If you've ever stood behind the end zone refreshing three different websites trying to find out how your rival is doing across the county, the Sideline 2 Sideline app was built for you. We're L4 Media Co., based right here in Parker County, Texas, and we built S2S because Texas high school football deserves one free place where parents, students, alumni, and fans can follow every game, every district, and every Friday night.
One quick note before we dive in: if you searched for "Sideline app" and found a second-phone-number app, that's a different company. Sideline 2 Sideline (S2S) is all Texas high school football.
What the Sideline 2 Sideline app covers
Here's what's inside, straight from our App Store listing and support pages:
Every school: All 1,264 Texas high school football schools across 192 districts, from 6A down to 1A six-man, across 11 conferences.
Verified schedules: Kickoff times and venues are checked against published school schedules and the UIL 2026-28 alignment.
Live crowd scores: Fans in the stands post updates, other fans tap Confirm, and verified coaches, radio crews, and S2S staff can post official scores. About 4,553 final scores are already in.
Game chat and The Huddle: Chat rooms for every district and classification.
Standings and brackets: District standings with the playoff cutline, plus bracket views from Bi-District all the way to AT&T Stadium, with byes marked.
Free, period: No subscription, no paywall, no limit on how many teams you follow, and no ads.
How to get started: 7 steps for Friday night
1. Download the app
Download it free on iPhone from the App Store. On Android? Email info@l4mediacompany.com and we'll send you a link.
2. Open it and browse — no account required
You can browse without creating an account. If you do sign in, the app uses an anonymous Firebase ID, so you don't need to hand over your name, email, or phone number to use it.
3. Search and star your schools
Search for your school, your kid's school, your alma mater, and that rival down the road, then star/follow them. There's no limit on the number of teams you can follow.
4. Check Scores for the current week
Head to Scores for this week's slate. Your starred schools are pinned so you're not scrolling past hundreds of games to find the one you care about.
5. Open a game for the details — and fix what's wrong
Tap any game to see the schedule info, kickoff time, and venue. If you spot a wrong kickoff time or stadium, report it. If a game is missing entirely, submit it. Fan reports help keep the schedule accurate for everyone.
6. Post or confirm the score from the stands
This is where S2S comes alive. When you're at the game, post a score update. When another fan posts one, tap Confirm if it matches what you're seeing. Verified coaches, radio crews, and S2S staff can post official scores, so you get a picture you can trust.
7. Join The Huddle — and keep it family-safe
Jump into game chat or The Huddle, with rooms for every district and classification. Emoji are welcome; GIFs aren't supported, and links are limited to verified sites. Cheer loud, talk ball, and remember there are students and families reading.

High school football is about kids, and we take that seriously. In the Sideline 2 Sideline app:
Chat automatically filters profanity, slurs, sexual content, and politics.
Negative callouts of student athletes aren't allowed.
You can report or block any user, and reports are reviewed within 24 hours.
Three violations means a ban.
The app is for ages 13 and up and isn't directed at children under 13.
On privacy: we collect minimal data, we don't run ads, and we don't sell your data. Full details are in our privacy policy at app.l4mediacompany.com/privacy.html.
Coaches and athletic directors: claim your team
If you're a coach or AD, you can claim your team for free to manage your roster, staff, and logo. Tap Claim this team in the app or email info@l4mediacompany.com. Verified coaches can also post official scores.
Level up: fan tiers
The more you help — posting scores, confirming updates, reporting fixes — the more XP you earn. Fan tiers run from Practice Squad → Freshman Team → JV → Varsity → All-District → All-State → D1 Recruit → Texas Legend. Who in your section will be the first Texas Legend?
How S2S compares
Fans often ask how the Sideline 2 Sideline app stacks up against other options. Here's a fair, feature-based look. Where we can't verify a competitor's feature, we say so rather than guess.
| Feature | Sideline 2 Sideline app | Dave Campbell's Texas Football app | MaxPreps | |---|---|---|---| | Focus | Texas HS football only | Texas football | National schedules and stats | | Scores | Live crowd scores + Confirm; official scores from verified coaches, radio crews, S2S staff | Scores | Schedules and stats | | Fan chat | Game chat + The Huddle, rooms for every district and classification | Chat | Check their app | | Texas coverage | All 1,264 schools, 192 districts, 6A to 1A six-man | Check their app | Part of national coverage | | District standings with playoff cutline | Yes | Check their app | Check their site | | Playoff brackets (Bi-District to AT&T Stadium) | Yes, byes marked | Check their app | Check their site | | Report schedule errors / missing games | Yes | Check their app | Check their site | | Cost | Free — no subscription, no paywall, no ads | Check their app | Check their site |
Every app has its place. MaxPreps is a go-to for national schedules and stats, and Dave Campbell's is a longtime Texas football name. S2S is built for the Texas fan who wants every school, live scores from the stands, and a family-safe place to talk ball — free.
