When the UIL Realignment was announced, one of the biggest storylines was that one of the Austin districts would be in Region III.
Who knew that would result in the lead story of the first round of the playoffs?
...
Hutto is the story of the round. The Hippos (now 9-2) hammered a 9-1 Cy Ranch team 59-14 and now get undefeated Katy (11-0) in the area round. That’s the Austin area’s best shot at a signature 6A DI win in years.
...
District 25-6A’s three-way co-champs all moved on. Lake Travis 45-14 over Johnson, Westlake 45-0 over Hays, and Round Rock in a 45-37 shootout with Bowie. Dripping Springs (42-35 over Cedar Ridge behind Tripp Wiese) makes it four from the district. The 6A DII Region IV bracket likely puts Westlake and Dripping Springs on a collision path.
...
Vandegrift and Cedar Park went out by a combined five points. Bridgeland 30-28 and Waller 44-41. Both were one play away; Cedar Park’s unbeaten start now ends in round one.
Thorndale (11-0) is the area’s last unbeaten, 42-15 over Groveton in 2A DI.
Weiss keeps rolling: 56-7 over Iowa Colony sets up a trip against Port Arthur Memorial. Anderson 50-21 over Southside in 5A DI Region IV is Austin ISD’s best playoff win in a while.
5A DII is the deepest Austin bracket: Liberty Hill 50-21, Legacy Ranch 49-13 (first-ever playoff win for the new Liberty Hill ISD school), and Bastrop 62-43 over Victoria West. Bastrop draws Huntsville next; Liberty Hill and Legacy Ranch are in the same Region IV half.
Georgetown’s year ends 17-10 at Angleton, East View fell 45-13 to Fulshear, and Manor got run over 63-16 by Medina Valley. The 5A DI district didn’t travel well.
4A: Wimberley 70-14 over Salado is the statement; Jarrell (9-1), Lago Vista, Giddings and Lampasas are all out.
