Hennessey can end any speculation about the District A-1 race by beating Chisholm Friday night.
The Eagles (7-0) can clinch the district championship with a win over the Longhorns.
Oklahoma Bible Academy (6-1), which is still in the District A-1 championship mix, can clinch second place with a win over Mooreland (1-6). OBA is in the playoffs regardless.
Okeene (5-2) controls its destiny for third in the A-1 race. The Whippets would need to beat Hooker (0-7) and Beaver (4-3) the next two weeks.
Beaver’s 8-7 upset of Turpin throws fourth-place in a whirlwind.
Turpin, Texhoma and Beaver share third place at 4-3 with Pioneer a game behind at 3-4.
Texhoma travels to Turpin Friday. Beaver visits Pioneer.
If Texhoma wins, the Red Devils would be in excellent shape since it has wins over Beaver, Turpin and Pioneer. The first tiebreaker is head-to-head games.
Texhoma faces winless Hooker the next week.
If Turpin wins, the race goes down to the last week. All the contenders have tough games next week — Beaver faces Okeene, Turpin hosts Hennessey and Pioneer meets OBA.

Sooners looking for more playmakers
DeMarco Murray and Ryan Broyles entered the season as the proven playmakers for No. 7 Oklahoma. They’re not supposed to be the only ones making big plays, though.
Murray ran for a career-best 218 yards and two touchdowns and Broyles had 142 yards receiving with two scores in the Sooners’ season-opening win against Utah State on Saturday night. But no other player gained more than 15 yards on any given play, heaping all of the heavy lifting onto Murray and Broyles. - Blake resigns as Tar Heels assistant
