Hennessey can clinch district title this week

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.

Some other playoff outlooks going into Week 9:



District B-1

Garber (7-0) and Canton (6-0) play for the district championship Friday at Garber. The loser is assured of finishing second.

Cherokee, Pond Creek-Hunter and Laverne are tied for third at 3-3. Laverne, though, has wins over both the Chiefs and the Panthers. The Tigers would be third with wins over Waukomis and Merritt.

If Cherokee beats Ringwood and Pond Creek-Hunter beats Merritt, the two teams would likely be playing for fourth the 10th week of the season.
