A&M Consolidated Defeats Richmond Randle 28-24 in Playoff Opener

A late touchdown pass on third-and-long handed Richmond Randle a stunning 28-24 defeat against College Station A&M Consolidated in Rosenberg, ending the Lions’ perfect season in the opening round of the postseason.

Yahoo Sports reported that the bi-district playoff matchup on Friday, November 13, 2026, brought an abrupt end to a dominant run for Randle, which had won 41 of its previous 42 games and entered the contest ranked No. 2 in the High School On SI Texas Top 25 poll.

The loss also concluded the legendary career of Landen Williams-Callis, a University of Texas commit who became just the fifth player in state history to rush for 10,000 yards during the second quarter.

Williams-Callis finished the night with 235 yards and two touchdowns, closing his high school career with 10,206 rushing yards. Dave Campbell’s Texas Sports captured the dramatic finish on social media as A&M Consolidated secured the upset.

How the Tigers Pulled Off the Upset

Entering the game as heavy underdogs with a 6-4 record, the Tigers wasted no time taking control. Holt Goodwin connected with Mari Moore for a 12-yard touchdown pass to cap an opening possession that put A&M Consolidated ahead 7-0.

Ja’marlon Mooring extended that lead later in the first quarter with a long touchdown run. After Randle put up a field goal, Goodwin struck again in the second quarter by finding a wide-open Joseph Young for a 26-yard score on third-and-9, pushing the margin to 21-3.

Randle clawed back right before halftime. Jamir Young heaved a Hail Mary pass that was tipped before Kamar Chavez-Brown reeled it in inside the end zone as time expired, cutting the deficit to 21-17.

The Lions finally grabbed their first lead early in the fourth quarter at 24-21 when Williams-Callis punched in a touchdown run. With less than two minutes remaining, A&M Consolidated faced a daunting third-and-26 from the Randle 32-yard line.

Goodwin found Moore near the 5-yard line, and the receiver eluded two defenders to step into the end zone for the go-ahead score. Randle drove deep into Tiger territory in the closing seconds, but a desperation lateral play failed as time ran out.

What Lies Ahead in the Bracket

A&M Consolidated improves to 7-4 with the victory and advances to the area round of the University Interscholastic League 5A Division I playoffs. The Tigers will face Goose Creek Memorial, which advanced after defeating Houston Milby 82-27.

The winner of next week’s area matchup moves on to the regional semifinals to face the victor between Pflugerville Weiss and Port Arthur Memorial. College Station plays La Porte on the other side of the regional bracket.
