Howe will play Hughes Springs (8-3) Friday night at 7:30 at Van Memorial Stadium in Van, Texas located in Van Zandt County.  Howe will be the home team, but will wear all white again.

Hughes Springs defeated New Diana 49-18 on Friday night.

Howe set a playoff record by scoring 30 points by beating Cooper 30-20.  Howe’s previous playoff point high was 28 which happened twice.

Howe is 1-7 vs. Cooper dating back to the initial game in 1978.

Howe’s lone win came in a 6-0 win in 1979.  Since then, Howe has lost six in a row.  One of the most exciting games in school history occurred in week one of the 1989 season when #8 ranked Cooper was led by future NFL star Bam Morris and future SMU player Byron Bonds.  Howe had the best senior class since 1970.  Howe, down 24-22, had the ball at the Cooper one yard line about to score with :30 left on the clock, but fumbled the ball and Cooper recovered and came away with the win.
