Everman rallies to defeat Stephenville

After falling behind early in the 4th quarter, Everman rallied to victory over Stephenville, 27-24. The Bulldogs move on to play Sulphur Springs next week.

Katy Tigers are rolling

The Katy Tigers shut out La Porte 42-0 to continue their post season roll. Despite three regular season losses, the Tigers have had no problems in the playoffs as they have outscored the opposition 173-24.

They move on to play Smithson Valley, a 19-14 winner over San Antonio Reagan in the 5A Division II State Semifinals at 2 pm next Saturday at Rice Stadium.

Stephenville bent on revenge

Everman blasted Stephenville 56-3 earlier in the season and it appears the Yellow Jackets have come out stinging mad in this game. They are leading Everman 24-21 with just over nine minutes left in the game.

Focus on Big "D"

Once again Big "D" (OK we know it's actually Irving) hosts a trio of great high school football games today.

Should be a good one tonight at Texas Stadium at 8pm in a Class 4A Division I Region II final between Longview and Hewitt Midway. If the Lobos can control Midway RB John Hubert, who Longview coach John King calls "The best running back we've seen since Cedric Benson (in 2000).", then the Lobos chances for victory increase. Of course that's easier said than done as Hubert has run for 2,558 yards and 37 TDs on the season.

Longview has not lost to a Class 4A team all season, with their losses coming 21-7 to class 5A Allen, who faces Euless Trinity today, and on a forfeit to Evangel Christian for using an inelgible player.

Prior to that game, Euless Trinity and Allen meet at 4pm in a rematch of a game won earlier this year by the Trojans, 24-14. Allen is once again expected to be without starting QB Matt Brown, who is still recovering from a shoulder injury suffered two games ago.

Cedar Hill (12-1), whose only loss was to Euless Trinity (37-14), survived the first round of the playoffs with a 52-49 three overtime victory against underdog Plano West. They play the Wylie Pirates (11-2), who look to be playing their best football of the season after victories over Lewisville Hebron (31-28) and Arlington Bowie (43-20). These two teams go at it beginning at noon.
