Two East Texas teams battled it out for the Class 3A DI State Championship Friday night with Henderson prevailing 28-21 over Tyler Chapel Hill. Tyler and Henderson are only 34 miles apart, and when you add in Carthage, who knocked off previously unbeaten Brownwood, 35-28, and meets Coldspring-Oakhurst next week for the Class 3A DII title, you have to say that East Texas has earned bragging rights in Class 3A football this year.
Carthage is only 29 miles east of Henderson and they will be gunning for a third consecutive title next Friday at Cowboys Stadium. If Carthage does bring home another title, it will be a clean sweep for district 16-3A.
By the way, the Henderson-Chapel Hill game drew 20,560 fans at Cowboys Stadium last night; a great attendance for a Class 3A game, and it could be a precursor to some huge crowds next weekend for the class 4A and 5A championships.
