Football season is officially over in Fayette County. The Schulenburg football team, the last local team still alive, saw its season come to an end in a 67-21 third round playoff loss to defending state champ Shiner Friday in Hallettsville.

Schulenburg football player Keanu Anthony is a senior who brings size and athleticism to the table. Anthony also carries the clutch gene as he made a huge block on a kick in a 37-12 win against Kenedy High School last Friday to advance to the next round of the playoffs.

Schulenburg vs. Shiner When: 7 p.m.

Fayetteville is officially Title Town. No community in this part of Texas has experienced as much team success in the last few months – from a 1A state baseball title in June, a host of state track meet qualifiers, a boys team cross country state berth just a few weeks ago, and now the icing on the cake of a stellar 2021: Last Thursday’s 1A state volleyball title by the Fayetteville Lady Lions.

It was a championship team led by a record-breaking star. Showing no signs of being a state tournament newcomer (though they were) the Fayetteville Lady Lions made themselves right at home in Garland last week.

There was no question who would be named the MVP of the 1A state title volleyball match. At the conclusion of Thursday’s championship, Fayetteville junior Brooklyn Jaeger was announced as the title match MVP after a performance people will be taking about for years to come.

Fayetteville coach Clint Jaeger is believed to be the first Texas coach to lead a team to a state title in baseball and volleyball – and he did so in the same calender year. Before Jaeger’s Lady Lions won the 1A state volleyball title Thursday in Garland, Jaeger’s Fayetteville baseball team won the 1A title in Round Rock in June, beating Kennard 6-4 in the title game.

There were no winners in last week’s reader football pickit contest (nobody saw that Houston Texans win over the Titans coming). With most of our local teams out of the playoffs, we’re going to take a pause on the contest for now.
