Kilgore dropped a 3-2 loss in 10 innings at home here at Driller Park (above) to Carthage on Friday night. The Diamond 'Dogs have just two games left in the 2024 regular season before the UIL Class 4A playoffs begin, and they're both against Spring Hill: at home Tuesday, then at Spring Hill on Friday.

Brownwood native Matt McCrane hit a 49-yard field goal for D.C. to complete a comeback and allow the Defenders to beat Arlington, 29-28, a shocker, considering the Defenders were down by 10 (28-18) with under two minutes left. It was the second straight week that happened in the UFL: San Antonio did it to Memphis last Saturday. (Photo by DENNIS JACOBS - ETBLITZ.COM)
