UPDATE on Friday, November 1:
Celina still may be replaced with Argyle in this bracket, given new developments in District 10-3A. Last night Frisco Lone Star defeated Carrollton Ranchview, 34-20.

MATT STEPP: "Just called Argyle HC Todd Rodgers

in 10-3A, the 3 way tie is broken first if one team involved in the tie beats the other two.
In the case of Aubrey, Ranchview, Lone Star that can't happen.

The next tiebreaker if the 3 teams are tied at 1-3 is a positive/negative point system capped at 14. If the scenario is for 2 spots (in this case it would), then you take the top team via points; the two teams who are left go back to head to head.

As it stands:
Aubrey is +11
Frisco Lone Star is +3
Carrollton Ranchview is -14

Lone Star is locked in at +3, Ranchview plays Aubrey next week.

Aubrey wins; Aubrey and Lone Star are in the playoffs and Argyle goes D1 (no 3 way tie breakers needed)

If Ranchview wins by 7 or less...Aubrey is in the playoffs as top point differential AND Lone Star is in based on head to head win over Ranchview

If Ranchview wins by 8 then Aubrey and Lone Star are in at +3 each...Aubrey gets the tie break based on head to head over Lone Star...Lone Star gets the final spot based on head to head over Ranchview

If Ranchview wins by 9 or more....Lone Star is in as top point differential.....Ranchview is in based on head to head win over Aubrey. Argyle goes D2"

How Gilmer came to be known as the Buckeyes

By JOE BLOUNT Long before the birth of Christ the buckeye was known to have medicinal value. The nutlike seed, found abundantly on shrubs here in East Texas, first got its notoriety as a curative agent from the Greco-Roman culture. Their god of medicine was Aesculapian. Even today botanical scientists place the buckeye within the genus Aesculus, recognize it as a member of the horse-chestnut family and are still highly puzzled by its many and varied phytochemicals. “Phyto,” as you may recall from biology, simply means “from plants.” There are a great number of antioxidants and maintenance chemicals found in the buckeye’s pulp. There are also many toxic compounds and several of the substances are downright poisonous. Early Greek docs would skin the buckeye and boil the endosperm, producing a brew that was taken internally. Most often, just as the case may still be today, the cure inevitably turned out to be worse than the disease. So now, we see that the buckeye is poisonous. We also b

Gilmer Buckeyes to play for the state championship tonight

By JOE DODD The top ranked and undefeated Gilmer Buckeyes will try to win the school’s second state championship when they face the Abilene Wylie Bulldogs today at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. The matchup between the Buckeyes and the Bulldogs in the final state title game this decade is a fitting tribute to the two most dominant teams in class 3A since 2000. Gilmer has won more games this decade than any other class 3A team, going 111-17 since 2000. Abilene Wylie is close behind with a 106-26 record. The Buckeyes and Bulldogs will be playing in their third state final in the last 10 years. Both teams won a state title in 2004. Gilmer and Abilene Wylie have combined for nine semifinal appearances this decade, including the 2007 Class 3A Division I semifinal that pitted the two teams against each other for the first time. That game wasn’t decided until the Buckeyes’ Lamar Harris scored on a 34-yard pass
