The Brownwood Lions’ second chance at qualifying for a 21st straight appearance at the 7-on-7 state tournament occurs Saturday at the Burnet qualifier.
Due to the recent heavy rains and more expected this week, Burnet ISD on Wednesday afternoon announced a change in the schedule.
Pools C and D will now play at Lampasas High School as Brownwood will face Lake Belton at 9 a.m., Lampasas at 10:20 a.m. and Midlothian Heritage at 11:40 p.m. The winners from Pool C and D will square off at 1 p.m. to determine who advances to the 7-on-7 Division II state tournament June 24-25 at Veterans Park and Athletic Complex in College Station.

The Lions – who have advanced to the 7-on-7 state tournament for 20 consecutive years dating back to 2000 – will venture to Graham as 7-on-7 football has resumed this year after the COVID-19 pandemic ended last year’s season before it ever started.
Saturday’s Graham qualifier is being split over two locations – Newton Field in Graham and Porcupine Stadium in Springtown. The Lions will compete in Pool B in Graham with games at 9:45 a.m., 11:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. against Krum, Wichita Falls Hirschi and Dumas.
