Three RGV football teams hope to shake 'Valley Week'

It’s that time of year.

The Thanksgiving holiday brings a lot more than just giving thanks in high school football.

It also ushers in the phenomenon known as “Valley Week,” normally the third round of the state playoffs that pits a 5A team from the RGV against a San Antonio or Austin-area Region IV team.

Based on the records over the last 19 seasons, it’s no wonder teams and fans in the Alamo City have some extra pep in their step during the week in November/December against their neighbors to the south.


Edinburg North's Edwards comes up big in the clutch

EDINBURG – Simon Edwards’ brief athletic career can be summed up in two words:

Patience and perseverance.

Those two things came together last Friday when Edwards spurned off a career-high 207 yards on 15 carries in a 28-24 Cougars victory against undefeated Sharyland in a Class 5A Division II playoff at Cats Stadium.

The win sends Edinburg North to the third round of the playoffs for the first time in school history. The Coguars (9-3) play San Antonio Brandeis (11-1) in a Region IV semifinal at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio.


With three teams left, District 31-5A rules the postseason

Ask PSJA head coach Mel Rios and he'll tell you just how tough District 31-5A really is.

Rios' Bears came in fifth place in 31-5A this season losing to the second through fourth place teams by a combined score of five points.

PSJA High lost to Edinburg North by three points, 31-28 in a nailbiter from the start.

The following week, the Bears lost to the Edinburg High Bobcats 33-32 in overtime.

Then in Week 10 with the Bears officially out of the postseason, PSJA High went for the win late in the game but came up short on the two-point play for the 21-20 loss.

AREA ROUND FEATURES


Edinburg North, Sharyland to meet in an area-round battle

EDINBURG — Edinburg North and Sharyland have so much to play for at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night at Cats Stadium that it is almost easy to forget that the teams collide in a Class 5A area round game.

The game arrives with an element of revenge, with the guarantee that no matter what happens history will be made and with a couple of Sharyland streaks on the line. All that without even mentioning that it will be the only playoff game played in the Rio Grande Valley this weekend and possibly the last played in deep South Texas this season.
