The Carthage Bulldogs are looking for a state championship for the ninth time. Coach Scott Surratt says Wimberley will be a challenge as they meet for the second time. The two got together in 2020’s semifinals, and Surratt respects Coach Greg Warren’s win-loss record. Kickoff is 11:00 am for the Class 4A Division II title.

The Gunter Tigers now have three state titles over the past six years after defeating Poth 42-7 Thursday.

Sulphur Springs Wildcats (13-3) claimed a 66-54 victory over Texas High Tuesday on their home court. Nacogdoches will be in town Friday as the Wildcats work on the second of three home-game advantages. Nest Tuesday, the Wildcats welcome Bullard and host their Toy Drive while the Lady Cats travel to Quinlan Ford.

Friday No. 18 Mt Pleasant Tigers host Tyler Legacy Red Raiders. Games start at 3:00, with JV at 4:15 and Varsity at 5:30 pm.
