For Paschal students, having a nationally recognized program right in the neighborhood adds a special energy to the fall, as the Horned Frogs look to keep their strong season rolling.

TCU opened the year with a commanding 48-14 win over North Carolina, showing early on that the team can pressure opponents on both sides of the ball.

They followed with a 42-21 win over Abilene Christian at Amon G. Carter Stadium, giving the Fort Worth crowd plenty to cheer about. The early stretch has been about more than victories- it’s been about building confidence and setting the tone for a program with high expectations.

After a 9-4 finish last year, the Frogs entered this season with goals to achive. Key receivers left for the NFL, and several new players were asked to step into bigger roles.

But the team’s mix of veterans and fresh faces has quickly come together, showcasing an offense that can both throw and run effectively, while the defense has forced turnovers and made key stops.

Now TCU returns home for several highly anticipated games in.

Matchups against rivals like SMU on September 20 with yet another win from the Horned frogs 35-24, leaves fans hopeful for the Colorado game on October 4 , bringing packed crowds and high-stake atmospheres.

For students and families around Paschal, those nights will feel electric, as the neighborhood rallies behind its hometown college team.

For Paschal students, the connection to TCU is more than just geographic.

Walking distance from campus, Amon G. Carter Stadium stands as a reminder that Fort Worth is home to big-time college football.

Many Panthers grow up watching the Frogs play, and for some, it’s even a dream to one day wear purple and white themselves.

As TCU prepares for its home stretch, excitement is building across Fort Worth.

The Horned Frogs have already proven they can compete at a high level, and now, back in front of their own fans and neighbors, the stage is set for them to push even further.
