We are just over 24 hours from kickoff and the Hardin Hornets are primed and ready for their third round contest with the Yoakum Bulldogs.
Now it's time to finalize those plans to be at Cy Fair's FCU Stadium on Friday night at 7 p.m.

Oh, and for everyone talking about Texas vs Texas A&M, they have played before, and they will play again.

This is a history making event, as the Hornets fight for a spot in their first Region Championship in school history. So get out there and root on the blue and gold.

For those that can't make it, well we will have the pregame, halftime and postgame shows for you live right here. We will go on air around 6:30 p.m.
