SAN ANGELO, TX — The Junction Eagles qualified for the 7 on 7 state football tournament over the weekend at a tournament in Abilene.

It will be Junction's first-ever appearance at state.

After advancing from pool play, Junction defeated Hawley 24-14 with a spot at state on the line.

Albany topped Tolar 21-19 to earn the tournament’s other ticket to state.

Junction beat Henrietta 42-6 and Jacksboro 19-14 in pool play. 

Junction’s only loss was 28-20 to Goldthwaite, but Goldthwaite had already punched its ticket to state, so Junction advanced as the pool winner and made the most of it.
