Malakoff may have the better record but it is Columbus who is coming off an incredibly dominant game in the semifinals to make it to the championship round. The Cardinals beat Edna by a 49-6 final last Thursday. Columbus only scored one touchdown in the second half and still won in a landslide. The Cardinals got up 42-0 before Edna was able to score. The Cardinals will likely have to keep their foot on the gas in the second half though if they are going to walk away with this title. Columbus’ only loss this season came in overtime and was by one point against Hitchcock. The Cardinals are more than capable of walking away with this championship.

Unlike most of its season, Malakoff got off to a very slow start in the semifinals but were able to keep its undefeated campaign rolling beating Paradise last week 27-19. The Tigers led the Panthers 7-6 after the first quarter but they weren’t able to score again until the fourth quarter. Fortunately for Malakoff, it was able to wake up and put up 20 to pull off the comeback to make the championship game. The Tigers likely won’t be able to afford getting off to a slow start against the Cardinals considering how prolific the Columbus offense is. The Tigers are undefeated for a reason. Can Malakoff regain its offensive form in time to win this UIL Texas State Championship?
