The San Augustine Wolves look to punch their ticket to AT&T Stadium next week as they take on the Refugio Bobcats in this Class 2A, Division I State Semfinal!  Marty Murr's Wolves, 14-0 on the season, reached this round with a 55-6 bi-district win over Deweyville, a 39-7 area round win over Wolfe City, a 58-27 regional semifinal win over Price Carlisle and a 50-15 regional final win over Centerville.

Meanwhile, the Bobcats, 12-1 on the season, started their playoff road with a 57-0 bi-district win over Ben Bolt, a 47-13 area round win over Thorndale, a 70-29 regional semifinal win over Holland and a 38-14 regional final win.

Start time for the game is 7 pm at Cy-Fair FCU Stadium (Berry Center) in Cypress.

The winner of this game will face the Stratford/Mart state semfinal which is also being contested tonight.

Refugio appeared on my map back when the great Willie Mack Garza starred there. Then, a month or so ago, I saw a feature on their team on HBO’s Real Sports.  It was a story we are all too familiar with in some respects.  A story in which over half the team lost their homes due to Hurricane Harvey.  A story where those boys started sleeping on cots in a field house/weight room, along with their coach.  The same coach spent every waking moment not at work volunteering rebuilding his kids’ homes.  

And then there was a kid on the team who suffered what was thought to be an injury that would leave him paralyzed for the rest of his life.  Some months later, as he was wheeled through the run-thru by his teammates, he stood and walked to the sidelines despite his prognosis saying he never would. 

I tried to find a link to the amazing story but all I could find was this promo.  If you have HBOgo, etc, it’s worth a watch.  

I hated seeing the Wolves go down tonight.  But if it had to be to anyone, I am glad it was the Refugio Bobcats.  Hope those boys finish the job now.

    • I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners.  I'm really looking forward to watching this game. 
    • Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story. 
    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.
