The collision of two powerhouse programs takes center stage Friday afternoon at Crowley ISD Stadium as the undefeated Aledo Bearcats (12-0) battle the Arlington Heights Yellowjackets (11-1) in a highly-anticipated 5A Division 1 regional round playoff matchup.

Aledo enters with momentum after dismantling Tascosa 42-0 in last week’s area round, showcasing the dominant defense that has fueled their perfect season.

Meanwhile, Arlington Heights brings an explosive offensive attack that put up 56 points in its area round victory over Monterey.

The contrast in styles sets up a classic strength-versus-strength showdown, with Aledo’s championship pedigree facing perhaps its toughest test yet against a Yellowjackets squad that has proven they can score points in bunches.
