Palestine quarterback Olin Terry was nearly speechless.
The Wildcat senior could not find the words after Palestine defeated Westwood 49-7 Friday night at Wildcat Stadium, clinching a playoff spot for the first time since Terry has been on the varsity team.

For five years, the game between Palestine and Westwood have been for bragging rights around the city.
The state are much higher this time around.

Palestine head coach Booker Bowie starts to talk about his quarterback Olin Terry.
Then he changes the topic to Westwood quarterback Tevin Watson. The only thing is the same words he used about Terry, he said about Watson.

The Westwood Panthers still are in the playoff hunt but it has become a little more complicated.
Westwood (2-2, 5-4) defeated Fairfield (0-4, 0-9) 42-35 Friday night at Panther Stadium to keep its postseason chances alive going into the final week.

The window still is open for the Westwood Panthers.
Westwood defeated Fairfield Friday night 42-35 at Panther Stadium to stay in the playoff picture in District 20-3A.

The Westwood Panthers know what it at stake.
They also know they have to take it one game at a time.
A 0-2 district start put Westwood with its backs against the wall, needing to win out to make the playoffs.

CROCKETT — The ailing Westwood offense got the perfect remedy Friday night — the Crockett defense.
The Westwood offense exploded Friday night helping the Panthers stay in the playoff picture with a 42-29 win at Crockett.
“The kids rose up tonight and I am proud of them,” Westwood head coach Kevin Anderson said.
Westwood (1-2, 4-4) still has to win its remaining two games against Fairfield and Palestine to make the playoffs.

The Westwood Panthers know what is at stake for them after dropping the first two district games of the season.
Westwood is in a must-win situation for the remainder of the season if the Panthers hope to make the playoffs for the third straight year. That mind set starts Friday night when Westwood travels to Crockett. The game marks the Bulldogs’ homecoming and will kick off at 7:30 p.m.

Throughout the season, Westwood quarterback Tevin Watson has had the ability to escape pressure and find a way to make big plays.
But Friday night, that evading maneuvers were nullified by an Athens defense that put the clamps on the Panthers in a 27-10 Hornets win at Panther Stadium.
