The Elgin Wildcats varsity football team has kept its offseason rolling with a series of 7-on-7 league tournaments, hosting five area programs last week in Elgin.

Elgin High School welcomed teams from Taylor, Cedar Creek, Del Valle, Giddings and Crockett May 26 during early preparations for the 2026 season. Wildcats Head Coach Rich Lucero said the event was important not only for player development, but showcasing the growth of Elgin football and its facilities.
