If things go right, the Cougars could face Tomball Memorial in the season’s last game with a playoff spot on the line for the winner.

The top four teams in district advance, and Tomball is currently a game ahead of Marshall for that fourth-place spot. Tomball still plays two of the four teams ahead of it.

With Friday night’s big win against Willowridge, here is how the rest of the season breaks down:

10/18 (Homecoming): vs. Spring Woods (0-5. 0-2)

A must-win for Tomball if it hopes to make the playoffs.

10/26: at Ridge Point (4-1, 2-0)

Winning this would be very difficult but an upset would put Tomball in the running for one of the top two spots.

11/1: vs. Stratford (3-2, 2-0)

The team to beat in district, Stratford and Ridge Point are likely to claim the top two spots. But if Tomball can upset one of these two teams, the Cougars are in good shape heading into the final week of the season.

11/8: at Memorial (2-3, 0-2)

Yes, that’s correct – AT Memorial. That’s because we’re considered the visiting team at “Tomball Stadium” for the final game. But be nice to our cross-town rivals: If they beat Marshall the week before, they could put Tomball in position to be playing for that final playoff spot the final week of the season.

As if there wasn’t enough riding on this game already.
