The Huffman ISD athletic director and head football coach knew Harris County was set to make an announcement, which he thought could be "intriguing". Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo had made the announcement that all public and non-religious private schools inside Harris County could not start face-to-face instruction until September 8, the Tuesday following Labor Day. Those dates are all shifted for Huffman, which is the only school in District 10-4A-DI that falls within the Harris County line. According to the Texas Department of Health Services COVID-19 tracking website, as of Friday evening, Harris County was leading the State of Texas (of the 250 counties that have reported) with 61,416 cases. For football, Huffman was paired with Livingston, Lumberton, Orange Little Cypress-Mauriceville, Splendora and Vidor.
