With two teams as even as the Eagles and Whitefaces, they’ll need to play one more game to decide who gets to advance to the playoffs, and whose season is over.

The final rematch for all the marbles will be on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. CST. Both teams won at home in their head-to-head series, so Thursday’s game will be at Falcon Gym in Bushland, a neutral site.

The winner will advance to the playoffs and hold a #2 seed in Class 4A Division 2, set to play the #1 seed and district champ out of District 3-4A, the Seminole Indians.
