The number of our area football teams in the playoffs has dwindled after three rounds, but we still have a few remaining that can make some noise.
Undefeated Cedar Park, the state's top-ranked class 5A team is still going strong. They remained perfect at 13-0 after shutting out Edcouch-Elsa 42-0. The Timberwolves will look to keep things rolling this Friday night at 7:30 when they take on Calallen at the Alamodome down in San Antonio.
We're guaranteed to have a 5A team in the state semifinals with Vandegrift and Vista Ridge hooking up in the quarterfinals. This will be a rematch from a district game back in October where Vandegrift won that high-scoring affair 63-55. Those two will kick things off this Friday night at 7:30 in Round Rock at the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex.
