Former Lep Playing in State Title Game With Hallettsville

Damani Hartwell was playing for the La Grange JV football team as recently as 2019, but this year he moved to Hallettsville and has become a star on the Hallettsville football team playing in the 3A state title Thursday in Dallas. He returned a punt for a touchdown in the regional finals last week (and a kickoff for a touchdown earlier in the season against Yoakum) and has been a key receiver and defensive back for the Brahmas.
