Games This Week

WEST ORANGE-STARK over HAMSHIRE-FANNETT—Two of the better teams in District 11-4A-II are opening up league play where the games really count. The Longhorns come to Dan Hooks Stadium with a nifty 3-1 pre-district record and should give the Mustangs all they can handle as the defend their district championships.

LITTLE CYPRESS-MAURICEVILLE over HOUSTON KINKAID—The Battlin’ Bears need this game and next week’s meeting with Jasper to get ready for District 10-4A-I competition next month. They’re sitting at 2-1 for the young season.

SILSBEE over ORANGEFIELD—The Bobcats have the misfortune of playing one of the district’s favorites to make the state playoffs. The Tigers are fresh from upsetting former state champion Pleasant Grove last week.
