Stephenville 31, Gatesville 3 — The Yellow Jackets (6-3, 3-1) solidified their hold on the No. 2 seed with a workmanlike win over Gatesville (3-6, 1-2). 

Krece Nowak rushed for 126 yards and two touchdowns and Kade Renfro hit 15 of 17 passes for 163 yards and a score to lead Stephenville. 

SHS tallied a modest 335 yards in total offense, but in limiting Gatesville to a first-quarter field goal, didn’t require anything more.
