Weather Update

Rain finally starting to move away from the Houston area as Katy gets set to take on Bellevue, Washington, while there has been a steady rain all day at Pennington Field in Bedford, where Euless Trinity will take on Cedar Hill at 7:30 in a matchup of class 5A #1 and 2 (AP). The good news is there is little lightning with this rain, which should allow the games to be played.

Shead Loses Ground

Cayuga's game against Dawson was cancelled in the second quarter last night with the Wildcats leading 20-0. Running back Traylon Shead, who is in pursuit of Kenneth Hall's national career rushing record had over 100 yards in the first quarter, but it was all wiped out by severe thunderstorms, leading to cancellation of the game. Shead has 459 yards and 5 TDs on the season and stays at 8,055 for his career.

Grand Prairie Forfeits to Arlington High

In an unusual move, Grand Prairie conceded to Arlington in a forfeit 2-0 due to the weather. The game would have been replayed today, but Gopher coach Gary Bartel stated half the kids on his team work and he didn't feel that he wanted to play with a large number of players missing.
