ARLINGTON, Texas, Dec. 19 — One thing’s for certain in Friday evening’s Texas UIL Class 5A Division I state championship game.
The Rangers are going to win the state championship. Everything else is clear as mud.
The Lone Star [Frisco, TX] Rangers and the Smithson Valley [Spring Branch, TX] Rangers are the participants, and at first glance, you might lean toward the Rangers from Lone Star who enter the game with a sparkling 15-0 record.
Smithson Valley, meanwhile, is 14-1 with a 30-21 loss to the Brennan [San Antonio, TX] Bears way back in their second game on September 4. But records alone don’t tell the story as the undefeated Shiner [TX] Comanches found out Thursday afternoon against the two-loss Muenster [TX] Hornets in a 28-0 loss in the Class 2A Division II championship game.
In that game, championship pedigree was a better predictor as the Hornets were also defending a state title, and Lone Star would be wise not to underestimate Smithson Valley.
The game is set for an 8 p.m. EST (7 p.m. CST local) start at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
