Central Texas high school football teams produced important wins that affected the postseason during Week 11.
East View’s 31-0 defeat of Rouse not only earned the Patriots a playoff spot out of District 24-6A, but it also bumped Vandegrift up to Division I. Hutto then defeated the Vipers to be the top seed in Division I, though both squads will have to travel for their bi-district matchup.

Bowie’s win also gave it the top seed in Division I, meaning it will host Round Rock, while Johnson has to travel to Lake Travis. And Georgetown beat Killeen to earn the final playoff spot out of District 12-5A Division I.
Most Austin-area teams play bi-district playoff games Friday, though there are a handful of contests Thursday.
