2015 Week 13 Games

DeSOTO -- Longview football coach John King summed everything up rather succinctly after his team's area-round playoff win Friday night. "Good football teams practice on Turkey Day," he said. The Lobos made sure their Thanksgiving plans will include football with a hard-fought 21-20 win over eighth-ranked Mansfield Summit at Eagle Stadium.

Malakoff had the three-time defending state champs on the ropes, but Cameron Yoe pulled off a 'Rocky'-esque comeback to take a dramatic win Friday night.

Nick Ballard scored two touchdowns and West Rusk won the battle of 10-1 teams against Howe, 31-14, on Friday night.

Arp scored 26 unanswered points, including 18 in the fourth quarter, to take care of business against Lone Oak, 32-6, on Friday night in a Class 3A Division II area playoff game.

Athens' season came to an end Friday at the hands of No. 4-ranked Kennedale with a 47-26 loss at Ennis Lion Memorial Stadium.

Tyran Betts and Lamon Hillis combined to score seven touchdowns to lead Paul Pewitt to a 55-28 rout of Leonard on Friday in a Class 3A Division II area playoff.

GREENVILLE -- Whitesboro had an upset on the mind, but Mineola erased any hopes in the end.

TYLER -- To beat a high-powered Alto team the Beckville Bearcats needed a near-perfect performance on Friday night. And they got just that.

Make that 28 in a row for No. 2 Gilmer.

Jose Castillo ran for a touchdown and caught a score in Sunnyvale's 38-13 win over Daingerfield on Friday night in a Class 3A Division I area round playoff.
