A tremendous football season recently came to an end for the Vidor Pirates and Little Cypress-Mauriceville Battlin Bears, but both teams had several big moments throughout the season and so did a lot of the players in District 10-4A Division I play.

The district champion Lumberton Raiders are still rolling along in the playoffs as they prepare for Tyler Chapel Hill Friday night in the Class 4A Region III Division I Regional Semifinals.
