Week 12 Rewind
Click here for the full Big Country playoff schedule
OFF THE TOP
Things that caught my attention in Week 12:
Abilene 3, El Paso 0. The Eagles, Cougars and Bulldogs sweep bi-district action in dominant fashion by a combined 145-38.
Abilene High beat Del Valle 42-14 as freshman QB Brayden Henry goes 13-13 passing for 197 yards and 2 TD and runs for 90 more yards. Defense was lights out against a high powered Conquistador offense and didn’t allow points until the starters were pulled.
Cooper crushed Andress 49-20 to make it two teams with long but happy 444 mile road trips back to Abilene.
Wylie had no issues at home against El Paso High, taming the Tigers 54-14 to get their first 5A playoff win and sixth win in a row.
Brownwood beat down an El Paso team too, shutting out Irvin 63-0 in Odessa to advance.
Early, Hawley, Cisco and Coleman all roll to easy wins by a combined 215 to 15 to move on to the area round.
Merkel, Haskell and Cross Plains see their seasons come to an end to Holliday, Collinsville and Wink who entered the playoffs a combined 29-1.
May will not get another shot at going to Jerry World as they fall in a 104-91 shootout to Irion County.
Blackwell ends Rising Star’s dream season in a 68-40 decision.
Jim Ned makes it eight wins in a row by shutting out Pilot Point 41-0. Tough area game for the Indians against 10-1 Bushland coming up.
Close losses for Snyder and Stamford. The Tigers season ends 31-21 to Ferris in Cisco while the Bulldogs give up a late score to fall to Forsan 21-14 in Brownwood. Stamford improved from three wins to eight with a relatively young squad.
No surprise, Albany advances. The Lions roll Eldorado 49-13 at the Mustang Bowl. They are our only remaining 2A D2 team and will face Muenster in the area round. Albany has won at least one playoff game for now 20 STRAIGHT SEASONS!!!
Bangs comes up big, blasting Nocona 61-21 to move on. They'll get Riesel next.
Breckenridge (47-7 to Paradise) and Roscoe (42-6 to McCamey) suffer lopsided losses to see their seasons come to an end. The Plowboys should be better next year with many stars returning and the Buckaroos jumped from four wins to eight in 2022.
Defending champion Westbrook avenges their only loss of the year in a big way, blasting Garden City 72-22 to advance to play Buena Vista.
Ira hangs tough and goes the distance against state-ranked Rankin, falling 74-42.
Gorman drops a 48-6 decision against unbeaten Union Hill.
Loraine has no problem against Panther Creek in a 56-0 win at the half. They will draw Richland Springs next after the Coyotes took out Zephyr 61-16. Still a tremendous turnaround year for the Bulldogs who go from 0-10 to 9-2.
Rule is knocked out in a high-scoring 97-48 loss to Newcastle.
Blanket ends a successful first season under Michael Cherry with a 52-6 loss to unbeaten Cherokee.
Abilene Christian cruises past Dallas Lutheran 46-0 and will play 11-0 Lucas Christian in the next round.

BIG COUNTRY A TO Z
Abilene High (5-6) took down district champion Del Valle in El Paso Thursday night 42-14 to advance in the 5A Division I playoffs.
The Eagles shut down the powerful Conquistador offense, only allowing points late in the third quarter with the game out of reach and many starters already standing on the sidelines.
The game was scoreless until a trick play got the Eagle offense rolling. Tim Outlaw, a wide receiver, threw a touchdown pass to Jackson Howle from 24-yards out and Abilene High never trailed.
They added two more scores before the half and scored on three straight possessions in the third quarter and built a 42-0 lead.
Freshman quarterback Brayden Henry went a perfect 13 of 13 passing for 197 yards and added 90 yards rushing. Bam Rashaw picked up 104 yards and three touchdowns on the ground and Outlaw led the receivers with four grabs for 105 yards and a sixer.
The Eagles advance to face Red Oak in the area round Friday night at 7 p.m. at Vernon Newsome Stadium in Mansfield.
Red Oak beat Denton Ryan in overtime 28-29. They went for two and the win after scoring a touchdown in overtime.

Breckenridge (8-3) was blown out by Paradise 47-7 in one of the more surprising results of the bi-district round.
Paradise was good in the regular season but seemed to turn things up a notch in the playoffs to knock the Buckaroos out in the first round for the second straight season.
Breckenridge only trailed 8-7 after one quarter after Sawyer Wimberley’s 46-yard touchdown run, but the Panthers outscored them 11-0 in the second to go up 19-7 at the break. The score was 33-7 at the end of three and Paradise tacked on two more scores in the fourth.
Breckenridge only picked up 140 total yards in the game and allowed 390.
The Buckaroos finished above .500 for the first time since going 7-5 in 2015.

The Cooper Cougars (6-5) routed El Paso Andress 49-20 on the Eagles home field Thursday night and made the long drive home from Far West Texas a happy one.

The challenge will be much bigger for Early in the area round when they meet up with state power Canadian.
Gorman (8-3) could not get past unbeaten Union Hill, falling 48-6 to see the 2022 season come to an end.

May (8-2) will not be playing for a state championship for the third straight season after falling in a 104-91 bi-district shootout to Irion County at Robert Lee Thursday night.
The Tigers had knocked the Hornets out of the playoffs in each of the previous two seasons and this time Irion County got a bit of revenge.
This one was a scoring fest from the start: Irion County led 20-16 after one and 60-55 at the half. May took their big lead at 75-60 in the third and led 83-74 after the third, but the Hornets owned the fourth quarter to pull away for the upset win.
The Tigers racked up 483 yards of total offense in the win, led by Luke McKenzie (170 yds, 6 TD passes) and Braden Steele (186 yds, 2 TD passes) through the air. Bryson Guerrero caught eight passes for 125 yards and a trio of touchdowns and Steele topped the rushing chart with 56 yards and a score. He also led the Tigers with 15 tackles.
May wraps up the year 8-2. They won their first eight games of the year before falling in their final two.
Merkel’s bi-district upset bid came up short in a 40-12 loss to #2 Holliday Thursday night in Graham.
The game was closer than the final score indicated, as the Badgers (3-8) were as close as 24-12 with about three minutes left in the third quarter. The Eagles were able to pull away late but Merkel put up a good fight against one of the top teams in the state.
The Badgers wrap up the 2022 season with a 3-8 record.

Westbrook (10-1) avenged its only loss of the regular season when it really mattered, knocking Garden City out of the playoffs 72-22.
The Wildcats were up 36-14 by halftime and never let up on the way to a 66-22 lead heading into the fourth and the final touchdown that ended the game early.

COLLEGE ROUNDUP
ACU (7-3, 3-0) routed Sam Houston State 45-28 in Huntsville Saturday afternoon.
The Wildcats outscored SHSU 21-7 in the first quarter and upped the lead to 38-14 by halftime thanks to three Bearkat turnovers and a punt block.
Sam Houston pulled as close as 38-28 in the fourth but the Wildcats answered with the final score of the game to put it away.
The Wildcats outgained the Bearcats 398 to 362, but the big number was just one turnover compared to Sam Houston’s four.
Ethan Long went 30-48 for 262 yards and four touchdowns passing. Kendall Catalon led ACU with 78 yards receiving on four catches, while Tristan Golightly caught two touchdowns and Kobe Clark (6 rec, 54 yds) and Rovaughn Banks (3 rec, 11 yds) each caught one. Anthony Smith was the leading rusher picking up 59 yards and a score. Dorian Plumley led ACU with seven tackles.
ACU’s seven wins are the most since they went 7-4 as a Division II program in 2012.
If the Wildcats can beat Stephen F. Austin in the regular season finale Saturday they’ll wrap up the WAC crown and likely earn a berth in the FCS playoffs for the first time.
Hardin-Simmons (9-1, 7-1) earned the 500th win in program history with a 45-16 victory at Texas Lutheran Saturday, but the best news was saved for Saturday when the Cowboys found out they’d earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III playoffs.
The Cowboys will play Trinity in San Antonio Saturday at noon.
HSU picked up nearly 600 yards, ending with 569, and limited TLU to 217 in the win Saturday.
The Cowboys led 24-13 at the half and extended the advantage to 38-16 by the end of three on the way to the win.
Noah Garcia returned to the Cowboy line up at running back and picked up 142 yards and two touchdowns. Gaylon Glynn threw for 214 yards with a touchdown and an interception and ran for 29 yards. Kevi Evans was the top receiver with six grabs for 72 yards. Terrell Franklin, Matt Mitchell and Jamel LaFond each charted six tackles. LaFond also had an interception.
Howard Payne (7-3, 6-2) rallied past Austin College 23-20 to end the season with seven wins for the second year in a row.
The upset minded Kangaroos (1-9, 1-7) were ahead 17-7 at halftime and 17-10 heading into the fourth. They kicked a field goal to lead 20-17 with just under three minutes to go but the Yellow Jackets drove 85 yards in 11 plays in the final minutes to go ahead to stay on a Landon McKinney to Otis Lanier touchdown pass.
McKinney threw for 240 yards and two scores and Lanier hauled in ten passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. He even sealed the game with an interception in the final seconds. Kyle Bell led HPU with 11 tackles.
McMurry (1-9, 1-6) wrapped up its season with a 62-3 road loss at ASC champion Mary Hardin-Baylor.
The War Hawks were outgained 451 to 102 in the game and did not get on the scoreboard until the fourth quarter.
Andrew McBride threw for 110 yards and two interceptions in the loss. Rajan Cunningham was the leading rusher with 18 yards and Nicholas Kuykendall was the top pass catcher with three grabs for 28 yards.
McMurry took a step back to one win in 2022 after going 2-7 in 2021. The War Hawks were hard luck losers by a touchdown or less in three of those games.
Cisco College (3-6, 1-6) wrapped up its season two weeks ago with a 26-7 loss to Navarro.
