Holy Trinity Catholic High School has always prided itself on academics. But starting this year, the private school will have something else to hang its hat on.

For the first time in its seven-year history, Holy Trinity will field a football team for the upcoming season.

The Celtics, who will compete in TAPPS (Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) Six-Man Division I District 4 along with Central Texas Christian, hold their first practice Monday and will play their home games at Gandy Field.
