A Texas quarterback won Sunday's Super Bowl 57 -- but another Texas quarterback lost.

By a score of 38-to-35, the Chiefs, led by Whitehouse High School and Texas Tech alum Patrick Mahomes, downed the Eagles, quarterbacked by Jalen Hurts, a graduate of Channelview High School near Houston.

Meanwhile, Abilene Wylie High School and Texas Tech alum Navy Lieutenant Arielle Ash was part of history at the Super Bowl -- the first all-woman Super Bowl flyover.

Seven women naval aviators in four jets made the pre-game fighter flyover and Ash was one of them. She is a 2008 graduate of Abilene Wylie and she graduated from Tech, class of 2012.

Former Tech chancellor Kent Hance giving some props to Ash following the flyover.

"When they needed the lead pilot to fly over the Super Bowl site they didn’t get a Stanford or Yale graduate. Nope, they got a Texas Tech Red Raider, Arielle Ash ‘12 a Navy pilot. Wylie girl makes good. TTU is proud of Arielle leading the air show while Mahomes leads the field," he tweeted.
