EAST TEXAS (KLTV) - There were some shockers in the Bi-District Round so the question has to be asked: Who will be the next team to be upset in the football playoffs.
Heading into the Area Round there are teams not playing that many people thought would be. State-ranked No.5 Lufkin had to be the biggest shocker with the Panthers losing to Texas High, 41-35, in double-overtime. It was one of eight 1 vs 4 matchups in both 5A DI and 5A DII to see the lower seed win. One of those also included Marshall losing to Huntsville.
The Area round of the playoffs featured a big time showdown between No.3 Malakoff and Jefferson. The Tigers want to get back to state. The Bulldogs felt like they were a state contender last year and were upset by Malakoff in the same round. The game will be Thursday night at Gladewater.
