Week 1 of the playoffs was a little rough for our East Texas teams as they went 23-24. But the remaining teams bounced back in a nice way in week 2, going 15-11.
One of those 15 winners was in a state title game, so we have 14 East Texas teams who have made it into the 3rd round of the high school football playoffs. There are teams in 5 of the 6 classes and we have games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week.
Here's the full schedule for our teams, including who they play and when/where those games will be taking place.
