by

The Malakoff Tigers, Tatum Eagles and Atlanta Rabbits secured bi-district victories to advance in the playoffs, according to KLTV.

KLTV sports director Michael Coleman and Kyle Owens broke down the bracket for Class 3A Division I Region 2 as teams prepare for the next round of matchups. In the top half of the bracket, Tatum earned a 41-39 win over Winnsboro.

“Look at Tatum, getting that huge win last night over Winnsboro 41-39. They move on. They face Whitney. That Whitney put up a lot of points. Tatum is going to have to play ball control kind of like they are known to do,” Owens told KLTV.

Shifting to the bottom half of the bracket, the Malakoff Tigers prepare to face Pilot Point.

“Malakoff Tigers taking on Pilot Point. No disrespect to Pilot Point, but I’m looking for Malakoff in the regional semis,” Owens told KLTV.

Atlanta advanced following a win over Mount Vernon, while Whitesboro defeated Grandview. Those results set up a potential meeting between Atlanta and Malakoff in the following round, featuring Atlanta receiver CJ Whaley.

“And then Atlanta got a big win over Mount Vernon. Whitesboro beat Grandview. So maybe Atlanta and Malakoff next round, which CJ Whaley for Atlanta is a receiver for them. And he is phenomenal. So I’d love to see that matchup with them too,” Owens told KLTV.

Looking at the schedule for the upcoming games, Malakoff will play Pilot Point on Thursday at E.H. Hanby Stadium in Mesquite. Tatum plays Whitney on Thursday at Better Life Stadium in Forney. Atlanta plays Whitesboro on Friday at Gerald Prim Stadium in Sulphur Springs.
