Westbrook and Robert Lee Have 6th-Highest Scoring Football Game in Texas History

MERTZON, TX — No. 7-ranked Westbrook and Robert Lee had a shootout for the ages Friday in their first-round playoff matchup.

When the dust settled, Westbrook escaped with a 116-110 win in what is believed to be the sixth-highest scoring game in the history of Texas high school football.

The 226 combined points are the second-most for UIL schools behind Campbell and Fannindel's 247 points in 2017.

The state record is 260 points in a 148-112 win for Bellville Faith over Waco Valor Prep in a matchup of private schools earlier this year.

Westbrook and Robert Lee were on pace to break the record at the end of the third quarter with Westbrook holding a 108-102 lead.

Robert Lee left no doubt that it was one of the better teams in the state by hanging with state power Westbrook. The Steers' season ended with a 7-4 record.

Westbrook (9-2) advances to play Newcastle next week.
