No word on the nearby Wimberley-New Braunfels Long Creek game, which also has been stuck in a lightning delay.

At least two games are in weather delays

Two Central Texas games being played not far from each other have both been suspended because of lightning in the area: the Lake Travis-Cibolo Steele game in Cibolo and the Wimberley-New Braunfels Long Creek game being played in New Braunfels.

Lake Travis and Steele are tied 28-28 in the third quarter. Wimberley’s leading 42-7.

Elsewhere, the Westlake Chaparrals lead fellow Class 6A power Prosper by a field goal at halftime, 17-14. Round Rock is on top of Dripping Springs 21-13 at halftime, Liberty Hill has scored a couple of second-half touchdowns but Vandegrift is coasting in the fourth, 38-14. And around the state: Euless Trinity is bouncing back from last week’s loss to Westlake in not-so-good fashion, trailing Aledo 24-0 at halftime. And Allen is all over Southlake Carroll, 42-21 in the third quarter.
