Notes — Going into district play, the District 10 grouping of Chaparral, Cheney, Conway Springs and Garden Plain just had the look of one where the playoff berths would be decided by points. Sure enough, that’s how things played out. After suffering its first loss last week, Chaparral bounced back to beat Conway Springs 33-8 and the decisive win gave the Roadrunners the district title on points over Garden Plain with Conway Springs left out of the playoffs despite its 7-2 record.
