Press Pass Sports Editor Kale Steed and KAMR/KCIT-TV Sports Director Clint Brakebill go over a very solid Week 4 of high school football across the Texas Panhandle. Brakebill and Steed chat about Palo Duro’s 35-14 victory over crosstown rival Amarillo High. It’s the Dons second year in a row to beat the Sandies and the first time for back-to-back wins against AHS since 2001-2002. The duo also chat about the remaining unbeaten teams left in the Texas Panhandle and Tascosa’s loss to Odessa Permian.
