The rumors of Holliday’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. The Eagles (8-1, 4-0) moved the ball up and down Veteran’s Field, rolling to a 47-22 win over City View (5-4, 2-2) to give Holliday its fourth-straight district title and first under new head coach Kyle Atwood.

The Archer City Wildcats (4-4) just might be the most dangerous four seed in the Class 2A, Division 1 playoff bracket. They still have a matchup with the Munday Moguls this Friday night, but they will be heavily favored to lock down a playoff spot with a fourth place finish in District 7.

In a game that was rescheduled a week later, Windthorst defeated Archer City 25-14, 258, 25-5, to complete an undefeated run through district on Friday, Oct. 27.
