The fourth and final playoff spot is between Rusk and Henderson. Should Center-Tatum end in a tie, they would be co-champs, and there would be a play-off game for state playoff seeding.

Tenaha can take second in the district with a win at home against the Joaquin Rams Tuesday. The Martinsville Pirates beat Joaquin (1-8) Friday. Should Timpson and Martinsville (5-4) end tied, it makes no difference, as Timpson has clinched a playoff spot due to head-to-head wins over Martinsville. The Bears finish at Shelbyville tomorrow night, Martinsville goes to Beckville. The top-three teams advance to the playoffs. Shelbyville has a first-round bye.
