Which Texoma high school football teams face the toughest playoff paths?
With the UIL bi-district playoffs kicking off Thursday, here's a look at which Texoma teams face the toughest roads to a state championship and the potential matchups standing between them and a title.
- And even if Windthorst survives those challenges, undefeated Goldthwaite (10-0), ranked sixth in the Dave Campbell's Texas Football poll, will likely await in the regional championship.
- Windthorst (9-1) Few area teams face a more daunting road through their region than Windthorst.
- The "deep end of the pool" includes Amarillo Palo Duro (9-1), which handed Legacy a 50-9 defeat during district play, along with Lovejoy (9-1) and undefeated Anna (10-0).
The road to Arlington, Texas, though, is rarely straightforward, and for some Wichita Falls-area football teams, the toughest obstacles could arrive long before December.
- For the Moguls, an extended postseason run could require navigating several teams with seven or more victories before even reaching the regional championship.
- The Leopards open against El Paso Chapin (7-3), which enters the postseason riding a six-game winning streak after capturing its district championship.
- Legacy must first navigate a difficult road trip to El Paso before potentially encountering some of the strongest teams in Class 5A Division II.
- Munday (7-3) Munday's postseason begins with a familiar challenge: finding a way past one of the strongest teams in Class 2A Division II.
- The Panthers begin their postseason against Wheeler (8-1), which enters the playoffs with one of the strongest records in Region II.
