The setup

  • Playoff format: UIL normally advances the top four teams in each district (general UIL format, REPORTED).

Styles & coaching notes

T-Rohn says: Deweyville sits on the Sabine, which makes it the only place where you can root for East Texas and smell Louisiana gumbo at the same time.

The pick

TAKE: Deweyville 31, West Hardin 23 — Deweyville has won two straight, 86-12 and 49-0 (MaxPreps), and is at home; West Hardin lost 32-26 to Colmesneil last week.
