No. 8 Skyline 50, El Dorado Springs 42 – FINAL
El Dorado Springs came into this game having won three of four since its 0-and-4 start to the season. That momentum nearly pushed them to a big-time upset of Skyline. The Tigers led 28-22 at the half and 36-22 with 4:52 to play in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs fought back with 14 unanswered points to tie things, 36-36, with 8:43 to play.

Lockwood fought back hard in the second half, cutting the deficit to 21-7 on a Beerly five-yard touchdown run with three minutes left in the third. A Jobe Edwards touchdown cut into the lead again, making it 21-13 Jasper with 10 minutes to play.
