LAST MINUTE COMEBACK GIVES EAGLES VICTORY
A touchdown pass from Spens Lackey to Kortney McDow with 24 seconds remaining in the game capped off a 20-play, 87-yard drive and gave the Eagles a 24-21 victory over Permian.  Both teams entered the contest undefeated in district and it looked like the Eagles were in trouble trailing 21-10 at the half.  Two sustained drives in the second half, including the go-ahead catch by McDow gave the Eagles the win.  Abilene High began the fourth quarter on their own 17 yard line.  By the time the Panthers lined up for their next offensive play, there were 19 seconds left in the game.
Permian suffered four fumbles in the game, losing one at the AHS 35 and another 12. The Panthers gained 373 total yards to Abilene High’s 315, but the inability to score in the second half cost Mojo the game.

COUGARS CLAW DAWGS, WHILE STEWART ROLLS
Abilene Cooper went 70 yards on six plays when Zach Stewart hit Ricky Stevenson on a 10-yard TD pass to give the Cougars a 31-24 comeback victory in Shotwell Stadium.  Stewart threw for 323 yards and ran for a pair of touchdowns, while setting the District 3-5A single season passing mark with 2,588 yards.  Stevenson had six catches for 132 yards on the night.  John Burns was 8-of-15 for 47 passing yards and had another 147 yards rushing.  Brandon Batch added 152 rushing yards on 23 carries in the Bulldogs loss.

REBELS FIND GROOVE FOR FIRST DISTRICT WIN
The Rebels built a 17-point lead in the first 13 minutes of the game and was able to maintain a double-digit advantage against the Bronchos the rest of the way in their 31-21 decision in Grande Communications Stadium.  Lee's offense had a balanced attack as Amieul Carr rushed for 198 rushing yards and was augmented by 86 yards rushing from Corey Petro and 113 yards passing from Jason Nash.  Odessa High's David Camacho finished the game with 174 rushing yards and 232 passing yards.
