MATHIS — Donnie Butler is fast.

The rest of the Mathis Pirates aren’t too far behind.

Butler spearheaded a Mathis running game that pounded out 472 total yards with 296 of his own with four touchdowns as the Pirates ran past Lyford 41-24 in their Class 3A Division-II bi-district game here Friday night.

Butler scored on gallops 55,74, 56 and 37 as Mathis’ slot-T scheme was more than effective for the Pirates (8-3).

MATHIS — The last time the Lyford Bulldogs faced a team of Pirates in the first round, things didn’t go as planned.

In 2008, Lyford brought the Sinton Pirates down to Bulldog Stadium and watched them win 48-14.

This year, the Dogs are hoping for a different result against —again— Pirates.

However, it’s the Mathis Pirates that 10-0 Lyford will face when the Bulldogs trek to the Coastal Bend tonight for their Class 3A Division-II bi-district game.

With the state tournaments starting this weekend, here’s highlighting the top five playoff games followed by a rapid-fire look at the rest:

McALLEN HIGH VS. EAGLE PASS: This year Eagle Pass has been as erratic as Sally Field playing Sybil. They’re up and they’re down, they’re in then they’re out … a walking Katy Perry song. I the Bulldogs will begin the playoff season with a lot more focus than their opponent. McALLEN HIGH 28, Eagle Pass 14
