Flatonia welcomed defending state champ Shiner to town Friday and the Comanches showed why they are the favorite to win another state title this season.

Through the air the Bulldogs were a little more effective, passing for 74 yards.

Shiner, meanwhile, led by D-I prospects Douglas and Dalton Brooks, ran for 396 yards and 433 total yards in this one.
