It was the fifth straight win for Brady, which improved to 6-1 overall and 2-0 in District 5-3A Division II. The Bulldogs will host Early next week.

Eastland fell to 3-4 and 0-2. The Mavericks recently lost by one point to state-ranked Hawley, so they had the look of a dangerous team heading into district play. They’ll visit Dublin next week.

Gunnar Brooks had five catches for 120 yards and three TDs.

The Wildcats can now all but lock up the district title with a win at Robert Lee next week.

Veribest, meanwhile, is in a precarious spot where the Falcons will need to beat Robert Lee at home Nov. 1 to try and earn one of the district's two playoff spot. 

Veribest will have an extra week to get ready for Robert Lee with a bye week next week. The Falcons are now 6-2 overall and 1-1 in District 8-1A Division I.

Water Valley improved to 5-2 overall and 1-0 in district.
