   I had a group of parents and students come into the restaurant on Market Street the night they locked up the district championship (they were in high spirits, as you can imagine). It got me thinking about the postseason coming up. Are any of you planning to follow the TWHS Highlanders during their 6A playoff run this 2026 postseason? It has been a fantastic district run so far and I am hoping they can make a really deep tournament push.

   We are definitely going to follow them (my teenagers have been talking about this playoff push for weeks now). My oldest was at the game when they sealed the district title and the energy was unbelievable. The only real headache is going to be the stadium parking depending on where they throw down for these early round games (getting out of the lot after a big 6A game is always a test of patience).

   You Woodlands folks act like nobody else in Montgomery County plays ball (Conroe High has had some legendary postseason runs of their own over the years, mind you). But I will give credit where it is due, that TWHS squad earned that 6A district championship this year. Playoff ticket prices at some of these mega-stadiums down south have gotten out of hand though (cheaper to catch a Conroe game half the time), but if they make a deep run it is worth going to watch.

   Cheaper taxes, longer drive.

   Taking my kids to the playoff games. We went to three district games this season. The team looks solid this year. They have a real shot at making noise in 6A. Just hope the opening round site is not two hours away on a Thursday night.

   On November 3, 2016, I drove all the way to Waco for a regional playoff game and swore I would check the bracket logistics more carefully next time. For this 2026 tournament run, the key will be watching how the 6A bi-district matchups line up against the Region III side. If they get paired with a Cy-Fair ISD school in round one, the travel will be manageable. If it is a 7:00 p.m. kickoff down in Sugar Land on a Friday, you need to leave Harper's Landing by 4:15 p.m. sharp to clear the I-45 to Beltway 8 slowdown.

   Measure twice, call once.

   Thanks for the heads up on the drive time Hank. Are most of the games streamed online locally if someone cannot make a long Friday drive out of town?

   I usually just tune into the local audio stream on my phone while I am out on Lake Woodlands catching the evening bass bite. Nothing quite like drifting near Northshore Park with the cool autumn air coming in while the Highlanders are driving down the field. Hope they go far this postseason.

   The early kayaker gets the bass.

   If the game is at Woodforest Bank Stadium the traffic off Vision Park Drive is going to be a disaster like it always is. Everyone tries to squeeze out onto Research Forest at the same exact minute. Great district championship run for the kids though. My daughter plays high school softball so I know how much work goes into getting a trophy like that.

   Coming from Katy where high school football playoffs are practically a mandatory civic duty, I am glad to see the Highlander crowd getting hyped for 6A tournament play. Trust me, driving across Houston for a playoff game is still ten times better than doing the Katy Freeway commute at 5 p.m. on a Tuesday. I will definitely be tracking their bracket run.
