Three Highland Lakes teams are in the second round of the 2025 playoffs for their respective divisions. Burnet has a long trip to Iowa Park for their game, Faith Academy is headed to Bryan, and Llano makes the drive to Converse.
Here are the matchups for Round 2:
Burnet Bulldogs neutral game Randall Raiders
KICKOFF: 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21
WHERE: Hawk Stadium, 1000-1298 Johnson Road in Iowa Park
PREVIEW: Listen to an interview with Burnet head coach Ben Speer in the weekly segment on KBEY 103.9 FM: In the Bulldog Huddle.
LAST GAME: Burnet 21, Andrews 7
Burnet (4-7 overall, 1-3 district) takes on Randall (9-2 overall, 4-1 district) for the second round of the 2025 4A Division I playoffs on Friday. The Bulldogs are coming off of a win over their first round opponent, Andrews (5-6 overall, 3-0 district).
“It feels great (to win the first round), I’m just so joyful for those kids,” head coach Ben Speer said of the team’s win against Andrews. “Especially the seniors, they’ve been through so much adversity this season. It’d be so easy for them to pull away from the team and be selfish, but they never wavered.”
Burnet Consolidated Independent School District is shutting down all of its campuses on Friday to accommodate staff and student travel to the Bulldogs’ game in Iowa Park, about four hours away. The district hopes to get as much support from the community as possible at the game.
