The gatefold cover showcases Celina High School and its championship run. Coach Bill Elliott appears alongside linebacker Luke Biagini and quarterback Bowe Bentley in a restaurant booth setting.
Celina captured the UIL 4A Division I state championship last season, defeating Kilgore for the program’s ninth state title.
Biagini earned Defensive MVP honors in the title game with nine tackles, a half-sack and a pick-six. Bentley was named Offensive MVP after accounting for 333 total yards and five touchdowns.
Celina is in its golden hour.

Dave Campbell’s Texas Football has been the state’s premier preseason publication since 1960. The magazine covers Texas college teams, the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans, plus more than 1,500 high school programs.
The annual cover reveal generates significant speculation across Texas football circles.
The 2025 edition features a redesigned masthead. Editor-in-chief Greg Tepper said the changes aim to “make our founder Dave Campbell front and center.”
The signature of Dave Campbell now appears larger and centered above the Texas Football lettering.
Something you’ll probably notice: a new-look masthead. Part of some aesthetic changes coming to @DCTF. The priority: make our founder Dave Campbell front and center.
