If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Stephenville. They will go up against Celina in continuing playoff action. The stakes are high as the two teams are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Stephenville brought a two-game winning streak into their contest against Dunbar last week; they left with a three-game streak. Stephenville took their match against Dunbar by a conclusive 54-31 score. Among those leading the charge for Stephenville was senior Krece Nowak, who rushed for 218 yards and 1 touchdown on 22 carries. This marked the third match in which Nowak has rushed for over 100 yards.
Meanwhile, Celina weren't the first ones on the board, but they got there more often. It was a tight game that could have gone either way, but Celina were the last squad standing with a 35-34 victory over Wilmer-Hutchins. This was a playoff matchup, so the win was all the more important for Celina (and all the more bitter for Wilmer-Hutchins).
Their wins bumped Stephenville to 7-3 and Celina to 6-4. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
