SAN ANTONIO – The city’s oldest football tradition is coming to an end. San Antonio ISD officials confirmed to News 4 WOAI sports director Don Harris on Tuesday afternoon that Saturday will be the 67th and final “Chili Bowl.”
SAISD has recommended to the school board that Fox Tech become a health careers and law magnet school.
The football program will disband at the end of this season, ending the 67-year rivalry with Lanier and a great San Antonio ritual.
News 4 WOAI Sports has also learned that the new health careers and law magnet school will begin with freshmen next year, while the sophomores, juniors, and seniors will remain a normal high school.
It will then add sophomores the following year, and so on. It will be health careers and a magnet school in four years.
The final football season will be 2009. All other sports will continue for at least two years, and the SAISD board is expected to approve this on Nov. 16.
