For the fifth straight year, the Aledo Bearcats football team is going to play for a state championship. Despite an even matchup in the first half, the Bearcats stormed out big in the second to run away with a 55-28 win over Wichita Falls Rider on Friday night at Apogee Stadium in Denton.
“[Rider] made a couple of mistakes and our kids capitalized on them,” head coach Tim Buchanan said about the game. “We created most of those mistakes on their part.
“Our kids played well. That’s all you can say, they played well on offense, played well on defense and I just try not to mess it up.”
