Week 9 — Highlights

From The Fans: As you requested, here are the results of the West Columbia at Sweeny game. The Roughnecks won 23-17, and became District Champions. Roughnecks dominated the first half 16-0 and didn’t let Sweeney get one pass off. Second half Sweeney tried to shake off the threat of the Roughnecks, and the Roughnecks’ defense let down their guard. It was a very exciting game. SRO in the stands. People were standing and sitting around the track . Sorry you missed it.

The Nacogdoches Dragons (NR 4A) and Jacksonville Indians (#31 4A) played an amazing 12 Overtimes!! This is thought to be a national record for overtimes in a game. Jacksonville finally won it 84-81!!! The 165 points breaks the all-time record for Combined Points-Regular Season Game which was 143 - El Paso Burges 87, El Paso Austin 56 (2004). District 14-4A now has all of its playoff teams set. Tyler John Tyler (#7 4A), Whitehouse (#21 4A), Jacksonville and Marshall (#47 4A) will all represent.

San Antonio Churchill (#45 5A) scored 10 unanswered 4th quarter point including a FG with 8 seconds left to defeat San Antonio Roosevelt (#37 5A) 17-14. Churchill has won their last 3 games now have earned a playoff spot for the first time since 2006. Roosevelt will play Reagan (#28 5A) next week for the final 26-5A spot. San Antonio MacArthur (#15 5A) and San Antonio Madison (#20 5A) are the other 2 teams in the district to have qualified for the playoffs. 26-5A has always been an LSG favorite and they did not dissapoint again this year!!

Leander RB Jon Henderson rushed for 301 yards and scored 4 TDs in their 36-28 win over Round Rock Westwood.

Lewisville Hebron (#56 5A) had 4 turnovers in their game vs. Allen (#5 5A) but they were still able to pull off the upset 35-28 behind 642 yards of total offense. Allen and Flower Mound (#47 5A) had already qualified for the playoffs coming into the week and will play next week for the district title. Flower Mound Marcus (#48 5A) also qualified as the 3rd team in the playoffs with their win over Lewisville (NR 5A). Hebron will need a win next week over Marcus or a Plano (#49 5A) loss to Plano West (NR 5A) to make the playoffs.

Belton (NR 5A) rallied from 21-6 down to defeat Bryan (NR 5A) 36-27. Belton, A&M Consolidated (#22 5A), Copperas Cove (#30 5A) and Bryan will be the playoff teams from district 12-5A with A&M and Bryan going to Division I. Bryan makes the playoffs despite the loss because both Temple (NR 5A) and Harker Heights (NR 5A) lost.

Abilene Cooper (#10 5A) proved they deserved their high ranking again with a convincing 45-28 victory over Abilene (#11 5A). The Cougars scored 21 unanswered points in the 2nd half to defeat the Eagles for the 1st time in 7 tries. Coopers star JR QB Clayton Nicholas threw for 349 yards and two touchdowns.
