They got clobbered by undefeated Carthage 49-21 Friday, giving up touchdowns almost every time Carthage had the ball.

I can't find Brooks' numbers from the game, but he finished the year with a team-high 154 tackles, 15 tackles for loss and four interceptions. He was instrumental in Kennedale reaching the championship game for the first time in school history. Carthage won its sixth title in the last 10 years.

You know they take high school football seriously in a state when the championship game is three days before Christmas. The 4A playoffs had a 64-team bracket, requiring six wins for the title. Kennedale scored at least 42 points in every playoff game until the final.
