GRR: Lonestar
Sam Houston State won the Lonestar Conference championship over the weekend, and did so in somewhat dominant fashion.
The Lonestar D1AA Conference decides its champion this week with an eight-team playoff.
Unlike many conferences, that go through their playoffs either with a semifinal and final over a weekend, or split their playoffs over multiple weeks. Not the Lonestar—they have shortened quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday, and the final on Sunday.
The Lonestar D1AA competition should be an interesting one to watch in the New Year.
Sam Houston State put aside their one conference loss of the season to win the Lonestar D1AA Conference over the weekend.
The Bearkats had dropped a close loss to Rice during the regular season and as a result came into the playoff weekend as the #2 seed. That didn't sit right with them.
Rice capped off an 8-0 season with a fairly solid 33-10 victory over University of Dallas Saturday.
The Owls take the #1 seed into the Lonestar DIAA playoffs, and a win in the semifinals will book this quickly-improving side into the CRAA DIAA regionals, joining the other Lonestar finalists, Iowa State, and Kansas in the East.
