Westlake will be practicing on Thanksgiving for the 10th straight year after defeating San Antonio Brennan in the Class 6A Division I playoffs

It’s a big week ahead for area running backs. Plus, a pair of standout tight ends hope for big wins over No. 1 seeds.

Westlake topped SA Brennan 24-7 at Burger Stadium in Austin, but many of the Central Texas teams that played Friday ended up on the wrong end of a postseason game and now their seasons are over.

And it continued Friday night with the rest of Central Texas playing their area-round games. Westlake and Lake Travis moved on, but Georgetown, Liberty Hill and Bastrop didn't. It was a tough week for Austin-area Class 5A teams.
