ARLINGTON — Westbrook had title game experience on its side Wednesday in the Class 1A Division I championship against Gordon.
However, the Wildcats didn’t have a speed advantage. And that’s a main reason their chance of three-peating ended with 3:45 left in the third quarter at AT&T Stadium as the Longhorns’ 1-2 punch of Stryker and Riley Reed paved the way for a 70-20 victory.
Despite the program’s first playoff loss in 15 games, Westbrook coach Homer Matlock was pleased with how his team conducted itself all season long.
