Printable Bracket (via THSCA,com)
CLASS 4A DIVISION I
Region I
Fabens (2-8) vs. Levelland (5-4-1) Friday 6:00pm Panther Stadium, Fort Stockton
Snyder (5-5) vs. Mineral Wells (8-2) Friday 7:30pm Shotwell Stadium, Abilene
Lubbock Estacado (2-7) vs. Andrews (9-1) Friday 7:00pm Tiger Stadium, Snyder
You’d better be in for a long night when you’re playing Andrews. You can focus on stopping the pass, as Andrews averages nearly 400 yards passing a game less than 70 rushing, but it hasn’t stopped the Mustangs when they have five different receivers with 100+ yard games this year and have an average of nine different receivers gaining receptions a game.- Daniel Ormsby
Graham (5-5) vs. Brownwood (8-2) Friday 7:30pm Tiger Stadium, Glen Rose
Burkburnett (4-6) vs. Abilene Wylie (8-2) Thursday 7:30pm Newton Field, Graham
Borger (4-6) vs. Clint (6-4) Saturday 7:30pm Grande Communications Stadium, Midland
Stephenville (3-6) vs. Decatur (9-1) Friday 7:30pm Bearcat Stadium, Aledo
After making it to the state quarterfinals and beyond the last five years behind quarterbacks Tyler Jones (Texas State) and Jarrett Stidham (Baylor), the Yellow Jackets’ streak may be over as they draw a tough Decatur team. Aside from going 9-1 on the season, Decatur went unscathed through district play. Look for the Eagles to avenge last season’s loss on Friday night. – M. De Leon
Clint Mountain View (4-6) vs. Pampa (7-3) Friday 7:00pm Mustang Stadium, Denver City
Region II
Dallas Carter (3-7) vs. Kennedale (10-0) Friday 7:30pm Longhorn Stadium, Cedar Hill

Brownsboro (5-5) vs. Jasper (6-4) Saturday 1:00pm Martin Stadium, Lufkin
Houston Sterling (5-5) vs. Stafford (10-0) Friday 7:30pm Spartan Stadium, Stafford
Sterling should have their hands full with Curtis Robinson at the helm for the Stafford Spartans offense. This one should get ugly fast. – John Diaz
Bridge City (7-3) vs. Carthage (7-3) Saturday 7:30pm Martin Stadium, Lufkin
Region IV
Canyon Lake (4-6) vs. Waco LaVega (10-0) Friday 7:30pm Georgetown ISD Athletic Complex, Georgetown
LaVega beats teams with speed on offense and defense. Parrish Cobb and Brandon Benson must be contained for an opponent to win. – John Hillman
Rockport-Fulton (6-3) vs. Kingsville (6-4) Friday 7:30pm Pirate Stadium, Sinton
Burnet (6-4) vs. Liberty Hill (8-2) Friday 7:30pm Gupton Stadium, Cedar Park
Rio Grande City Grulla (4-5) vs. Gonzales (4-6) Friday 7:00pm Hornet Stadium, Corpus Christi
Grulla’s spread offense has sputtered a bit to end the season, but their new 4-2 defense is going to have their hands full with Gonzales running back Alyas Ramirez. – John Diaz
Zapata (6-4) vs. LaVernia (6-4) Friday 7:30pm Memorial Stadium, Alice
La Vernia is getting hot at the right time. They ran through district undefeated and hung six touchdowns on Robstown in the first half of last weekend’s game. On the other hand, Zapata has lost three straight, including a shutout to the King High Brahmas. – John Diaz
Gatesville (4-6) vs. Taylor (4-6) Friday 7:30pm Tiger Stadium, Belton
Beeville Jones (4-6) vs. LaFeria (7-2) Friday 7:30pm Shirley Field, Laredo
Boerne (7-2) vs. China Spring (9-1) Friday 7:30pm Connally Stadium, Austin
The Cougars have proved they can beat the best. With its long playoff history, China Spring is a team to watch. – John Hillman
CLASS 4A DIVISION II
Region I
Pecos (5-5) vs. Iowa Park (6-4) Thursday 7:00pm Tiger Stadium, Snyder
Krum (4-6) vs. Godley (4-6) Saturday 7:00pm Ranger Stadium, Fort Worth
Dalhart (5-4) vs. Sweetwater (10-0) Thursday 7:00pm Lowrey Field, Lubbock
Ferris (3-7) vs. Aubrey (6-4) Friday 7:30pm Birdville FAAC, North Richland Hills
Venus (3-7) vs. Celina (10-0) Friday 7:30pm Memorial Stadium, Frisco
Bushland (4-6) vs. Monahans (6-4) Thursday 7:00pm Lobo Stadium, Levelland
Monahans is a run first, pass later team. Unless it’s third and long or they are trailing by double digits, then Monahans will try to run any way possible. The key is to stop Mario Nunez and Maurillo Marquez, who typically combine to rush for more than 200 yards a game. Nunez is a dual-threat quarterback who typically passes for around 175 yards a game, but he utilizes seven different receivers in the process.- Daniel Ormsby
Anna (2-8) vs. Dallas Madison (8-2) Friday 7:30pm Wylie ISD Stadium, Wylie
Perryton (5-5) vs. Midland Greenwood (6-4) Friday 7:00pm Douglas Stadium, Muleshoe
Region II
Texarkana Pleasant Grove (6-4) vs. Gilmer (10-0) Friday 7:30pm Parker Field, Mount Pleasant
Mexia (6-4) vs. Shepherd (8-2) Thursday 7:00pm Greene Stadium, Bryan
Mexia struggled throughout the regular season, but the Blackcats blazing speed always creates havoc. – John Hillman
Emory Rains (6-4) vs. Center (8-2) Friday 7:30pm Pirate Stadium, Longview
Diboll (6-4) vs. Fairfield (7-3) Friday 7:30pm Panther Stadium, Bullard
Fairfield running back Charles Oliver heads to Texas A&M when the Eagles playoff run ends. Few teams have the defensive front to stop him. – John Hilman
Cleveland Tarkington (4-6) vs. Lorena (7-3) Thursday 7:00pm Cougar Stadium, College Stadium
The Leopards appear to be a team of destiny. After squeaking past most district opponents, Lorena blew out Fairfield to capture the crown. – John Hillman
Canton (5-5) vs. Gladewater (5-5) Thursday 7:00pm Bobcat Stadium, Hallsville
Groesbeck (5-5) vs. Coldspring (6-4) Thursday 7:30pm Mustang Stadium, Madisonville
Atlanta (6-4) vs. Bullard (7-3) Saturday 2:00pm Bobcat Stadium, Hallsville
Region III
Houston Scarborough (1-9) vs. West Orange-Stark (9-1) Thursday 7:00pm Stallworth Stadium, Baytown
West Orange-Stark puts up points in bunches. Quarterback Jack Dallas and his offense put up 48 points or more on five occasions this year. Meanwhile, Steven Tims leads the “Chain Gang” defense that only lost one game all year – to 5A Richmond Foster. – John Diaz
LaGrange (7-3) vs. Wharton (7-3) Friday 7:30pm Memorial Stadium, Victoria
Liberty (4-6) vs. LaMarque (8-2) Thursday 7:00pm Maddry Stadium, Channelview
Columbus (5-5) vs. Caldwell (6-4) Friday 7:30pm Buffalo Stadium, Giddings
Sweeny (2-8) vs. Giddings (10-0) Friday 7:30pm Ricebird Stadium, El Campo
Orangefield (5-5) vs. Houston Worthing (7-3) Thursday 7:30pm Eagle Stadium, Mont Belvieu
Salado (1-9) vs. Bellville (8-2) Friday 7:30pm Tigerland Stadium, College Station
Houston Kashmere (3-7) vs. Hamshire-Fannett (7-3) Friday 7:30pm Maddry Stadium, Channelview
Region IV
Poteet (4-6) vs. Geronimo Navarro (9-0) Thursday 7:30pm South San Stadium, San Antonio
Not only has Navarro beat everyone they’ve played this year, but they’ve beaten them handily. I expect that trend to continue against an overmatched Poteet team. – M. De Leon
Yoakum (5-5) vs. Rio Hondo (7-2) Thursday 7:00pm Buccaneer Stadium, Corpus Christi
Lytle (3-7-1) vs. Devine (9-1) Friday 7:30pm Warhorse Stadium, Devine
Port Isabel (6-3) vs. Cuero (5-5) Friday 7:30pm Cabaniss Stadium, Corpus Christi
Raymondville (4-5) vs. Sinton (9-0) Friday 7:30pm Javelina Stadium, Kingsville
Although the Raymondville offense is starting to play like it did to start the year, the 7th ranked Pirates are going to be too much for them to overcome. Just like their matchup in October, I don’t see this one being close. Pirates advance. -Jeff Cerda
Llano (3-7) vs. Crystal City (8-2) Friday 7:30pm Bulldog Stadium, Bandera
Ingleside (2-8) vs. Orange Grove (9-0) Saturday 7:30pm Wildcat Stadium, Corpus Christi
Pearsall (8-2) vs. Wimberley (3-7) Friday 7:30pm Edgewood Veterans Stadium, San Antonio
