The Most Competitive District in Texas HS Football?
2A1, District 4?
Hawley or Cisco? That’s where the Big Game is for Week 11, with Hawley being a slight favorite to win the year-ending matchup of the two, in Hawley.
But don’t forget Stamford. The Bulldogs are set to finish a strong third in the district, having lost to Hawley, 0-32, and to Cisco, 14-47. Also, Olney, currently #4 in the district, should finish at 7-3, with an expected Friday win over Winters (1-8).
In short, District 4 should send four very good teams into the playoffs.
Cisco is, of course, a familiar playoff team, and Hawley has become one. Stamford, with five state championships, has long been a title contender, and the Olney Cubs (6-3) have high hopes.
OR
3AD1 District 5?
Pottsboro (8-1), Mount Vernon (8-1) and Winnsboro (7-2) are in a fierce battle for playoff advantage.
Pottsboro and Mount Vernon meet this Friday in a game that will decide the #1 out of the district. But Winnsboro inflicted upon Pottsboro its only loss, 36-35 on October 21. So, the question will remain: who will be numbers 2 and 3? Mineola has the inside track on the #4 spot.
