The Hays Rebels handled the Lehman Lobos, 27-7 Friday night in the regular season finale for both high school football teams. The Rebels go to the playoffs next Saturday against Huntsville, while Lehman missed its bid for the playoffs.

Though the Hays Rebels have dominated the Lehman Lobos in their first three meetings, Friday night’s game between those two teams has a different texture as Lehman guns for its first playoff berth.

In the past Lehman football coach Steve Davis couldn’t find kids to play quarterback. Now, the Lobos have two quarterbacks and a chance to strengthen a playoff bid Friday night against Lockhart at Bob Shelton Stadium.

The Hays Rebels clinched a high school football playoff berth Friday night, while Lehman looked just about ready. Meanwhile, Wimberley lost a close game at Liberty Hill, Dripping Springs lost for the seventh straight time and the San Marcos Baptist Academy ended a three-game losing streak.

The Lehman Lobos won their first district game in four years of varsity football competition Friday night, holding Elgin to 158 total yards for a 21-6 win at Bob Shelton Stadium.

The Lehman Lobos figure to have a good shot at breaking their 20-game losing streak in district football games Friday night, when Elgin visits Bob Shelton Stadium. Still seeking that first league win in four years of varsity football, the Lobos inch closer to that result.

The Hays Rebels began the District 17-4A season with their first win of the year Friday night, while a Lehman loss Friday means the Lobos are still looking for their first district win after 20 tries. Meanwhile, Wimberley solidified its position in District 8-3A, Dripping Springs lost for the fifth straight time and San Marcos Baptist Academy dropped its district opener late.

The two Hays CISD football teams each open their District 17-4A seasons Friday night, each coming from a different direction and each surprisingly situated. Lehman enters the district season 4-1 for the first time ever, while the Rebels are 0-5 for the first time since 1970.

The Lehman Lobos missed their chance to go 5-0 by a point Friday night, losing to Gonzales, 23-22, at Bob Shelton Stadium. But the Wimberley Texans started their District 8-3A season with a key win against Burnet.

The Lehman Lobos will go for their fifth straight win of the high school football season Friday night against Gonzales at Bob Shelton Stadium. A win would ensure that the Lobos will avoid a losing season for the first time in four years of varsity football.
