photoshop plus my photos of 9 years’ worth of programs.

  • Made numerous last-minute schedule updates from coaches on everything from game time/location to practices and Thursday night team dinners, covering all 6 high school teams (varsity, 2 junior varsity, and 3… yes, THREE… freshman teams).

In the preseason rankings in late August, Allen was ranked as the number-one 5A team in Texas (largest school division, now 6A) by the Associated Press and sixth in the nation by Rivals.com. Allen won the largest-division Texas State Championship in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2017.
