The St. Paul Cardinals won a battle between two reigning state champions Friday by beating Austin Regents 25-21, while Shiner, Yoakum and Hallettsville all recorded morale-boosting wins in area football action.

St. Paul, the reigning TAPPS Class 2A champ, scored three first-half touchdowns and made them stand up in a defensive second half to turn back Austin Regents, the defending 3A champ.

Martin Kennedy returned the opening kickoff 80 yards for a score and the Cardinals never looked back in defeating Regents.

A 40-yard TD strike from Dakota Hybner to Justin Natal made it 14-0 for the Cardinals before Regents came back on a 55-yard scoring bomb from Andrew Meynig to Cole Gilmore. But St. Paul made it 22-8 at intermission when Adam Hollenbach broke loose on a 24-yard scoring run.

In the second half, Regents got scoring runs from Douglas and Andrew Meynig but couldn't overcome the Cardinal lead, and St. Paul added a 23-yard Cole Hybner field goal for the final margin.
