Liberty Christian community protests TAPPS playoff removal

Liberty Christian parents and local coaches are using social media to challenge a decision by the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) to remove the Warriors football team from the playoffs.

The campaign includes prominent community figures, such as the wife of former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, who are publicly urging the organization to reverse the disqualification.

The TAPPS state executive committee issued the exclusion order, though the association did not disclose specific reasons for the removal in its initial announcement. The push for reinstatement underscores the intensity of local support for the program as the postseason schedule approaches.
