Here are images from some of Saturday’s regional finals across the state. In a quadruple-header at AT&T Stadium, Denton Ryan defeated Colleyville Heritage, Allen knocked off Duncanville, DeSoto beat Cedar Hill in a thrilling shootout, and Temple upset Manvel in the nightcap.
In Houston, Cinco Ranch shut down Cy Ridge to move on to the state semifinals while in San Antonio, Cibolo Steele dominated Churchill in the Alamodome. The two teams face each other this weekend for the right to go to Arlington and play for a state title.
