The Woodlands players and coaches knew they had to stop Allen quarterback Kyler Murray. But not even a week full of game planning could slow down the Eagles’ highly-touted signal-caller. Murray completed 16 of 21 passes for 335 yards and five touchdowns without an interception as the No. 2-nationally ranked Eagles ended the Highlanders’ 19th straight playoff appearance with a 56-21 victory in a Class 5A Division I regional game at Baylor University’s Floyd Casey Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

“They are an outstanding offensive football team, and their quarterback is outstanding,” The Woodlands coach Mark Schmid said. “They’re going to be tough to beat.”

The Highlanders concluded their season with a 10-3 record. And even though the loss was tough to swallow, it marked the end of an impressive run that included an outright District 14-5A championship and a 6-0 record in league play. click here for complete story and game day photo gallery
