The Raymondville Bearkats are the 16-4A DII district champions for the first time since the 2010 season. The Kats ran the table with a 3-0 district mark with their latest win coming against Progeso 45-0 last Friday.
With the four team district, Raymondville will have a bye week in week 11 before gearing up for the playoffs.
Senior QB Jacob Posas has eclipsed the thousand yard mark on the ground and through the air. The senior has ran for 1,027 yards and has ran for an impressive 15 touchdowns. Through the air, Posas has thrown for 1,097 yards with six touchdowns.
The early outlook is the Kats will likely meet West Oso in the class 4A bi-district round. The last bi-district title came in 2012 when they beat La Feria 52-36. Two out of the last three years, Raymondville has bowed out of the playoffs against Sinton.
Bobcats finish strong heading into postseason
Rio Hondo will head into the playoffs with plenty of confidence and a healthy roster. The Cats are projected to meet Orange Grove in the bi-district round.
After dropping their district opener to Raymondville, the Bobcats won their next two and are fresh off a 48-21 win against Port Isabel.
Against the Tarpons, senior running back Danny Vasquez ripped off 384 yards on the ground on 19 carries and three scores.
La Feria stays hot, wins district
The Lions won the District 16-4A DI title and are riding a four-game win streak heading into their bi-district matchup against Beeville Jones.
Through their four-game streak, the Lions have scored 30 or more points. In their regular season finale the Lions scored a season high 55 points against the Pirates.
Dorian Hernandez accounted for six scores against the Pirates. Hernandez rushed for three scores and 114 yards, while throwing for another three touchdowns and 203 yards.
