Magnolia Has Won Three Straight and Sits in a Four-Way Tie for Second. Klein Cain Is Thursday, Tomball Is Next.
By The Magnolia Standard · October 27, 2026
Eleven days ago the Bulldogs were fourth. Now they are one of four teams tied for second, and Magnolia plays one of the other three in its last game.
Magnolia came off its open week and beat Klein Forest 48-20 on Friday, October 23. That is three straight district wins, after a 17-7 win over Klein Oak on October 2 and a 45-21 win over Tomball Memorial on October 9.
The Bulldogs are 4-2 in District 15-6A and 4-4 overall. When we last checked on October 16, they had won two in a row after starting the season 1-4.
The table
Klein leads the district at 6-1. Behind it, four teams are tied at 4-2: Klein Oak, Magnolia, Klein Collins and Tomball. Klein Cain is 3-3.
The UIL sends four teams from each 6A district to the playoffs. Five teams already have four district wins. Somebody with a winning record is going to stay home.
Head-to-head results will matter. Magnolia beat Klein Oak. It lost to Klein Collins, 42-35, back on September 18. How a tie is broken is set by each district's own rules, which the paper has not seen for 15-6A, so we are not going to guess at scenarios.
The last two
- Thursday, October 29, 7 p.m.: Magnolia against Klein Cain (3-3 in district, 5-3 overall)
- Friday, November 6, 7 p.m.: Magnolia against Tomball (4-2 in district, 6-2 overall)
Note the Thursday. The Klein Cain game is a night early.
In district play Magnolia has scored 221 points and allowed 125. Only Klein and Klein Oak have allowed fewer.
Magnolia West's win
Our last report had the Mustangs at 0-4 in district. The same night it ran, they won one. Magnolia West beat Klein Collins 18-15 on October 16, the first district win of its season and a loss that is one reason Klein Collins is in that tie instead of above it.
Klein beat the Mustangs 60-7 on October 22. At 1-5 in district with two games left, Magnolia West can finish no better than 3-5, which puts it out of the playoff race. It plays Klein Oak on Friday, October 30, and Tomball Memorial on November 6, both at 7 p.m.
