Yes, that is a little-known aspect of Dallas sports history. The school did play a mixture of high school and college teams, but they eventually did have separate prep and college teams. The high school team was called Dallas University Academy and played as the Wildcats. One of the Academy's biggest rivals was Terrill School for Boys located in East Dallas at that time. Terrill also played high schools, as well as college freshmen and junior college teams. Terrill had some post-grad players that allowed it to compete (and win) against the college-level teams. Later Terrill had its own junior college division. Terrill, through a series of three mergers, ultimately became St. Mark's School of Texas in 1950. The site of Dallas University's beautiful building is now known as Turtle Creek Village, just south of Highland Park in north Dallas.

This is neat.

The website list colleges that have been lost that were founded back in the 1800s, but closed down in the early 1900s. It shows this school was set up the same as Holy Trinity with high school and college in one campus. This college also had a football team back then as well.
