Arlington Lamar leads this series 18-9-2 all-time. Next up Pearland Dawson (6-1)(3-1) is at Friendswood (5-2) (3-1) in a big 24-4A game. They have both lost to Texas City so this is for 2nd place. They will also probably be that districts DI playoff reps. This series is tied 3-3 All-Time with Dawson getting the win in their Quarterfinal game in 2009.
