Tivy High School's football team saw its season come to a heartbreaking end Friday night, falling 64-63 to La Vernia in the UIL 4A Division I bi-district playoffs at Bear Stadium.

The Antlers (9-2) entered the postseason looking for their first playoff victory since 2019, while La Vernia (8-3) was looking to continue a run that had seen the Bears advance five rounds deep in each of the previous two seasons.
