A clean sweep for Weatherford Democrat teams in the playoffs this weekend as Gordon joins Aledo, Brock and Peaster with a 69-24 win over Union Hill in the 1A state semifinals.

The Longhorns will play Rankin in the state championship at AT&T Stadium later this month, eyeing a third-straight state title.

Read the full recap with thoughts from QB Noah Kostiha and head coach Mike Reed later tonight on our website.

All three Parker County teams have punched their ticket into the fifth round, so it’s up to Palo Pinto’s Gordon to complete the clean sweep.

The Longhorns (12-0) ride a 42-game win streak and are one victory away from a trip to AT&T Stadium as they take on Union Hill (11-2) in the 1A state semifinal from Ennis’ Lion Memorial Stadium.

The Greyhound bus rolls on!

The Peaster Greyhounds avenge their only loss of the season, taking down Paradise in the 3A Div. I state quarterfinal, 17-14.

A program that celebrated its first postseason win ever in 2024, now awaits the winner of Grandview and Pottsboro in the state semifinals for a chance to play at AT&T Stadium.

One year ago, the Denton Ryan Raiders shattered Aledo’s dream of a state championship in the 5A Div. I regional final.

The Bearcats took the district contest earlier this season but it doesn’t compare to the redemption they crave in the regional final rematch tonight at Northwest ISD Stadium.

Weatherford, you are simply amazing! The way you pull together to help each other in times of need, makes us proud to serve here.

We started our heater drive on Amazon this week, and within 24 hours, you all had bought out our entire wish list! Thank you so much to everyone who gave. You could have just kept on scrolling, but you stopped and took time to care for your neighbors. Truly remarkable.

If you or someone you know needs a heater, come by the PD to pick one up. We have a few already here, but you may want to give our amazing Amazon driver a few days to deliver them all.

Reminder! If you ordered a winner's kit, please come and pick them up at our office, 512 Palo Pinto St. For questions, contact Karen Drinkard at 817-594-7447 ext.224
