Them West Texas boys came to play. 

Post always does. Lived in Lubbock area 21 or 22 years. Even in a down year Post always played hard.

The Star would be a good choice.

Dang what a game....

Who are the Port Neches Groves Eagles?.....and where is the righteous indignation of the PNG faithful?!

No wonder I couldn't find the game thread on the Football Friday App last night. If it's played it'll probably be somewhere in West Texas, San Angelo maybe im guessing. 

 If I remember correctly, before they started playing the 6 man championship in Arlington, Shotwell in Abilene was the destination for 6-man. Maybe they would play it at Shotwell for old times sake....

Just a beer?......might need something stronger...lol

Final: Shiner 24 Refugio 13

Shiner 24 Refugio 13... 32 seconds left

Shiner 21 Refugio 13 ... 6:46 4th qtr

Shiner 14 Refugio 7 at the half

Shiner vs Refugio 7-7 in 1st. Refugio just went 3 and out....don't see them do that very often

Jim Ned up 38-14 now.

Gunter is up 54-7 over Eastland in the 3rd

Grandview goes down too---Malakoff 24 Grandview 21

Final: Tuscola Jim Ned 19 Brock 16

I think EC should win, but I'm not expecting a blowout.

Bit of trivia: Yoakum head coach and Woodville head coach are brothers. Yoakum coach hasn't won it all yet (that I recall) but has had 2 different teams in the state championship game (Bangs 2002 and 2003, and Yoakum 2017---I think those years are correct)

Thanks!!

Any score update?

Thanks for the updates. I can't get the audio to work on the broadcast.

I think part of the issue stems from the UIL maintaining an equal number of districts in each classification/division. This results in the same number of rounds/playoff games in each. Nice and symmetrical. The problem arises because schools of a certain size are not evenly dispersed across the state. Some areas may have a lot of small schools (easy to create 7 or 8 team districts) and few large schools (hard to create 7 or 8 team districts) or vice versa. Then you have those areas where no matter the size of the school, it's a hell of a long way to play anyone. This is compounded by at least appearing to keep the enrollment differentials as close to the same as possible across classifications/divisions. I'm not a fan of 4, 5, or 6 team districts either, but I can see the challenge there.

The answer may be to have different numbers of districts in different classifications. You may have a four round playoff in some, and 5 or 6 rounds in others. If I remember correctly, Florida is set up that way. Downside: it would blow the hell out of championship weekend....
