2015 East Texas Football Playoffs

TYLER -- Center called its first timeout of the second half to establish momentum. The second to become a realistic threat. Its third in an attempt sustain a tying drive against East Texas' most dominant program since the start of the 2014 season. Gilmer gave up touchdowns immediately following the Roughriders' first two timeouts in fourth-and-goal situations, but the defense held firm on fourth-a

But it is going to feel a little empty within the Pirates' football facility following an upcom
