Another local team moves on in the playoff picture.
Daingerfield's Blue Tigers stunned New Waverly, scoring early and often.
The Tigers drew first blood, posting their first touchdown with less than a minute gone in the first quarter. The point after failed.
New Waverly answered right back, and the score was NW 7, Daingerfield 6 with 10:00 minutes left in the opening quarter.
The Tigers then went on a tear, and the quarter ended 28-7.
New Waverly scored again in the second quarter, and the score stood at 28-14. It would be the Bulldog's last addition to the score.
Daingerfield's Koko Smith had five touchdowns by halftime, and the Tigers went into the lockers with a 48-14 lead.
Daingerfield returned an interception for a score in the third, and Tony Johnson tacked on a TD run late in the third quarter. New Waverly was held scoreless the last half.
Daingerfield faces Newton in Carthage next Saturday at 2:00p.m.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reports that northeast Texas ducks are slow to appear this year.
Milder weather may be delaying the arrival of ducks in our area. Winter patterns are setting in, and hopefully, that will get our feathered table guests on the move south.
Excerpt of the TPWD report follows:
North Zone Duck: Cold weather exited and mild weather set in over the region during the weekend. However, a forecasted front mid-week and into the weekend should help prompt birds to move.
Many hunters in Northeast Texas say they are not seeing the number of mallards they normally see this time of year. Most of the mallards have been harvested in ponds and sloughs near the Red River.
Lake Wright-Patman has been good for gadwalls, teal and wood ducks. Lake Palestine has been good for gadwalls and wood ducks. Caddo Lake has been steady for gadwall, teal and ringed-necks. More divers have shown on Sam Rayburn, Lake Fork and Toledo Bend.
Along the coast near IH-10, mottled ducks, pintails and green-winged teal have made up the brunt of the bag. Many hunters set up on rice fields say they are seeing more birds this year, probably due to poor conditions in the nearby marsh. The first split end at sunset Nov. 30. Prospects are fair to good.
The full report can be found here.

A Three-peat, some repeats, and a newbie squad take wins at Strahan Colliseum.
San Marcos was the sight of the Texas State Title Volleyball shootout this year. While some old hands gunned their way to the top of the heap, a few familiar faces surprised the handicappers.
In big school action, Amarillo notched up their third straight 5A title, winning tight 3-2 matches over League City and Austin Westlake.
In 1A play, Windthorst defended the title they won last year, as did Bushland in the 2A conference.
Oddsmakers were scarcely surprised at those outcomes, even if the 5A matches had them holding their breath.
But if underdogs and unknowns are your thing, then the hotly contested 3A and 4A games were the ones to watch.
Magnoilia returned to 4A state level play for the first time since 2001, only to fall to Hereford, in a 3-0 sweep. Hereford then advanced to face Highland Park, a team they had lost to twice this year. The betting was against them, to say the least, but they walked away champs with a 3-1 upset over the Scots.
In the 3A final contest, both the Lovejoy and Brownwood squads were first time entrants into the big show, and both won their semi final matches convincingly. Brownwood faltered at the last hurdle, and Lovejoy swept them 3-0 for the title.
