CELINA — Nathan Elliott passed for 137 yards and three touchdowns as Celina rolled in its first district game at home, 35-0 over Anna.

Anna (2-5, 0-1) had two early opportunities, pushing inside Celina’s 20-yard line twice in the first quarter, but came away with no points.
Simmons gave Celina its first score midway through the second quarter, bulling over from 1 yard out to cap a 67-yard drive. He scored in the third quarter on a 7-yard run to make it 21-0.
Malik Berry and Darrien Hampton combined for 58 yards on the ground, and Cory Meaders passed for 87 yards to lead Anna.
Sanger 24, Aubrey 21
SANGER — The defense held its ground late to help overcome two turnovers, and Sanger held on in a tight victory over Aubrey.
Aubrey rolled up 236 rushing yards and kept Sanger’s high-octane offense, led by quarterback Dane Evans, off the field for long stretches.
Aubrey (2-5, 0-2) started off the scoring after a muffed punt gave it the ball at the Sanger 40-yard line, and Kyle Lunn capped a nine-play drive with a 3-yard touchdown run.
Sanger (7-0, 2-0) responded quickly, though. Two plays after Aubrey’s touchdown, Evans found running back Brock Squier for a 36-yard touchdown on a screen pass to tie the score with under two minutes to play in the first quarter.
Jon Garza then gave Sanger the lead for good with a 78-yard touchdown run.
