🦃🏈 Thanksgiving Week Regional Semifinal Preview:
Hamilton Bulldogs (10–2) vs. Price Carlisle Indians (7–5)
Friday, November 28 • 3:00 PM • Tiger Stadium, Corsicana, TX
Broadcast Live on TOTR Media
As families across Texas gather for turkey, pie, and football, the Hamilton Bulldogs and Price Carlisle Indians are preparing their own Thanksgiving feast — a Regional Semifinal showdown served hot in Corsicana. And for the first time ever, these two teams will meet at the table.
🐾 Hamilton Bulldogs: Bringing a Full Plate
Fresh off a 27–14 win over Mildred, Hamilton arrives with momentum and an appetite for more playoff success.
Running back Halston Haile carved up the defense like a Thanksgiving turkey, slicing his way to 222 rushing yards and 2 TDs. Receiver, Pierce Summers added the perfect side dish, catching two touchdown passes to round out a balanced offensive spread.
Defensively, Hamilton brought the stuffing.
Dixon Kellner patrolled the secondary like the last slice of pumpkin pie was on the line, finishing with 7 pass breakups.
Bret Bauman was the main course in the trenches, delivering 16 tackles and 6 tackles for loss — the kind of hearty performance that anchors a playoff meal.
The Bulldogs enter the week favored by 8 points (TOTR Computer) and 14 points (Harris Ratings) — but as every family knows, Thanksgiving leftovers can surprise you.
🪶 Price Carlisle Indians: Serving Up a Dangerous Dish
Carlisle earned their spot at the table with a 41–23 win over Alvord, led by their do-it-all junior quarterback Antonio Ibarra, who has put up 12 passing TDs and 14 rushing TDs on the year.
Ibarra is the kind of player who brings his own seasoning — unpredictable, explosive, and capable of changing the recipe at any moment.
Defensively, the Indians rely on Ivan Garza and Chuy Enriquez, two players who bring the toughness of a cast-iron skillet and the grit needed to slow Hamilton’s ground attack.
🏈 What’s Being Served Friday
This matchup is a Thanksgiving platter of contrasting styles:
Hamilton: Ground-and-pound mashed-potato power and a defense as steady as grandma’s gravy. Don’t forget about the steady hand of the Red Baron, Carson Roberts.
Carlisle: Big-play cranberry-sauce splash, highlighted by Ibarra’s dual-threat flavor.
The key storyline? Whether Hamilton’s defense can keep Ibarra contained — or whether Carlisle mixes up the ingredients enough to throw off the Bulldogs’ recipe.
