Miller High School's football team has earned a place in the 2026 Dave Campbell's Texas Football 7on7 State Tournament, a milestone that marks a turnaround from the previous season when the program failed to qualify.
A New Coaching Era
The program has embraced fresh leadership, hiring David McHugh to steer the squad alongside a staff that includes former Buccaneer quarterback Trevor Long, who brings tournament experience from his own playing days at Miller.
At the heart of the offense is sophomore quarterback Jayden Herrera, who has deepened his connection with the receiving corps since his first year on varsity and now leads the team's offensive vision.
Tournament Details
Miller will open its campaign in Division II on June 25‑26 in College Station, sharing the bracket with Coastal Bend rivals Gregory‑Portland in Division I and Three Rivers competing in Division III.
The achievement reflects a broader narrative of resilience, as the team has rallied despite coaching changes and a missed qualification the prior summer, underscoring the community's belief in the program's future.
