At Mission, Sharyland High won its fifth consecutive game, beating visiting Valley View 55-14 at Richard Thompson Stadium to clinch at least a share of the District 31-5A title.
Six different players scored for the Rattlers (8-1, 5-0), who played their final home game of the regular season.
“Our boys performed well,” Sharyland coach Ron Adame said. “It’s like we told our kids, ‘It might be your last home game, seniors. You don’t know what’s next (in the playoffs). So make it a good one. Create a memory.’ And they did a good job.”
With the loss, Valley View dropped to 1-8 overall, 1-4 in district.
PSJA HIGH 42, BROWNSVILLE PORTER 7: At Pharr, the Bears’ offense rebounded nicely from a poor showing last week to improve to 3-3 in District 32-5A.
A win at Donna North next week puts the Bears in the playoffs.
“We know we have what it takes to do well on offense,” PSJA High coach Steve Marroquin said. “For some reason, this is one of those years where we shoot ourselves in the foot. We went back to fundamentals and it paid off for us.”
Receiver Nathan Sifuentes (punt return TD, receiving TD) starred for the Bears.
WESLACO 35, EDINBURG ECONOMEDES 14: At Weslaco, Weslaco High scored on its first three possessions and opened up a 28-7 lead by halftime to defeat Edinburg Economedes and set up a Week 11 showdown against Weslaco East.
Weslaco moves to 5-4 and 4-1 in District 31-6A. With Weslaco East also at 4-1, next week’s winner will be the outright district champion.
“The kids knew what they were playing for,” coach Tony Villarreal said. “They came out really hard the first two quarters.”
WESLACO EAST 48, EDINBURG HIGH 14: At Edinburg, Weslaco East got a huge game from quarterback Darren Rivas to top Edinburg High.
“Darren was on tonight,” Weslaco East coach Mike Burget said. “If we didn’t have Darren Rivas tonight, we would’ve been in a lot of trouble.”
The Wildcats (8-1, 4-1 District 31-6A) gained more than 500 yards on offense, but coach Mike Burget was disappointed in a trio of fumbles.
MISSION HIGH 27, LA JOYA JUAREZ-LINCOLN 14: At Mission, the Eagles won their first district game to improve to 1-4 in District 30-6A. They’re now 2-7 overall.
Juarez-Lincoln fell to 0-5 in district, 0-9 overall. Juarez-Lincoln’s loss means La Joya High is in the playoffs and McAllen Rowe is eliminated.
“It’s just a credit to the players, the fact that they haven’t stopped fighting and are really playing hard,” coach Mario Pena said. “I told them this is their last home game at Tom Landry Stadium. How do you want to remember your last game on our field? Play hard and have no regrets at the end of the game.”
