Hamshire-Fannett’s offense totaled 300 yards of offense, but the Longhorns dropped another close game in District 10-4A Division II, 27-26 at Silsbee on Friday.

Hamshire-Fannett (5-4, 1-2 in 10-4A-II) lost by three or fewer points for the second week in a row, following a 38-35 defeat to Liberty. It was the Longhorns’ third defeat by a similar margin this season and the third game in the last four to be determined either in overtime or by a field goal or less. (H-F won the overtime game over Shepherd.)

Marcus Morris ran for 150 yards and had all of the Longhorns’ passing yards. Each of the Longhorns’ touchdowns came on passes.

Carson Wright caught one of the TDs and finished with 47 yards.

Hamshire-Fannett will host West Orange-Stark in the regular-season finale next Friday.

 

West Orange-Stark 33, Liberty 24

WEST ORANGE — Claiming their 45th district win in a row, the West Orange-Stark Mustangs got past a gritty Liberty Panthers unit 33-24 in District 10-4A Division II action at Hooks Stadium Friday night.

The Mustangs (5-4, 3-0) cashed in on three Liberty turnovers with senior Teshaun Teel accounting for two of them in the first half as WOS was able to hang on against the Panthers (5-3, 1-2).

The Mustangs were without the services of injured senior running backs Kavyn Cooper and Justin Sibley due to ankle injuries.

WOS finished with 295 total yards as they spread the wealth around.

Quarterback Tyrone Wilson completed 12-of-19 passes for 125 yards and rushed for 51 yards on nine carries. Ja’marcus Ross had 62 yards on 12 totes while freshman Elijah Gales had 55 yards on 10 carries.

The Mustang win offset and amazing performance by Liberty senior J.J. Slack, who did a little bit of it all.

Slack rushed for 127 yards on 19 carries, completed 5-of-11 passes for 197 yards and caught three passes for 56 yards. Keegan Turner completed 5-of-9 passes for 100 yards and rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries as the Panthers finished with 378 total yards.

 

Orangefield 56, Warren 0

ORANGEFIELD — The Orangefield Bobcats took out some frustration by blowing out the Warren Warriors 56-0 on Senior Night in their home finale in District 12-3A Division I action Friday night.

The Bobcats (5-4, 2-4), even though they will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2012, are looking to finish out the year strong with one game remaining as they completely dominated the winless Warriors (0-9, 0-6).
