Texas high school power gets blasted after pregame handshake snub
Commenters on social media didn't take it easy on them, either.
In a high school football matchup, DeSoto High School from Texas faced off against St. Thomas Aquinas, a highly decorated rival. The DeSoto team, known for its four-time UIL state championships, was criticized for refusing to shake hands with the opposing team's captains before the game. This pregame gesture was seen as a display of poor character, with many critics pointing fingers at the school's leadership and administration.
Despite the pregame snub, DeSoto still managed to field a team that was ranked 22nd nationally. However, St. Thomas Aquinas proved to be a dominant force, scoring two defensive touchdowns and securing a resounding 38-14 victory. This heavy defeat left DeSoto's fans and the school itself facing a barrage of ridicule on social media.
