Liberty Hill football, Hays among 5 Austin-area teams hoping to claim playoff spots
As the Texas high school football regular season nears its conclusion, Manor, Rouse and other Central Texas teams are hoping to snatch a playoff spot.
The 2026 high school football playoffs in Austin are still uncertain for several teams. The top four teams in each district from Class 2A through 6A qualify for the postseason. Hays, Manor, Rouse, Hendrickson, and Liberty Hill are five Central Texas teams that are hoping to secure one of the final spots in their respective districts.
Hays, Manor, and Rouse all have several games left that could potentially secure their playoff spots. Hays has a chance to sneak into the postseason if they win their remaining games, while Manor and Rouse must win against Anderson, Lockhart, Boerne Champion, Hutto, and Vandegrift to secure their spots. Hendrickson is just outside of the playoffs, but could potentially sneak in with some wins in their remaining games.
Liberty Hill is holding the fourth spot in District 13-5A DII, but must win against Long Creek and then San Antonio Veterans Memorial in order to secure their playoff spot.
