It's finally official ....... at 12:53 AM on Saturday morning. The class 4A Jacksonville Indians and Nacogdoches Dragons sent fans on a search for the record books Saturday morning after playing twelve overtimes before Jacksonville finally prevailed, 84-81.
It is believed that the twelve overtimes set a national record, and sends Jacksonville to the playoffs, while the Dragons quest for a playoff spot is over, as they needed to win by at least seven points to qualify.

Katy could go DI, create "monster division"
The Katy Tigers perennially go 5A Division DII come playoff time, but this year could be different. There is at least an average to good chance they could end up in DI this season.
If that happens, DI could end up with nine of our current top ten teams to create a "monster division". Can you imagine Euless Trinity, Katy, RR Stony Point, Allen, Coppell, Katy Cinco Ranch, The Woodlands, DeSoto and GP North Shore all in the same division? There is a strong chance it could happen, which will make for some interesting early round matchups.
Here's our early Class 5A Playoff Projections.

The Best Winless Team in Texas
Who's the best winless team in Texas? Our hands down vote goes to Tyler Lee. The Class 5A Red Raiders, who are 0-6, have played a brutal schedule, and it doesn't get any easier this week when they take on 5A top ten DeSoto.
Tyler Lee's previous opponents have a 34-5 record, and all but one are currently ranked in the top ten of their classification, or have been at some point this season.
The Red Raiders are not that bad, and they have played their last three opponents close, losing 13-7 to The Woodlands, 25-20 to Beaumont West Brook and 28-14 to Mesquite Horn.
Amazingly enough, if Tyler Lee can figure out a way to win two of their last four games, they might be able to sneak in to the playoffs. If they do, they will carry the banner as the state's most battle tested team.

A&M Consolidated coach to join select company
Only 64 coaches in the history of Texas high school football have 200 victories or more. A&M Consolidated head coach Jim Slaughter is on the verge of becoming the 65th, as he owns 199 career victories heading in to tomorrow's game with Bryan.

Games we wish we had seen - week five
This week's games "we wish we had seen" are ......
#5 Class 3A Caldwell 21, Brookshire Royal 15
Caldwell stops Brookshire Royal in a battle of Class 3A unbeatens, as Caldwell's Kedrin Shepard rushed for 139 yards and two TDs.
#4 Class 4A Nederland 39, Port Neches-Groves 32
Nederland pulls off the upset in this traditional rivaly. The Indians scored late and recovered the ensuing on sides kick, but an errant snap from center sealed their fate and sent the Nederland faithful flowing on to the field.
#3 Class 2A - Bushland 27, Muleshoe 20
The Mules had seven false starts and six turnovers on offense, and Bushland makes the plays when they need to, as Muleshoe's 30 game regular season win streak comes to an end.
#2 Class 4A - Cedar Park 36, Cedar Park Vista Ridge 35
Cedar Park scores with 29 seconds left in the game and decides to go for the win. If it works, it's a "gutsy" call. If it fails, it's a "dumb" move. Chalk one up for gutsy, as the Timberwolves convert to win a matchup of unbeaten teams.
#1 Class 1A - Stamford 32, Archer City 26 2OT
In another clash of unbeaten teams, this time between two of the state's top 1A teams, Stamford jumped out to a 20 point lead, but Archer City came roaring back before a missed PAT by the Wildcats allowed Stamford to walk off with a double overtime victory. The game was not without a price for Stamford however, as all-state wideout Jesse Ramos was lost with a shoulder injury.
