The second game on Wednesday was the Refugio Bobcats against the Post Antelopes. You may recall that Refugio is the longtime rival of Mason's during every year's playoffs.

The final score was Refugio 28, Post 7. The Championship is Refugio's fifth in school history and first since 2016. They have three this decade.  The other was in 2011.
