In Class 3A, where districts are only two teams, Marlow is headed to Frederick, while Comanche is bound for Plainview.

The Marlow boys’ (11-8) recently outperformed Frederick (11-5) at the Stephens County Tournament, though the two didn’t play each other. The Marlow Lady Outlaws (11-8), meanwhile, won the tournament, while Frederick (8-9) took a loss early.

Comanche will be in for a challenge. The Indians (8-11) are taking on the 11th-ranked team inx Plainview (16-3), while the Lady Indians (2-16) are up against sixth best team in Class 3A in Plainview (16-3).
