only a sophomore.  Looks like he was at Strawn last year?  Not surprised he moved, but would've thought he might have moved to a bigger school.

yeah, found some interesting stuff on the google about it.  Lots of drama over in strawn, and with this move.  Strawn went 15-0 and won a state football championship with him as the qb as a freshman last year, and then 4-6 without him this year, with Benjamin going 15-0 and winning a championship this year after a first round exit last year.

Huge props to Orangefield for keeping things close with this Hitchcock team

Hooks must have had an easy run or a major upset or two to get this far.  hitchcock is good, though.

Region 3 teams that made it to the 3rd round would have won region 2 imo

Their wins over Ponder and Mineola are considered upsets.

Hitchcock is very good.
