Region I
Littlefield – 0
Wall – IIII
Advantage: Wall, four votes to none
Reasoning: Wall has struggled at points during this season, but has absolutely come alive during the playoffs.
Brock – IIII
Muleshoe – 0
Advantage: Brock, four votes to none
Reasoning: Brock has been ridiculously dominant all year long. There’s no data point that doesn’t point to them winning this game.
Region II
Pottsboro – I
Farmersville – III
Advantage: Farmersville, three votes to one
Reasoning: It’s hard not to see Farmersville riding high in this one after their shocking upset of Sunnyvale last week.
Mineola – II
Howe – II
Advantage: Push
Reasoning: We feel like Howe has the defensive prowess to make this an extremely close game. They’ve been outstanding outside of a season-opening loss to Gunter.
Region III
Malakoff – III
Rockdale – I
Advantage: Malakoff, three votes to one
Reasoning: This is a really close one. It doesn’t go to a push because of how well Malakoff has been playing, but there is some definite potential for a close game here.
Cameron Yoe – IIII
Teague – 0
Advantage: Cameron Yoe, four votes to none
Reasoning: Cameron Yoe is just a tough out in the playoffs. They have the pedigree and experience, which should help them get past Teague.
Region IIII
Rice Consolidated –0
Hallettsville – IIII
Advantage: Hallettsville, four votes to none
Reasoning: The Brahmas have been excellent this season, and we don’t see the Raiders from Rice Consolidated slowing them down.
Goliad – III
Yoakum – I
Advantage: Goliad, three votes to one
Reasoning: An excellent win over George West in the regular season and a competitive pre-district schedule give us reason to believe that Goliad is more battle-tested than Yoakum is.
