St. Thomas On to Texas Final

With this being a playoff game, composure and scoreboard discipline is hugely important, and St Thomas was able to build in their 15-12 lead with the goalkicking of hooker Jacob Ramos, who slotted penalties at 45 and 50 minutes. 

So that made it 21-12. Strake brought it closer with a try from Gabriel del Almo. But as time whittled down, St. Thomas fullback Gavin Burford sold a dummy and raced in to, along with the conversion from Ramos, seal the victory.

This was a massive performance from the St. Thomas forwards, who had been a big part of the earlier match between the two, a month ago, which St. Thomas won by two. 

Along with Ramos and Burford, St. Thomas leaned heavily on outside back Xander Young, who was a serious thorn in Strake's side.

Celina defeated HEB Saturday 63-0, paced by Ruan Minaar. Along with Dallas Jesuit, Celina is favored to get through the playoffs from the North.
