High School Football Area Round Scores and Highlights

The Area Round of the UIL Football Playoffs is underway

BEAUMONT, Texas — Ten local teams entered the Area Round of the UIL Football Playoffs and six are moving on.

Port Arthur Memorial advanced in the 5A-DI bracket with a wild 52-50 win over Frisco Wakeland in four overtimes. It's the first time the Titans have reached the Regional round since 2017. 

Their Jefferson County neighbor is also moving on. Port Neches-Groves built a 24-6 halftime lead before holding off tenth ranked Austin LBJ, 24-17. The Indians will be looking for their first Regional win since 1999 when they take on Brenham next week. 

In 4A-DI the L-Train is steaming ahead. Lumberton used a stingy defense to get past Stafford 23-8 in Beaumont ISD's Memorial Stadium. The win propels the Raiders into the Regional playoffs for only the second time in program history. 

A pair of teams from Southeast Texas will play in the 4A-DII Regionals. Silsbee stayed perfect with a 34-0 shutout of Smithville, while Hamshire-Fannett will play in their first Regional since 1991 after edging Waco Connally, 33-30. 

Meanwhile Newton continues to crush all teams that stand in their way. New Boston was the latest victim as the Eagles soared past the Lions, 65-8.
