A pair of program that date back to the early 1900s will clash for the Class 3A Division I finals on Thursday, Dec. 18 in Arlington.

Kickoff time is set for 3 p.m. between the Grandview Zebras and Yoakum Bulldogs.

Both enter with 13-2 records. Grandview has won 9 in a row, while Yoakum carries a 7-game winning streak into AT&T Stadium.

Grandview has won a pair of titles, going back-to-back in 2018 and 2019.

Meanwhile, Yoakum is seeking title No. 1, but made the big game in 2016 and 1952. The Bulldogs made the finals by beating defending state champion Columbus on Dec. 5, 20-14. That avenged an earlier loss by the Bulldogs on Oct. 17, which decided the district title for the two schools.

Incidentally, the 2018 title for Grandview included a 28-14 win over Yoakum in the semifinals.
