The first week of the post-season has had a few surprises, most notably the early departure of Bangs from the region II
bracket. Hico shut down the attack of TB Toby Conner and pitched a shutout win over the 9-1 Dragons.
Mart stormed into the playoffs after two consecutive so-so games with a 59-0 win over New Waverly, one of the top twenty
teams in the state. They will play Hemphill, which boasts three all-state defensemen, and RB Leon Maxie, Friday in Conroe.
Celina rolled to a 38-0 win over Boyd on the backs of Adam Herrin and back-up RB Josh Sharrock, who ran for 170 yards and
two touchdowns. His first was on the first play from scrimmage, a 74-yard juant down the field. The Bobcats led 14-0 after
three minutes, and the defense held the rest of the way, for their sixth shutout.
Ganado recorded it's sixth consecutive shutout and seventh overall with a 7-0 victory over East Bernard in Region IV. Ganado
was without leading RB/LB Mathew Bures, who injured his ankle, and the Brahmas were without QB Adam Black.
Rogers won a shootout with unbeaten Comfort 48-30, taking advantage of a weaker defense, and an offense that couldn't keep
up. They advance to play Ganado's defense in the second round.
Olney showed why it could challenge for the Division I title as it ran past 9-1 Holliday 28-7. But it won't get easier,
as the cubs must face Friona, Sonora or Idalou, Pilot Point, Comanche or Farmersville and then EF or Arp or Poth in the Finals.
Without Bangs, the winner of the top half of the Region 2 bracket will likely be Whitewright or Hico. One of those two
lucky teams will get to play Celina in the quarterfinals. Celina, however, must first face Goldthwaite and Cooper, two good
teams that can be dangerous, and would love to knock the Bobcats out of the state picture. It probably won't happen, but it
would be big news. It is unclear who the Region I winner will be, but likely it will come down to Stanton, Spearman, Canadian
and Hamlin.
