Most states entered the postseason this past weekend, adding an extra layer of excitement to every Friday night from here on out.

After missing much of the regular season due to injury, Keeyun Chapman returned to action and found the end zone.

Meanwhile, CJ Sadler had a four-touchdown night, including returning the second-half kickoff and taking a screen pass 79 yards. And, in helping Palo Duro secure its first outright district title since 2004, Darien Lewis delivered another all-around performance — scoring on a 42-yard run and a 14-yard reception, and setting up another touchdown with an interception on defense.

Of course, the postseason also signals the end of many senior seasons. Aveon Williams‘s team missed the playoffs, while Skylar Robinson and Carnell Warren saw their squads eliminated in first-round action Friday. Also, with the disappointing cancellation of the IMG Academy-St. Frances Academy matchup, Will Conroy and Duyon Forkpa have now completed their high school careers.
