HOUSTON — The Columbus High School football team is heading to AT&T Stadium for a shot at the 3A UIL state championship as they defeated Edna High School in blowout fashion Dec. 12 at Rice University Stadium in Houston by a final score of 49-6.
The Cardinals had victory on their mind from the very start as this game was visibly out of reach for Edna as early as the end of the first quarter. Columbus put the offensive attack on for the entire game with the pass and run game, so much so that they were able to rest their starters in the fourth quarter.
“We prepared a long time for this,” said Columbus head football coach Matt Schobel.
