BRYAN -- Six East Texas players earned first-team spots on the 63rd Annual Collin Street Bakery/Texas Sports Writers Association Class A All-State Football Team, which was released Tuesday afternoon.
JACKSONVILLE -- The Whitehouse Wildcats rallied for a 71-67 overtime win over Jacksonville on Friday night in battle between first-place teams in District 16-4A.
CANTON -- The No. 3 Bullard Lady Panthers dominated on the first day of the Canton Tournament, defeating Athens 61-19 and seventh-ranked Chapel Hill, 66-41.
It should comes as no surprise that No. 3 Tenaha enters this week's District 11-A Division II opening weekend as the league's clear favorite. After all, Tenaha returned 20 starters from last season's state finalist.
No East Texas teams are ranked in TheOldCoach.com's Friday Night Football magazine Class 5A and Class 4A top 10's, but the region's smaller schools compensate.
Douglass' run to the Class A Region III championship game resulted in four of the six superlative honors on the 21-A all-district baseball team as voted by league coaches.
