And the teams continue to whittle down.
As we push into the State Quarterfinals next week, teams just have to win two more games to get to AT&T Stadium. That's it. Amazing how fast this has gone.
There were not too many surprises in the Regional Semifinals as the Houston blue blood powers continued to flex their muscles. There were some big rushing performances over the weekend at NRG Stadium, which impressed.
North Shore looked ultra-impressive against Katy with a date with Atascocita set for next week at Sheldon ISD Stadium on Saturday.
See how the rest of the Houston teams, check out some highlights and more.
This post will continue to get updated throughout the evening with information.
