MESQUITE -- The Celina Bobcats scored twice on defense, twice on plays covering 60 yards or more, and avenged last season's ugly semifinal defeat by stopping defending champion Gilmer's 30-game winning streak.
Celina overcame two 14-point deficits in the first half, surged ahead early in the fourth quarter, and held off the Buckeyes, 49-44, in their Class 4A Division II state semifinal Friday night at Mesquite Memorial Stadium.
