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 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.

Lehman made a move up through its short, tortured high school football history Friday night, beating Lanier, 42-24, for a school-record fourth win. The 4-0 Lobos are starting to look like a playoff contender in District 17-4A, but they still have to get that first district win.

Lehman bottled up an old nemesis Friday night in a 41-6 high school football victory over Austin Reagan. Also, Dripping Springs shut out Wimberley and San Marcos Baptist Academy won easily in San Antonio.

The Lehman Lobos won their high school football opener Thursday night, thriving under the leadership of a sophomore quarterback and a senior wide receiver who ran hard when no one else would.

The Lehman Lobos open a new football season Thursday night in the same position as always, still hoping that they can win their first district game sometime in the next 11 weeks.
