STERLING CITY, TX — The Water Valley Wildcats took care of business tonight against the rival Robert Lee Steers in their playoff opener, 98-50.25 miles. That is the distance that separates the towns of Water Valley and Robert Lee. Over the years, they have battled on the football field, basketball court and on the track, usually in district play. That changed this year when the UIL placed them in different districts.So, fans of the rivalry had to wait until the bi-district round of the playoffs this season to see them go head-to-head.“Just seeing them so much last year (Robert Lee coach Lee McCown) and I know each other pretty well,” said Water Valley head coach Trey Sisco. “They do what they do, and we try to counter it and vice versa. It makes it kind of hard when you play those guys over and over. Especially against good coaches like that.”At one point, it looked like the game might be over at halftime with the Wildcats pulling ahead 28-6 in the first quarter.
