Refugio fell short in its quest to defend its Class 2A state title Friday.
The Bobcats fell to the Shiner Comanches, 24-13, in San Antonio in the state high school football quarterfinals.
Refugio fell behind early after an even first quarter, with Shiner pulling ahead with a second-quarter touchdown and successful PAT.
The Bobcats scored once more in the fourth quarter, but Shiner's 10 points in the fourth ultimately put the game out of reach for Refugio.
