LSC 2026 Season Preview

August 22nd, 2026 5:00am

2026 Lone Star Conference Season PreviewOh, how close it was…LSC runners-up Texas-Permian Basin had mighty Harding on the ropes, but Kanon Gibson and the Falcons couldn’t get over the top in the Super Region 4 Final, losing 34-28 in what would be Gibson’s, head coach Kris McCullough’s, and star linebacker Tristan Exline’s final game at UTPB.  Unfortunately, moments like this, which in the past could be an indication of future success, now feel like distant memories of an all-too-brief brush with greatness.

LSC Final Postseason Recap
