Storylines & stakes
- Buna started 4-0, then lost three straight district games, one of them 41-40 to Anahuac, before beating Coldspring-Oakhurst. At 1-3 it likely needs to win out (@Kirbyville next) to have a playoff shot.
- Kirbyville is idle this week (MaxPreps).
- Playoff format: UIL normally advances the top four teams in each district (general UIL format, REPORTED).
Styles & coaching notes
Buna allows 19.0 ppg (SETXsports top 10).
T-Rohn says: Buna’s a small town. The whole crowd will know the final before the band packs up, and the ones that left early will hear it wrong anyway.
The pick
TAKE: Buna 39, Tarkington 14 — Buna allows 19.0 ppg (SETXsports) and lost to Anahuac by one, while Tarkington lost to Anahuac 64-26 (MaxPreps).
