State Quarterfinals Set in High School Football Playoffs
The third round of the high school playoffs was rough for area teams as Weimar, Columbus and Cuero all were defeated.
But one “local” team remains alive as Bellville smashed previously undefeated Silsbee 61-7 as DD Murray and Sam Hranicky each ran for over 100 yards and scored two touchdowns each. Bellville averaged 9.2 yards a carry.
Meanwhile, Columbus, which had been ranked as the No. 1 team in the state in 3A, lost to Lorena 42-21 Friday as Lorena ran for 343 yards. Columbus had knocked Lorena out of the playoffs last season. The Cardinals end their season with a 12-1 record.
Weimar lost to Refugio 42-14 to finish their season with a 10-3 record.
Cuero lost to Jasper 28-7 to end their season with a 12-1 record.
